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....
