Touché

©1998 Jenny Brooklin

 

Verse I:

            I guess it shouldn’t be a big surprise

            I was almost taken by your lies

            I should’ve known you’d be screwing with my mind

            you’d already burnt your bridges

            and you’d left them all behind...

            should’ve known I’d be next in line

Chorus:

I can’t believe I let you walk all over me, over me, over me

I just can’t believe I trusted what you would say to me,

say to me, say to me

I don’t have that much faith in my own judgment these days

but you know I’d find a way to sing about it anyways,

anyways, anyways

            ...touché

Verse II:

            I wonder if you’ll be embarrassed by my song

            I wonder if you even care about what has gone wrong

            you can’t keep going on this way, you can’t go on

            one of these days you will  find that you’re all alone

            and all your friends have flown

Chorus:

 

Bridge:

        don’t you know--

that your talent hides beneath the lies

you’re wasting time and precious energy besides

don’t you know--that you’re missing out on living life

with someone you could really fly with.

ooo

Brother when you’re on my mind---I can’t help but sympathize

what you’re doing now I bet---is setting up you’re next regret

hey man, what is up with you---nothing that you say is true

hope one day you’ll realize you’re life has turned to lies and lies

                        (and lies, and lies and lies and lies...)

what a waste of time!

                        (and lies and lies and lies and lies---it’s all a pack of lies)

                       

Verse III:

            You don’t seem to give a shit (although you may)

            maybe in fact you do look back with some dismay

            could be I’m wrong to analyze you in this way

            it’s just that I take it personally when I’m betrayed

            that’s it…there’s nothing left to say...
