You must be signed in to post feedback.
I'll never understand why you treated him so bad
As far as I can tell he gave you everything he had
Still you repaid him with your insolence and kept him hanging on
Until I caught your eye and in a heartbeat you were gone
And I won't be the one who takes the fall
'Cause I can see the writing on the wall
You can act like nothing happened just as sweet as you please
Turning on your girlish charm, trying to bring me to my knees
But I know how this story ends, I've heard it all before
It won't be too long before you're walking out the door
And I won't be the one who takes the fall
'Cause I can see the writing on the wall
If you want to be my friend, I'll never turn you down
But, I'll tell you now I don't intend to give you any ground
'Cause I don't want to be just a sweet memory
A woman like you could never love a man like me
And I won't be the one who takes the fall
'Cause I can see the writing on the wall
Yeah, I can see the writing on the wall

Al, Another good song, nice solo and transition into the last Verse. It’s dark but my favorite lines are in “But, I’ll tell you now I don’t intend to give you any ground” and “A woman like you could never love a man like me.” Thanks, Uncle Brent
