Exile

Exile - Eva Cooper/Raymond Brooks

I can see you standing honey

With his arms around your body

Laughin' but the joke's not funny at all

And it took you five whole minutes

To pack us up and leave me with it

Holdin' all this love out here in the hall

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

You're not my homeland anymore

So what am I defending now

You were my town now I'm in exile seein' you out

I think I've seen this film before

Ooh ooh ooh

I can see you starin' honey

Like he's just your understudy

Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me

Second third and hundredth chances

Balancin' on breaking branches

Those eyes add insult to injury

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

I'm not your problem anymore

So who am I offending now

You were my crown now I'm in exile seein' you out

I think I've seen this film before

So I'm leaving out the side door

So step right out there is no amount

Of crying that I can do for you

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn't even hear me out

You didn't even hear me out

You never gave a warning sign

I gave so many signs

Time

I never learned to read your mind

Never learned to read my mind

I couldn't turn things around

Couldn't turn things around

'Cause you never gave a warning sign

I gave so many signs

So many signs so many signs

You didn't even see the signs

I think I've seen this film before

And I didn't like the ending

You're not my homeland anymore

So what am I defending now

You were my town now I'm in exile seein' you out

I think I've seen this film before

So I'm leavin' out the side door

So step right out there is no amount

Of crying I can do for you

All this time

We always walked a very thin line

You didn't even hear me out

Didn't even hear me out

You never gave a warning sign

I gave so many signs

I never learned to read your mind

Never learned to read my mind

I couldn't turn things around

Couldn't turn things around

'Cause you never gave a warning sign

I gave so many signs

I never learned to read your mind

So many couldn't turn things around

'Cause you never gave a warning sign

You never gave a warning sign

Ah ah
