Well, this night just feels outdated It's a tired reminder of the bad whe you held on to what you hated and you hated what you had And your mind was out on the corner sellin' herself as something cheap Your pride he says he owns her and she's dumb, she follows like a sheep She don't know what he does to a lover He'll whisper lies in a restless ear He tells a wife she don't deserve to hover over a man who doesn't seem to hear Some things are easy to forget, even if they're bigger than the now And she has tried to remember them but she can't remember how So she lies on her bed staring up at the cracks in the ceiling She's even pinched herself to wake up, but her body's got no feeling Well he calls her out on the driveway He's pullin' her by her hips He says you ought to come by my way and he kisses her on the lips His mouth feels cold to her heart unlike her man who's still asleep in their bed But she numbs herself to that part And she leans to what she calls her head And though her face had turned away for a moment and her eyes had flashed a bit with doubt She felt the tug of a brilliant showman And she was on her way out It wasn't long before she was out sellin' on the corner like something cheap on a night that could feel like hell in the reminders that it made you keep Like the one where you were standin' on the driveway there was a cold feeling on your lips Some woman's saying to ya come my way and she's pullin' you by your hips But the prodigal did not stay way There was a destiny he had to keep And I may give my mind a dirty day But tonight I got floors to sweep Some things are easy to forget, even if they're bigger than the now And you have tried to remember them but you can't remember how So you lie on your bed staring at the cracks in the ceiling You've even pinched yourself to wake up, but your body's got no feel
