2 YEARS LESS A DAY

Met her in the spring, thought my luck had turned,
Signed my heart away before the lesson learned.
Said she needed space, just a night or two,
I was locked inside believing she’d be true.

She had pottery class every Thursday night,
Said the clay was tough, couldn’t get it right.
I waited up with her favorite wine,
Turns out I was just the fool doing time.

(Chorus)
Two years less a day, I paid for every lie,
Locked up in her love while the truth passed me by.
Thought I’d found forever, turns out it was parole,
Two years less a day — love took its toll.

“Girls’ weekend,” she said, with a wink and a grin,
While I kept the home fires quietly burning within.
The phone went dead — calls that never came,
I served my sentence in her lover’s name.

She claimed late shifts, promotions on the line,
I cooked dinner cold while watching the time.
Told me work was stress, “Don’t wait awake,”
I should’ve known freedom was her take.


(Bridge)
Now I walk out free, the calendar don’t lie,
Two years less a day and my tears ran dry.
She was the warden, I was the prey,
Love turned a sentence — 2 years less a day.

(Chorus)
Two years less a day, I paid for every lie,
Locked up in her love while the truth passed me by.
Thought I’d found forever, turns out it was parole,
Two years less a day — love took its toll.
Two years less a day, I paid for every lie,
Locked up in her love while the truth passed me by.
Thought I’d found forever, turns out it was parole,
Two years less a day — love took its toll.
