Tell Me Why

You wake up every morning around five forty-five
And in their beds, two beautiful children and a good wife
You say I'm going to work now
And then you kiss her goodbye
And she says don't be late for dinner tonight, mmhmm
Tick tock, tick tock
That's the sound of the living room clock as she waits there
Any time now
She's starting to wonder
Is he telling the truth
She doesn't wanna think about the bad things that could be happening
She's about to lose her mind

So tell me why you would do that to one
Who put all their trust in you
It's a bad decision
One of the worst sins
So why do you lie

You come home around two o'clock
In the morning
She asks where have you been, uh oh
You said I was out doing the things I do
She's not buying it after the stress she's been through
You think you can get away with it
But you can't, no

Tell me why you would do that to one
Who put all their trust in you (Trust in you)
It's a bad decision
One of the worst sins
So tell me why do you lie

This is the big picture of what could be
If you don't stop doing what you're doing
It could end up just like this, oh
Tell me, tell me
Why you keep messing around
Tell me, tell me
Why you won't stop this now
Tell me, tell me
I need to learn my lession
Tell me, tell me
I need to stop this now, oh
I need to stop this now
I need to stop this now
I need to stop this now, now, now, now
I need to stop this now
I need to stop this now
I need to stop this now, oh
I need to stop this now
I need to stop this now
I need to stop this now, oh
I need to stop this now
I need to stop this now
I need to stop this now, oh

Tell me why you would do that to one
Who put all their trust in you (Trust in you)
It's a bad decision
One of the worst sins
Tell me why would you lie, tell me why
Tell me why you would do that to one (Why would you do it, man)
Who put all their trust in you
It's a bad decision
One of the worst sins (I need to stop now)
Tell me why would you lie
Tell me why
