The Food

The food is on the table but there's something really wrong
When you came back from that phone call you were just a little too long
It wasn't really your sister
Your sister can't bring out those tears
How long has this been going on has it been days or moinths or years
How long since I've been alone?
How long since I've been sharing you? How long?
That weekend you spent at the seashore you wouldn't take the kids
Now that I'm thinking more clearly you kept the truth well hid
You've been really good at this
I havent't had a clue
How many time have I been alone since I was in bed with you?
How long since I've been alone?
How long since I've been sharing you? How long ........
Since you were mine
You were mine
You were.
Were you in love with both of us or was I a passenger all the way through?
Are you crying now because you're gonna leave me or because you found out
He's left you
I'm taking the kids
I'm going to wreck this place
This is the last time we'll see each other
I'm gone
How long since I've been alone?
How long since I've been sharing you? How long ........
Since you were mine
You were mine
You were.
