Shelley

Shelley wasn't there again today
So once again he didn't get to say, "I'm sorry"
But then just maybe he wouldn't anyway
Gathers all his hopes up off the floor
Underestimated how much more she wanted
And took for granted she'd never choose the door

Would I lie to you?
Would I ever tell you less than half the truth?
Do you really think I could?
Well, yes
Yes I guess you would

Sharing his own company again
Doesn't make for scintillating conversation
A situation that possibly explains
Why Robbie's sitting outside in the rain
Staring at the window of the plain white building
Where Shelley's sleeping or should be anyway

Would I lie to you?
Would I ever tell you less than half the truth?
Do you really think I could?
Well, yes
Yes I guess you

Would you ever accept part of the blame?
Would you ever expect me to do the same?

Shelley finds him snoring on the lawn
Running late for work but now she's torn: he's stalking
But maybe talking could still avoid a war
Leaves a scribbled note there on his chest
Hurries off and hopes it's for the best
"6:30 and this time I'll be...
I promise I'll be there"

Would I lie to you?
Would I ever tell you less than half the truth?
Do you really think I could?
Well, yes

Would I lie to you?
Would I ever tell you less than half the truth?
Do you really think I could?
Well, yes
Yes, I guess you would
History says you should
So yes, I guess you

Shelley wasn't there again
She wasn't there again
Shelley wasn't there again today

Shelley wasn't there again
She wasn't there again
Shelley wasn't there again today
