The Same Sun - Two-Way Street Lyrics
When you look at me, I don’t feel the love I needConceiving deceiving thoughts you think that I can’t seeThe lack of interest, so don’t disagreeYou’re the perfect illustration of what love can’t beAnd this is what you get when you want to change directionBut start slipping down the alleys on a two-way streetI saw the tire marks drifting from a mile awayBut I never deviated—always stayed my courseBecause I believed in every little word you saidI turned the headlights on max intensityBut they both burned outWhen you slipped down the alleywayAnd I never took the time to readThe words written on the wall you put in front of meThen I got wise to the alibis hiding up your sleeveAnd as the tire marks drifted more erraticallyI disregarded all those things that you said to meAnd when the smoke cleared, I was left in disarrayI saw you for what you wereWhen you slipped down that alleywaySo look me in the eyes and lie through your teethIt’s all the same; it makes no difference what you say right nowBecause I finally realized howFor so long the truth had eluded meThen I caught you slipping down the alleys on a two-way streetDo what you willYou can’t take what you’ve done backWhen you told me that you would never leaveThose words masked your infidelityAnd you had it your wayYou took what you wantedI don’t need what you’ve got backNow that I’ve seen your true faceSo just have it your wayI always knew that it would end this wayIt’s not a two-way streetIt never was a two-way street
