You walk through the door with your head - held - high
Your stride keeps pace with the song in your mind
But remember everything it sings, remember all the lies
Just a tune you've made believe so you would feel alive
You wave and say hello as you look into my eyes
But when you see me hold your gaze with the hatred I can't hide
You slowly turn away and drop your head that's held - so - high
And I can't help but laugh about the times I called you mine
You try to make me jealous and tell her to come inside
And now you're back to walking with your stupid head - held - high
But when she sees me look her way, why won't she meet my eyes
Is this the girl you left me for, cause of the same thing every night
You're standing there just watching me, you see my head - held - high
Intimidation is my weapon and I meet you with a smile

So tell her that shell be alright, while you walk her through this terror
You see the pistol in my hand, she screams, you know she's scared
You take her hand and kiss her hard, then tell her that you love her
My head - held - high I can't help but smile, cause its not her I'm after

The weapon at my side I see your head aint held - so - high
Your girlfriends got a death grip on your wrist, I see her crying
Its funny how when you walked in your head was held - so - high
And now that you can't look at me, I'm finally satisfied
