Never Expire

You told me words that will never expire

Watch what my body says when you’re caught being a liar

I’ll fire words as staccato sounds

Grinding my teeth, shoulders tightly wound

You told me words that I had once admired

Once I was sure that our love wouldn’t change

Oh how I’ve been so wrong, you’re the only to blame

You gently weep as my forehead frowns

Absent words keep and a heartache pounds

You told me words that I no longer require

But your heart was the furthest thing away

When you told how you’d chosen to behave

And the false words you told me made haste

All the tales and secret ways that kept their pace

Talking of faults, shifting blame from yourself

Caught in a mess of words when you try lying as help

Try to be stable while my anger swells

You’ve been unfaithful but my heart won’t dwell

You told me words that will never expire

But your heart was the furthest thing away

When you told how you’d chosen to behave

And the false words you told me made haste

All the tales and secret ways that kept their pace

But your heart was the furthest thing away

When you told how you’d chosen to behave

And the false words you told me made haste

All the tales and secret ways that kept their pace
