Ohh, mhh, I see the way you look at me,
But your heart's torn, love's not free.
In the shadows, where we hide,
Mhh, you're not just mine, though I've tried.
I met you in the quiet of the night,
Your wedding ring hidden from sight.
You told me stories of a love gone cold,
But your promises, they never took hold.
Mhh, you said you'd leave, but you never do,
Your children's faces haunt the truth.
Mhh, in the silence, where we lay so close,
Your warmth feels real, but it's just a ghost.
I'm not the one you go home to,
Yet I'm the one who's losing you.
Ohhh, I thought love was worth the pain,
But I'm left standing in the rain.
Ohh, mhh, I see the way you look at me,
But your heart's torn, love's not free.
In the shadows, where we hide,
Mhh, you're not just mine, though I've tried.
(The quiet strumming of the guitar fills the room,
Mhh, I wait for answers that never bloom.)
Ohh, mhh, I see the way you look at me,
But your heart's torn, love's not free.
(Soft guitar plucking, like tears falling in the dark.)
You say it's for them, you can't break free,
But I see the chains that hold you to me.
The lies, the guilt, they wear us down,
Yet I can't leave this battleground.
Mhh, I'm the secret you carry deep,
While your wife holds the life you keep.
Mhh, in the silence, where we lay so close,
Your warmth feels real, but it's just a ghost.
I'm not the one you go home to,
Yet I'm the one who's losing you.
Ohhh, I thought love was worth the pain,
But I'm left standing in the rain.
Ohh, mhh, I see the way you look at me,
But your heart's torn, love's not free.
In the shadows, where we hide,
Mhh, you're not just mine, though I've tried.
(Acoustic guitar echoes the solitude of the plains.)
Ohh, mhh, I see the way you look at me,
But your heart's torn, love's not free.
