It Went On

It’s late at night
Where could she be?
Laying her head on another man’s bed
This times have changed
Where did I go wrong?
My heart is tired and my will isn’t strong
Hold on to me, baby
Why can’t you see?
Is it me or your fidelity?
Open your arms, darling
Come back to me
It came down like a rocket in the night
And it blew up bright in the sky
When the debris came down falling with a glow
It left a crack in the middle
Since then this heart has been splitting like a tree
That was struck down hard by lightning
And I hate how all I can do is watch in awe
As the scheme to this lie went on
When morning came
She snuck back home
Hoping that I would still be asleep
I hear her steps
I smell her scent
Something that I won’t believe and deny
Hold on to me, baby
Why can’t you see?
Is it me or your dishonesty?
Open your arms, darling
Come back to me
It came down like a rocket in the night
And it blew up bright in the sky
When the debris came down falling with a glow
It left a crack in the middle
Since then this heart has been splitting like a tree
That was struck down hard by lightning
And I hate how all I can do is watch in awe
As the scheme to this lie went on
She sat down with me crying in the car
Then she pulled my hand so frightened
Then she spoke of words that I hoped I wouldn’t hear
Something that I knew inside
She slept with him in the confines of her home
While I worried for her safety
Since then this heart has been splitting like a tree
And the night that fell went on
It came down like a rocket in the night
And it blew up bright in the sky
When the debris came down falling with a glow
It left a crack in the middle
Since then this heart has been splitting like a tree
That was struck down hard by lightning
And I hate how all I can do is watch in awe
As the scheme to this lie went on
