Not A Matter Of Pride

	She knows he thinks about her
	Though the times are not so grand
	But you can only play the cards
	You are holding in your hand
	She knows he thinks of leaving
	Doesn’t want to let him know
	While there’s something left unfinished
	Something that she needs to know
	She says let’s decorate the bedroom
	D.I.Y from the superstore
	But he’s five cans down his six-pack
	Is not listening anymore
	Yet she feels his heart is kinder
	Than he wants to let her think
	So she exercises patience
	Does the dishes in the sink
	Take your time
	Till you decide
	It’s a matter of love
	Not a matter of pride
	When people get close
	They sometimes collide
	Oh how the truth
	Get’s turned into lies
	He says I wish I had some weeks
	I’d show this town a thing or two
	See my woman let her hair down
	Like she always wanted to
	Though I’m just a weekend dreamer
	Still my heart’s not far away
	Would she be better if I leave her
	Or better if I stay?
	Take your time
	Till you decide
	It’s a matter of love
	Not a matter of pride
	When people get close
	They sometimes collide
	Oh how the truth
	Get’s turned into lies
	He doesn’t want another woman
	She doesn’t look at other men
	An affair might be exciting
	Yet disappoint you in the end
	They both know there’s something missing
	Floating just beyond their reach
	In this lovers’ search and rescue
	Will they find what they might keep?
	Take your time
	Till you decide
	It’s a matter of love
	Not a matter of pride
	When people get close
	They sometimes collide
	Oh how the truth
	Get’s turned into lies
