lyrics

so here we sit
you and your dirty little secret
and you're staring into middle distance
"wow," i say, "i never thought you liked that window,
but the two of you could fall in love right now"
you say, "i'm just tired," but i know a half-lie
when it's dripping from your mouth
i'll let it slide but i know one day i'll find out
we're only temporary
we're only temporary

why lie to me?
i know we're heading for the same place every empire goes
why lie to me?
i know, i know

so here we are
me and the one who'll break my heart
guess i should've known it was a snake
when i picked it up
took it to my room
let it sink its fangs back into me
with a bite so righteous i wear the bruise
like a badge you pin each week
a secret shared
between each mirror that sees me
it's only temporary
it's only temporary

why lie to me...

see there's a line
and you knew it
and you know what you did
this could end
quick and simple
but you're keeping it hid
and i'm sure
that you're sorry
but it ain't like we're kids
'cause you knew
if you did it
it would come down to this so why lie?

about

Paul Tabachneck New York

I started doing music in Pittsburgh, fronting the folk-rock band Stone Soup, the dark-pop band Dead Pressed Flowers, and the Power Pop band Manpig aka Everybody Wins. After that, I moved to New York, mostly playing solo and busking a lot. Now I live in CT and play in my home office because everything is bad and no one can go out. See me Wednesdays at 7:30 at facebook.com/paultab! ... more
