Hear Us

When you were with him, we were standing back
We let you wear dark make-up and dress in black
As long as you were smiling we set aside our hate
We liked that smile too much to set you straight

He was never who you thought he was
You have no idea what he does
He goes out at night, pretending he's alone
Rents a hotel room and wears cheap cologne

We knew you deserved a better man the day this began
But the years went by and you set us aside
So now we could only watch and wait
For you to get back from another date

We could only stand back and prepare to break your fall
We told you he only wanted a pretty doll
Today- he didn't show to take his vow
So now- will you hear us now?

He was never who you thought he was
You have no idea what he does
He goes out at night, pretending he's alone
Rents a hotel room and wears cheap cologne

He was never who you thought he was
You have no idea what he does
I saw him kissing that Barbie-doll skank
Too drunk to notice the things he drank

Led her to his rented hotel room
Drunk on alcohol and her sweet perfume
Didn't even think about his wife-to-be
You were only a trophy, don't you see?

And we've been waiting years for you
To see our words were really true
Do you see us now?
Will you believe us now?

I saw him kissing that Barbie-doll skank
Too drunk to notice the things he drank
Led her to rented his hotel room
Drunk on alcohol and her sweet perfume

He was never who you thought he was
You have no idea what he does
Three years he's been sneaking out late at night
Slipping in the house when the sky gets light

Every night, he has a different girl and a fling
Never thinks about his engagement ring
Is back at the house before you know he's gone
And each day you'd think that nothing was wrong

He was never who you thought he was
You have no idea what he does
He goes out at night, pretending he's alone
Rents a hotel room and wears cheap cologne
I saw him kissing that Barbie-doll skank
Too drunk to notice the things he drank
Led her to rented his hotel room
Drunk on alcohol and her sweet perfume

So now- will you hear us now?
