Call It Even (Demo)

lyrics

I haven't been gone long but at times like this it feels like many years
So many things gone wrong but I know I can't afford to show my fears
A glass of wine, some throw away lines were all I used to need to make you smile
But closer ties, unforgiven lies has shown to me that that's no longer your style

CHORUS 1
I held close to my heart all that you have done for me
You know I never expected any kind of sympathy
All I asked of you was for a little understanding
And if you knew how hard I try
You couldn't deny that I could
Say we're even
Say we're even

So say I'm to blame even though in my place you would have done the same
But it was always your game so the role of victim was always yours to claim
Another set, another threat, another bet to make me call your bluff
Another crime buried in time, and now I know that I have had enough

CHORUS 2
I can't shake from my mind all that you have done to me
You're a fool if you expected any kind of sympathy
All I asked of you was for a little understanding
But with all the games you play
Give me a single reason to
Say we're even
Say we're even

The curl of your lips once so appealing now seem to have lost their grip
The sway of your hips from where sensuality flowed it now just seems to drip
And you know why, don't try to lie, there's only so far any man can go
When pushed aside to suit your pride, it can't be long before the bitterness grows

CHORUS 3
I can't shake from my mind all that you have done to me
You're a fool if you expected any kind of sympathy
When you never even offered me the slightest understanding
But with all that you have done
Give me a single reason to
Call us even
Call us even
