Two-Way Street

When you look at me, I don't feel the love I need
 Conceiving deceiving thoughts you think that I can't see
 The lack of interest, so don't disagree
 You're the perfect illustration of what love can't be
 And this is what you get when you want to change direction
 But start slipping down the alleys on a two-way street
 I saw the tire marks drifting from a mile away
 But I never deviated—always stayed my course
 Because I believed in every little word you said
 I turned the headlights on max intensity
 But they both burned out
 When you slipped down the alleyway
 And I never took the time to read
 The words written on the wall you put in front of me
 Then I got wise to the alibis hiding up your sleeve
 And as the tire marks drifted more erratically
 I disregarded all those things that you said to me
 And when the smoke cleared, I was left in disarray
 I saw you for what you were
 When you slipped down that alleyway
 So look me in the eyes and lie through your teeth
 It's all the same; it makes no difference what you say right now
 Because I finally realized how
 For so long the truth had eluded me
 Then I caught you slipping down the alleys on a two-way street
 Do what you will
 You can't take what you've done back
 When you told me that you would never leave
 Those words masked your infidelity
 And you had it your way
 You took what you wanted
 I don't need what you've got back
 Now that I've seen your true face
 So just have it your way
 I always knew that it would end this way
 It's not a two-way street
 It never was a two-way street
