WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED

Words & Music by Robert McKean

I wouldn't be surprised
If everybody smiled
When they see what you have done

I tried to be your friend
But you blew it once again
And now you’re on the run
 
I can hear your lies
But I can see your eyes
Are filled with fear

I can hear your voice
But evil is a choice
I can't forgive you now
Anyhow...

========================

Maybe it’s me 
Projecting on you
I might not disagree

But don’t forget to mention
You stated your intention 
Your lies won’t set you free

You’re fading from my heart
I know we’ve grown apart
And I can’t remember how 

Put away the plate honey
I’ll be home late
And I’m searching for a way
To find you now
To find you now

=======  Interlude  ========

Wouldn’t it be great 
If everything you hated
Simply disappeared

Things you never wanted
Everything that’s haunted
You for all these years

I wouldn’t disagree
If it were up to me
But I know that’s behind me now

Keep your eyes closed
Always know that you know
And I’ll never let you down
I need you now
I need you now

========================

I feel like a priest 
Standing on the last beach
And I’ve got no flocks to lead

But even if they’re gone
I can hold on
I know exactly what I need 
I know exactly what I need

I feel like a Christ
Holding out for my price
And my cross is my despair

The fate of mankind
Is never far from my mind
But sometimes I don’t even care
I need you now
Anyhow...
