lyrics

can he see you standing there
all in leather and in skin
intention sparkles in your hair
and every move you make for him
how many times will it take to prove
how many songs is he gonna send
all of the skill that you have to use
to become a rock star's girlfriend

and i'm so glad i'm not like you
i try too hard to deny
but i have to say it when i see it
the way out is not always a lie

you wake up in some man's bed
hung over in the afternoon
wondering if the kids got fed
before they made it off to school
great big thoughts for little minds
turn it til you can defend
all the ways they learn to lie
the ways of nobody's friend

and i'm go glad i'm not like you
i've tried too hard to deny
but i have to say it when i see it
the way out is not always a lie

deadbeat dad at the end of the bar
beat dead feelings til they get hard
and now you're happy hanging off the arm
of a lying cop calling coward
well you try so hard and you feel too strong
there's company at every dead end
they'll be there to hear you sing that song
when you're the unhappy ex-girlfriend

and i'm go glad i'm not like you
i've tried too hard to deny
but i have to say it when i see it
the way out is not always a lie

it's not always a lie
