The keys are upon the door where you left them last,
don't you know, dear?
Next to the shards of the whiskey glass where you drowned your past,
and your career.
Now, don't forget to pack up those prints of your precious son,
you've abandoned.
Although I'm sure he thinks less of you from the stories spun,
of your antics
Oh, you think that you're so, damn, charismatic,
Since your unjustified esteem, comes, automatic
What if I told you that your friends find your truths erratic
And that your worldview now resembles one psychopathic
But, dear,
you say that you love me so,
oh, I know...
(instrumental interlude)
Do you remember the riverside, where you promised me,
by the moonlight
That you would always be by my side, and for endlessly,
for a lifetime,
Well, darling, you'll have to break that vow, though you did no wrong,
to your dearest,
Though I wonder if "Dearest," now, would be singing your song,
at your cheapest.
Take your love back to that child you call your mistress
And, your, gold back to the children you left in distress
It's, not, even that your promises hold no value,
More that you left your moral compass to be sold in plain view
But, dear,
you say that you love me so,
oh, I know...
(interlude)
I know, when you say, how I'm,
the light of your life, you speak the truth.
But when you have been so blind,
it seems, that the light is not for you.
