Day like today

Another day and you arrive too late
The food stands cold and the candles burned away
Your message on my phone won't tell
I was with another girl in a cheap drive-through motel

He steps through the door with his shirt untucked
Says sorry babe, the elevator at work got stuck

Lo i miss your lying ways
The sharade that kept my head on straight

Was it my mistake
That i threw you away
Now i feel like running home
To the act of crying all alone
Even a fool like you fills the hole in my heart
On a day like today

Only once my man and me walked hand in hand
That time he ran off on an errand he prettended he had

He had talked on the phone said it was from his boss
But i heard a womans voice and i swear he had his fingers crossed

Could not believe what i heard him say
Oh honey walk back home, i'll meet you half the way

Lo i miss your lying ways
The sharade that kept my head on straight
Was it my mistake
That i threw you away
Now i feel like running home
To the act of crying all alone
Even a fool like you fills the hole in my heart
On a day like today
