Long Time Secret Lover

Constance says she's not ashamed it's just easier this way
This relationship's on the rocks cus we're always wrecked
It takes more than one great night to write a classic story
We weren't always strangers, in your last life you were Juliette
I was jealous of the sins accumulated with him
Turned out I got a sister, I wished for a brother
You're my best friend's long time secret lover

My finger's on the pulse of the death of society
Dylan's so well read these days he just plays Trivial Pursuit
There's whispers going round all of China what we did last night
Climbing through my window, pulling down my curtains with your boots
We're making love, the sex police appear outside
Please hide outside the back door in the snow in your birthday suit
The tyrant tried himself as an old man for his war crimes
You can tell so much about a person by the way they leave you
You are creeping by the moon
To each other's rooms
But we all know where you are
In our house of pornagraphic cards
Love's the only force can make an enemy a friend
You went out with Aaron and brought home Caleb instead
Turned out it was your fate to relate to another
You're my best friend's long time secret lover

Your other words for love were easy and convenient
I felt I didn't fit in, I was from outer space
I thought I could adjust to polygamy, well I can't
I'm a fully paid up functioning member of the human race
We were drinking to my health
Not knowing my kidneys had failed
I was talking, I didn't think
What the listener would think
No one berated me until they discovered
You're my best friend's long time secret lover
