Is That Alright?

I didn't want to say yes but

I thought it'd hurt you more to turn you down

And I never really stuck up for you

Though it was fun having you around

Is that alright, dear?

Is that alright, dear?

Those girls could be so cruel with jokes

It was nice when I wasn't the subject

But when they turned their words toward you

I barely did a damned thing to object

Is that alright, dear?

Is that alright, dear?

I wrapped my secrets up in lies

And let them make me distant and thin-skinned

Aloofness was the final straw

You asked me if we should perhaps abscind

It's not alright, dear

It's not alright, dear

Ain't no excuse for being vile

Wish I could give a real apology

I hear you've got a husband now

I hope that he's a lot better than me
