Testo Office Love Pretty Things
It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly
The morning screamed, neath the trafficâs feet
The razor burned commuters reflections
It didnât seem a visual treat.
The office staff begin the humdrum
Making the hours and the money flow.
The guilty lovers keep their secret
And hope it doesnât show.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
He catches the train up every morning
From his croyden executive estate
Heâs convinced he needs a new future
But sheâs prepared to wait
He swears to step cleanly from a marriage
Thatâs become so tangled and confused
She knows heâs lying for his pleasures
He doesnât see her cry.
He doesnât see her die.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
She goes home, knowing that it canât go on
Her secret fears become too strong
Seeing what little love she has sheâs losing
Heâs the type that manages to sleep at night
The guilt is safely locked away
But it was just another day, and heâs so tired.
Her heart seemed set on destruction
With lips drawn pale and thin
She offered up love like a sacrifice
And he was closing in.
Her mother sat on the end of the bed
Through the dark hours of the night
Wagging her finger saying honey
This just isnât right.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
