The Knot Will See Me Gone

There's a bird in the bush, he's singing your song,
There's another in the gutter, he's singing it all wrong,
There's no harmony between them, the melody's gone,
Just like our love, it's all out of tune.

You've been seeing him behind my back again,
And still you hold on to the lie, - "just good friends",
Well I'm getting the news that there's much more to it,
The grapevine is whispering all kinds of shit.

Talk to me damn you, let's work this thing out,
I can't hide any longer, your name's all over town,
And it's breaking my heart to hear what's being said.
Is it so foolish of me, to wish I was dead?

My ego's been tarnished and it's bringing me down,
My pride bears the foolishness of the crying clown,
Teardrops, like raindrops, fall cold on my skin,
I'm weakened by rumor. Is there any truth to your sin?

The cold accusations that are causing my pain...
They keep coming back to haunt me, again and again,
I can no longer ignore the fear and the dread,
That I'm not the only one sharing your bed.

So come clean woman, tell me where I stand?
I cannot stand between you and that other man,
If he's that satisfaction you've been craving for so long,
Tell me that you love him, and the knot will see me gone!
