The Way It Is

I left you, weak and feeble
I was the wicked witch
I gave you warning, you said ‘stay til’ the morning’
You use me now to scratch that itch
That she can’t scratch
Can’t see her like that
Oh, you love her, I become the bitch
I see the way it is
My birthday, what's it to you anyway?
A day to set things straight
I’m really showing my age
You are a victim to your lack of care
You can’t pretend I’m not there
You can’t pretend that I never was, cause’ I was
I know I was there because
You dragged me through the mud
Then you kissed me on the lips
Then you raved about your freedom, all the things that you won’t miss
It's all in your favour, but you act like my saviour
Telling me what I need, you embody all the greed you were afraid of
When coming out of me
Hypocrisy is love, meet me at the altar
You say marriage is divorce, you say my body’s what you’re after
Touch me under the table, take her out on the town
I’m in your family’s thoughts and prayers
All atheists devout
Tell me just how it is
Tell me the way it is
Tell me the way it is
Tell me the way it is

There’s a list of names I have been eager to erase
But I had written them in marker, it's a trouble to forget the names that stain
I have been scratching at it, I have been clawing at the page
An ugly collage of the men I claim to love then claim to hate
And I find it easy
Oh it's a breeze to me
If burning bridge was clean, I’d make a flame, I’d watch ours gleam
But you are beauty with no spine
Won’t cause the scene I know that you’d prefer to see
Brushing of the fingertips
I’m sick of it, I’m sick with it
But pity we were so forbidden in a big new city
I loved how you moved like a moth to the light off the penny we found on the floor of the brightest lit room
I knew we were doomed, did you?
That made it easy, earthcrossers wandering
Trains gotta blow off steam
I am the rail if he’s the wheel
I’ll let him move to me
And then I’ll sleep
