Read my Lips

Read my lips

Read my lips 

The answer is no

 I sign on the dotted line 

The deal is done 


Read my lips 

The answer is wait 

We drive away 

Anxiety climbs upon my back   


Read my lips 

I won’t tolerate this 

I lie awake again 

Three in the morning 

His pillow untouched   


Read my lips

 I am done 

Pack your bags 

Shut the door   


Read my lips 

Come home
