You Lie - Tami Neilson

There’s no lipstick on your collar

You haven’t spent a dollar

On roses or fancy hotel rooms

You’re smart enough to hide it

But fool enough to keep denying the truth

And I can see your fingers shakin'

With each promise that you’re breakin', I know

But instead of packing up your things to go

You lie beside me

When you get home in the cold dead of night

And you lie in our bed each dawn’s early light

You lie in her arms

Like a thief stealing my precious time

And I’m tired

Of waking up to the place where you lie

This town is full of whispers

About seeing you 'round with her

Seems you’re finally taking out the trash

You shake your head, you roll your eyes

Say that it’s all in my mind, relax

But after all these years together

Honey, no-one knows you better than me

But instead of packing up your things to leave

You lie beside me

When you get home in the cold dead of night

And you lie in our bed each dawn’s early light

You lie in her arms

Like a thief stealing my precious time

So you’ll find I’ll be gone in the morning

While you lie
