Spotlight Tonight

You’re back for good you say
But when bad shows up you’ll run away
You’ve always been one for dramatic gestures
Lofty statements and long love letters

That's the way you've always been
You fall in love then push back screaming

Finally the full moon’s a spotlight
Blindly I’ve walked through the night
Too many times, ignoring signs
Choosing ignorance over loneliness
But you clung to your lies
Like you could never cling to me

To find yourself you had to go away
I waited patiently for 22 days
Do you remember how you left without a word
In the middle of the night just like a convict or a coward

I'm not sure I want a man
Who says he loves me just to leave me again

Finally the full moon’s a spotlight
Blindly I’ve walked through the night
Too many times, ignoring signs
Choosing ignorance over loneliness
But you clung to your lies
Like you could never cling to me, to me

You’re coming back with tales of a storybook love
Saying I'm all you thought of
Looking back on those days together
I remember how you lied to me and went and met her
On what was supposed to be our night
You return trying to pick a fight
Making me believe I was the reason
For you turning right around and leaving

Finally the full moon’s a spotlight
Blindly I’ve walked through the night
Too many times, ignoring signs
You were so charismatic
Smiling, holding your lies in your pocket
My mind remembers and so does my heart
And that's the tricky part, tricky part, tricky part
Tricky part
