Question Mark
by glennny

Answer to :
Moss Palace- The Numbers Don’t Lie
SpoilerThe Numbers Don't Lie
by Moss Palace

The train is late again
You never showed up
Yet I still pretend
You’re going to change your ways
Relieve all my doubts
One of these days

I been waiting for a sign
Or a reason that could change my mind

Been looking for the truth
But I must be blind
I keep on counting on you
But the numbers don't lie
You've broken my trust
So many times
We just don't add up
No the numbers don't lie

One hundred second chances
Still you let me down
And I’m tired of your advances
I’m done with with empty vows
Don’t say you’re sorry
You never mean it anyhow

I been waiting for a sign
Or a reason that could change my mind

Looking for the truth
But I must be blind
I keep on counting on you
But the numbers don't lie
You've broken my trust
So many times
We just don't add up
No the numbers don't lie

glennny- Question Mark

Verse One
So sorry I’m late again
Please don’t blow it out of proportion
You don’t need an apology
Or the tale of my misfortune
What have you been thinking about
Your furrowed brow is full of doubt

Pre-Chorus One
You don’t want to be with me
But you don’t want to be the bad guy
You’re digging into your dignity
I’m numb to all your number’s insights

Chorus
The sign is: I keep showing up
But my best is never good enough
My heart might start to fall apart
The oui of we is a question mark

Aside
When I was giddy on your graph
I could make you laugh

Verse Two
Your data gives you the nerve
You’re righteous with justifications
It doesn’t matter who takes the serve
I’m saddled with new stipulations
What are we now talking about
You can’t just shut our feelings down

Pre-Chorus Two
Chorus Two

Bridge
You don’t want to wait too long
I was Mr. Right
But not tonight
Don’t start this fight
You delight
In pointing out when I’m wrong

Pre-Chorus Three
you don’t want to be with me
(I need another chance)
But you don’t want to be the bad guy
(for our relation)
You’re digging into your dignity
(let’s do another dance)
I’m numb to all your number’s insights
(with this new equation)

Chorus Three

this has a lot of good in it, I particularly like the twin synth / guitar lead work. It doesn't quite stick with me like most of the other songs did though, I'm not entirely sure why but in a round where my #2 - #4 songs were separated by tiny fractions, I found it harder to make a case (to myself) for this one.
