He asks me where I've been He looks at me the way he always does Before he makes a scene And pours another whiskey in his glass His anger builds inside Towards another sleepless night But ... There's nothing I can say He knows he's only making matters worse It always ends this way I'll be crying and then he'll be slamming doors Still shouting from outside I know he won't be back tonight What if this love was just something that happened L-O-V-E spelled across the sky What if this love wasn't taken for granted A most convenient, long credible lie Still I never find the words And if I did he wouldn't hear them anyway I know he really hurts But there's a price that I just can't afford to pay A war that I can't fight It may be killing me tonight What if this love was just something that happened L-O-V-E spelled across the sky What if this love wasn't taken for granted A most convenient, long credible lie And when he is back There will be excuses Flowers and anything he can think of No matter what This time he loses Don't wanna be strangled by this kind of love What if this love was just something that happened L-O-V-E spelled across the sky What if this love wasn't taken for granted A most convenient, long credible lie
