Matter of Fact by Ileana Burdine

Side by side we sit alone and sign
Silent as we change our lives
I pretend not to know or see that you're there
It's my turn to lie

Matter of fact, right here please
Matter of fact, we knew
Matter of fact, I once loved you
Matter of fact, I still do

Side by side I am filled with joy and with shame
As if I'm to blame
Weighted scales and still I begin and end
As you do the same

Matter of fact, right here please
Matter of fact, we knew
Matter of fact, I once loved you
Matter of fact, I still do

Side by side were strangers now and I look away
Don't make me say
Better than it's so unfair and all that remains
Is the end of yesterday

Matter of fact, right here please
Matter of fact, we knew
Matter of fact, I once loved you
Matter of fact, I still do
Matter of fact, I still do
Matter of fact, I still do
