When Did You?

Julian Austin/Stephen Robichaud

You say you want your freedom

Well that’s news to me

How long has it been like this

How long have you felt this way

Was it something I did

Or something I said

It must’ve been hard sleeping in our bed

How long have you been a stranger to me

But when did you start

Pretending to love me

When did you stop thinking of me

How long have I lived with the lies

How long have you lived with the truth

And when did you start

Not wanting to hold me

When did you stop feeling so lonely

When did you start to stop me from knowing you

I guess that explains the late nights

That you’ve been keeping

And those out of town trips with work

That last all week

And those late night calls

When I’d pick up the phone

No one would answer I should’ve known

Looks like we’re strangers again

Like the very first time

But when did you start

Pretending to love me

When did you stop thinking of me

How long have I lived with the lies

How long have you lived with the truth

And when did you start

Not wanting to hold me

When did you stop feeling so lonely

When did you start to stop me from knowing you

Oh girl when did you start to stop me from knowing you
