Forever Otherwise - Green Lyrics

You strip search my answers when I get in
Who was I out with where I have been
Your tongue's turned forensic, your eyes burning green
That corrosive, morosive, explosive bad gene
That loads all your questions, suspicion and doubt
And it takes all the fun out of me going out

You check me for lipstick and sniff for cologne
You look out for love bites you ransack my phone
Demand every detail of who, where and when
And then when I've told you, you ask me again
And the fear in your face and the hurt in your heart
Is making a wedge that will split us apart

You discard my denials and sneer at my truth
Despite all my alibis and all my proof
You conjure a sordid liaison or two
A grope in the car park, a f*ck in the loo
It hurts that your trust is so shrivelled and dead
And that you see my betrayal so clear in your head
