Credible Lie

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
