To The Third Degree

Watch your mouth drop open
Did you have something to say?
I wouldn’t waste my time with words
That never really matter anyway.
Cause I’m still standing
And I’m on top of the world
I watch you work your line with a smile
And never say a word.
Do you think I’m easy?
I think you want it this way.
So you can be the victim when
It becomes your role to play.
Cause I’m just a perfect stranger
That you know by name
Sleeping with one eye open
Let you play your game.
Will it make a difference?
I never wanted this way.
I walked an awkward line for awhile
And now there’s hell to pay.
I think you’re playing with fire,
You think you’re playing for keeps.
And will it be surprising when
What you sow is what you reap?
Cause I’m just a perfect stranger
That you know by name
Sleeping with one eye open
Let you play your game
You’re living your life in anger,
Try to take your claim,
But now that my trust is broken
Watch me walk away.
Watch your mouth drop open
Did you have something to say?
I wouldn’t waste my time with words
That never really matter anyway
Cause I’m just a perfect stranger
That you know by name
Sleeping with one eye open
Let you play your game
You’re living your life in anger,
Try to take your claim,
But now that my trust is broken
Watch me walk away.
