Was I farther from your conscience

Standing face to the wall

I suspected there was something

That you weren't telling me

And last night I learned the reason for it all

I was looking through your window

Saw you kissing someone else

You reached up and turned my picture

Slowly face to the wall

Face to the wall so you wouldn't have to

See anything at all to make you think of me

Did the cheapness of the moment

Make you feel ashamed and small

Was I farther from your conscience

Standing face to the wall

Alone out in the darkness were

The eyes that worshipped you

As you cheated me I watched my idle fall

With your arms around another

And his lips where mine should be

Then I saw you turned

My picture slowly face to the wall

Face to the wall

So you wouldn't have to see

Anything at all to make you think of me

Did the cheapness of the moment

Make you feel ashamed and small

Was I farther from your conscience

Standing face to the wall
