You say you didn’t
I don’t believe you
You say I shouldn’t
But I just stare right on through
I say we oughtn’t
You just shout it back at me
You say that this should not be
And I must say that I agree

But when you’re walking out on me
You look so beautiful that I could cry
And I do, and I do
Those traitorous tears
Betray that maybe I am
Less sure than I say
I still love you
And I do, and I do
Despite what I say, I still want you to stay

But we’re still fighting over
Teeth and nails
Over laundry and dinner and over
The winter, we wait, holed up
Looking at each other from
The corners of our eyes
And while the world turns white
We wonder why we even try

You say you’re leaving
I laugh, you’ll just be back again
You say this time it’s serious
I just ignore you; this is always how it’s been
You say this time we’re through
You pack up all your bags
And you leave just like you do

But when you’re walking out on me
I swear I see something in your eyes
And we say, and we say
But maybe we say
To cover up the truth
Of what staying really means
And we say, and we say
But in the end, it’s always back to you and me

But we’re still fighting over
Teeth and nails
Over laundry and dinner and over
The winter, we wait, holed up
Looking at each other from
The corners of our eyes
And while the world turns white
We wonder why we even try

We just don’t get along
Busy singing angry songs
And watching through the window
Hoping we can still be
Strong enough to not pick up the phone
And beg, and beg
Strong enough to just go it alone
And beg, and beg
We beg and we plead, but there’s nothing for this need

Are you walking out on me?
Are you walking out on me?
Why do we live this way?
Is there any other way to be?

Are you walking out on me?
Are you walking out on me?
Why do we live this way?
Is there any other way to be?

Hey, Trish -

This is great! Why don't you enter it in the CFPC #18 comp? It's Songs and Lyrics this time.

But I just stare right on though

through

But when you’re walking on out me

out on me?

These were incredible hun. The chorus in particular is just jam packed with some fantastically arranged words. In particular, I like the corner of the eyes bit. I can completely picture it, and have found myself in situations where I bit my tongue and glared through the corners of my eyes.

I have to agree with Rick, if you just wrote these you really should enter them in the CFPC!

Oops, thanks for the editing. Lyrics, huh? I might just do that. Thanks for your comments. ^_^
