Taking Sides

I see it in your eyes when the light is on Staring out into space I see it in goodbyes Just before I've gone Hoping I'll be gone for days You say that you weren't looking for someone to Come and sweep you off your feet But given that's exactly what you have done What would you have me believe The irony of course is that for many years All the many times you stressed You'd never be unfaithful to me Who now would have guessed The children aren't aware yet but I suspect Back from university Both will I imagine be taking sides One on yours the other me Ironic when you think That for many years You thought I had had an affair Yet here I stand cap in hand Somewhat the worse for wear I'm terrified of losing you that's for sure Still I understand your plight A vacuum exists when you're on your own And it needs to be put right I won't give up without a fight
