Double Exposure - Present Tense (2007)
Composed by John Murphy
---
Had some time to sit and think things through
There's not really much left that I can do
Many more have lost at what I had saved
Would have been too easy to blow away
Are you gonna let me have my way
Can't you see that I loved you more each day
Let me be the one that holds on to the tears
When it's too dark I want you near
You only see me when you want to, baby
After all you try to hide
I'm gonna make a change to show you, baby
Right before your very eyes
These eyes that have seen only me
Yesterday will get you when it's gone
I don't wanna become your idle pawn
Sipping your white wine with that confident tease
You get your laugh and I say please
Baby, one will be there that sighs my name
It isn't hard to understand you, baby
Or what it is you try to blame
Let's forget I ever showed up baby
'Cause you're gonna play this game
And you know how these games seem to fade
