Volatile

I tried to explain to her
life is a dangerous, volatile thing
As she looked me in the eyes and said
she liked what she saw
How she was in awe
I tried to explain to her she's white
and Im black
She's middle class
Im working class
Its to much Romeo
and to much Juliet
for it to ever last
I tried to explain to her
life is a dangerous, volatile thing
As she opened up the door
and slowly let me in
As we lay down on the
bed sheet and watched the stars a-fall
As we slowly undid zippers
and he stood tall
It aint me you're looking for at all
As we lay naked in our birthday suits
and fucked away the truth
As she looked at what was once my eyes
I tried to cry away the lies
As we buttoned up the truth entangled with
the lies and made some tea
and sung some lullabies
I tried to explain to her
life is a dangerous, volatile thing
As she made plans to meet her friends
and family
as she showed me pictures
of her life before this would begin
I tried to explain to her
life is a dangerous, volatile thing
As we argued bout who would bring out the trash
to the bin
I tried to explain to her
life is a dangerous, volatile thing
As she gave me that disappointed look
and smiled with every sigh
she took
As I watched some nonsense on TV
and she opened up a book
I tried to explain to her
life is a dangerous, volatile thing
As what ever we wished to keep we better grab it fast
as we knew chances were slim this would ever last
I tried to explain to her
life is a dangerous, volatile thing
As the cheatin and the cryin did begin
as we forgot none of us could ever win
As she opened up that door and shut it
slim
as she deleted me from her sin
I tried to explain to her
life is a dangerous, volatile thing
