He opened up his eyes
Caught his face in the mirror to see
A face that's been battered by pain
Can't see no way out
They're both trapped to a promise they made
Like the flowers that fell to one side
Scared to turn the page
That future is nothing for him
Too old to put up a fight
Can't help noticing
She started taking her lipstick to work
This is nothing but trouble
His daughters got a guy
He takes her off on his Motorbike
Which roars right into the night
Got his rock n roll
Got his face on her pillow sometimes
But Daddy don't like where he's been
Tells her he's no good
That she's better than him that's for sure
Without knowing the truth of it all
His perceptions locked down
Can't see past the leather of his coat
Causing nothing but trouble
The trouble with trust is we live among humans
Who will batter and batter you down
Don't you think it's strange to live in half truths
To live behind a fantasy
See she needs you now
You've become just a resource again
A stepping stone there for the plan
See you giving in
Give up all the dreams and succumb
Just to fall for an easier life
Knows the way to play
To play you at life's little game
And tell you what you want to hear
Through the curtain light
You see the dust floating in
This is nothing but trouble
