"A Question Unasked (I Deserve Better Than This)"

by Joseph McCombs

You fell for me a long, long time ago
Yeah, but somehow you pulled yourself out of that hole
Change overcame, like it always does
All you said was "I'm not the man I was."

So tell me -- What kind of man does this:
Pretends to the world his lover did not exist?
          So will you tell your friends about your boy on the side
          Or was I just a mistake that it's easier to hide?
          Was I just an experience to check off your list?
          'Cause you know that I deserve better than this.

The rumor's started going around
You've got a new girl now, thinking 'bout settling down
Does she know that you have a past
Or do you pray it stays a question unasked?

I ask you -- What kind of man hides the truth
Or passes off love as indiscretions of youth?

          So will you tell your kids about the man who loved you?
          Maybe someday I'll learn to regret it too
          'Cause you've left me as an uncle with a Judas kiss
          And you know that I deserve better than this.

You fell for me a long, long time ago
Yeah, but somehow you pulled yourself out of that hole.
