It's like a pencil with erasers at both ends
I've won it all but we're dealing in purses
And these activities that you have engaged in
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
We begin with concluding remarks
Break up the pieces and examine the parts
Your words always cut when they're cliché
But here's my knife because I came for the buffet
This is the way it goes when you are part of it
Nervously saying words, little surprising then
A mark beneath the chin
I've caught you once again
It's in the way you sound, every word and phrase
Leading me to know how much the meaning weighs
Saying that but meaning this
Gazing hence for emphasis
Oh, you'd like to think that you're the best part of me
But I confess there is nothing left of you here
These parallels and silly games hide your face
And say the name, say the name
This is the way it goes when you are part of it
Nervously saying words, little surprising then
A mark beneath the chin
I've caught you once again
It's in the way you sound, every word and phrase
Leading me to know how much the meaning weighs
Saying that but meaning this
Your tears fall in process
There's that smile again
There's that smile again
We fake it and I fall
I know you write it
What a fool of him
To fall for it
Each time
This is the way it goes when you are part of it
Nervously saying words, little so tightly fit
It's in the way you sound, every word and phrase
Leading me to know how much the meaning weighs
This is the way it goes when you are part of it
Nervously saying words, little surprising then

A mark beneath the chin

Nervously saying words, little surprising then
A mark beneath the chin

This is the way it goes when you are part of it
Saying that but meaning this
The way it goes when you are part of it
Nervously saying words, little surprising then

Leading me to know how much the meaning weighs
It's in the way you sound, every word and phrase
Your eyes are telling the bright, bright lies
Your eyes are telling the bright, bright lies
Your eyes are telling the bright, bright lies
Your eyes are telling the bright, bright lies
