Deception On His Mind

And she doesn't notice
That sideways glance
The way his eyes will stray
And she doesn't notice
That he's exhausted every second chance
And she should have sent him away

She should have recognised
She should have read the signs
But she has more to worry about
Than the deception on his mind

And she refuses to accept
That extra attention
The way he comes home late at night
And she refuses to accept
That there's a lack of affection
But she'll do anything to avoid a fight

She should have recognised
She should have read the signs
But she has more to worry about
Than the deception on his mind

And she doesn't care
About that scent of perfume
Something about it is so familiar
And she pretends not to care
She believes it's not her place to assume
She believes ignorance is better than fear

She should have recognised
She should have read the signs
But she has more to worry about
Than the deception on his mind

Cuts on her wrists
Bruises from his fists
Forgiveness is hard to find
But somehow she copes with
The deception on his mind.
