Not A Matter Of Pride - Mike Silver

She knows he thinks about her

Though the times are not so grand

But you can only play the cards

You are holding in your hand

She knows he thinks of leaving

Doesn't want to let him know

While there's something left unfinished

Something that she needs to know

She says let's decorate the bedroom

DIY from the superstore

But he's five cans down his six pack

Is not listening anymore

Yet she feels his heart is kinder

Than he wants to let her think

So she exercises patience

Does the dishes in the sink

Take your time

Till you decide

It's a matter of love

Not a matter of pride

When people get close

They sometimes collide

Oh how the truth

Get's turned into lies

He says I wish I had some weeks

I'd show this town a thing or two

See my woman let her hair down

Like she always wanted to

Though I'm just a weekend dreamer

Still my heart's not far away

Would she be better if I leave her

Or better if I stay

Take your time

Till you decide

It's a matter of love

Not a matter of pride

When people get close

They sometimes collide

Oh how the truth

Get's turned into lies

He doesn't want another woman

She doesn't look at other men

An affair might be exciting

Yet disappoint you in the end

They both know there's something missing

Floating just beyond their reach

In this lovers search and rescue

Will they find what they might keep

Take your time

Till you decide

It's a matter of love

Not a matter of pride

When people get close

They sometimes collide

Oh how the truth

Get's turned into lies
