Ryan Wiesner - Two-Way Street lyrics

When you look at me, I don't feel the love I need Conceiving deceiving thoughts you think that I can't see The lack of interest, so don't disagree You're the perfect illustration of what love can't be And this is what you get when you want to change direction But start slipping down the alleys on a two-way street I saw the tire marks drifting from a mile away But I never deviated—always stayed my course Because I believed in every little word you said I turned the headlights on max intensity But they both burned out When you slipped down the alleyway And I never took the time to read The words written on the wall you put in front of me Then I got wise to the alibis hiding up your sleeve And as the tire marks drifted more erratically I disregarded all those things that you said to me And when the smoke cleared, I was left in disarray I saw you for what you were When you slipped down that alleyway So look me in the eyes and lie through your teeth It's all the same; it makes no difference what you say right now Because I finally realized how For so long the truth had eluded me Then I caught you slipping down the alleys on a two-way street Do what you will You can't take what you've done back When you told me that you would never leave Those words masked your infidelity And you had it your way You took what you wanted I don't need what you've got back Now that I've seen your true face So just have it your way I always knew that it would end this way It's not a two-way street It never was a two-way street
