Dead End Relationship

Just the price of a one way car trip,
He says she can pay for the return.
She flings her bra across the room
and closes her eyes as he comes.
Wishing he were the one
He were the one.

And now she's stuck
in a dead end.
Just watching the world fly past.
Now she's counting the days
till the end.
Waiting for someone to play her lie.

It's an hour after ten,
And she picks up the phone and he's there.
Simple things like
"how was your day"
Makes her wish that he was the one.
That he was the one.

Cos now she's trapped
in a dead end.
Just watching the world fly past.
And she's counting the days
till the end.
Waiting for someone to see through her lie.

And then the days turn to weeks
And the months seem to fade into years
And she's wondering why she stays
Clutching the ring in the palm of her hand.

Cos she'll stay there
in that dead end.
Just watching the world fly past.
Though she's counting the days
till the end.
Hoping they all see through her lie.
Though she knows it will kill him inside.

Sometimes late at night she thinks of
the return price for a car.
And in his arms she cries.
