The Worst Way

\nWhen apple pie and custard tastes of bile and engine oil,
\nWhen sunny skies are raining in your heart,
\nWhen innocent expressions find capacity to spoil
\nThe perfect day that you are still to start,
\nWhen love becomes a burden and a kiss can’t set you free,
\nYou’ve found the mental illness that we label jealousy.<\/p>\n
You started seeing starlight in the twinkle in her eyes,
\nThen it becomes an eerie greenish glow;
\nYou hear her simple statements as a web of liquid lies
\nAnd make up all the pain you cannot know.
\nWhen you stop hearing laughter in the music of her voice
\nYou’ve given in to jealousy and lost the power of choice.<\/p>\n
“I’m out” becomes admitting to a string of love affairs,
\n“OK?” is telling you to go away.
\nYour confidence is marching to the bottom of the stairs
\nEach fibre of your being starts to fray.
\nShe’s there because she loves you but you’re turning that to hate,
\nA strategy too stupid for a fool to contemplate.<\/p>\n
So when she says she wants you try to think it may be true
\nAnd when she whispers love give her a kiss,
\nIt isn’t hard to beat it when you first pick up the clue
\nThat given half a chance there can be bliss.
\n“I’m torn apart by jealousy” just means you’re torn apart,
\nYou’ll find your only company’s a withered, broken, heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
