thank you Lennon for the inspiration in title and thought
You're a cool chick, a good person
Well, that's what I used to think
And the others still do, hey what if they knew
How low you are willing to sink
They smile at your holiday pictures
Sweet little castles in sand
The truth is for almost a year now
You've been loving another man
Now I don't believe in monogamy
For me it just doesn't work
But I happen to know that your husband does
And that you guys got married in church
So three hundred days of deception
That's a pretty big secret to keep
You seem to be doing real well so far
And I wonder, how do you sleep?
You can only meet him in daylight
Reality's limits are cruel
So you love your few hours of passion, and then...
...you go pick up your kids from school.
Now maybe I'm really old-fashioned here
but moral's important to me
I believe in keeping promises, truth and honesty, decency
And you're not making love here, you're making deceit
You're trampling on love and you're making it cheap
Try and think of it that way the next time you meet
and then tell me, how do you sleep?
And how many lies to your husband
has almost a year made you tell?
Has it only been lies to your husband?
Have you lied to your children as well?
See, the thing is, you're dealing in poison
when you're harbouring secrets this deep
When you let poison in, it will change you within
Someone else in the mirror will be wearing your skin
And you'll see nothing there honest, or caring, or sweet
And then, honey - how will you sleep?
