We used to make love on the kitchen floor
Now I’m blowing kisses at your front door
Maybe some will slip through the window screen
I have a key that won’t fit in your lock
A number to call if I need to talk
But all I ever get is your machine

You said you’d always be a friend to me
But now you’re sleeping with my enemy
I bet my picture came down from your wall
Our anniversary was on the third
But it was her company you preferred
I’m sure I didn’t cross your mind at all

We still see each other from time to time
But you act like you’re committing a crime
You can’t even look right into my eyes
You search your pockets for a cigarette
I offer a light I knew you’d forget
Why does that come to you as a surprise?

You know me, honey
You know who I am
Please tell me that this
Is all just a sham

Just a stupid joke
That you will soon end
Because I can’t stand
Being just a friend

I can see her name tattooed on your wrist
And it’s clear that you were recently kissed
Some little hints to give strangers a clue
Her shade of lipstick is darker than mine
But these days my lips are just stained with wine
There are nights I still raise my glass to you

I smile and turn ‘cause there’s nothing to say
My high-heeled boots click as I walk away
Tears fall as quickly as you broke my heart
The city is oblivious to this
Her lovers don’t leave, so what’s there to miss?
She doesn’t let traffic tear her apart

The streetlights change, but I am still the same
Another loser in this twisted game
I guess it’s the cheaters who always win
Your piece knocked mine right off the playing board
And then moved along to claim your reward
You’ll be happy if you stay above skin

You know me, honey
You know who I am
Please tell me that this
Is all just a sham

Just a stupid joke
That you will soon end
Because I can’t stand
Being just a friend
 
Grerat!;) I like how you worded things like the "Her shade of lipstick is darker than mine
But these days my lips are just stained with wine" part.;)
