Oblique

And I bet you wonder why

I can't look you in the eye

When I see you sometimes at the show....

And I always wonder how

you can keep your head about

As we pass you smile at me

Though I always turn away

I'm trying to repay

All those smiles that I never return

Now the days they seem so long

Because I'm all alone

It makes me wonder how it could ever have come to

Such a decision as this

She says it's not because of you

There's nothing you can say or do

To make me change my mind this time

I'm sure the truth is only one question away

Save it for another day

And questions produce lies

A beautiful but sinsister disguise

Something take my mind off of the pain

She says things could be that bad

But when you look at what we had

It makes me wonder how we could ever have come to

Such a decision as this

She says I'm the one

But don't have so much fun

When I'm gone 'cause I'll be home real soon and then

She was gone away again

I never know when she'll be back

I never know just why she had to go away

She says I'm the one

But don't have so much fun

When I'm gone 'cause I'll be home real soon and then

She was going away again

I never know when she'll be back

I never know just why she had to go away

And I bet you wonder why

I can't look you in the eye....
