The way he reads her face
The way he reads her eyes
The way he reads the mood
That she's in
And as he loses grip
She's widowed
Inch by inch
She fears that the day that he says
I'm on to you
I used to think i loved you
But how can that be true?
I'm on to you
You say you'll do the things
That you'll never do
So i'm leaving you
But he ain't leaving you
She's in a fragile state
She can't make up her mind
She's waiting for the future to begin
Then she's gives out
To the ravages of doubt
He fears the day that she says
I'm on to you
I used to think i loved you
But how can that be true?
I'm on to you
You say you'll do the things
That you'll never do
So i'm leaving you
But she ain't leaving you
No, i ain't leaving you
