Ex Wife - Coming Clean

I've been waiting for you, Russ, it feels like for years
The car broke down, the RAC came and brought me to tears
Where have you been, or rather, what have you done?

Just the usual Tuesday night, you know
Down at the pool, playing water polo

Do I look like an idiot? Do I look like a fool?
Spending so much time going down at the pool
I found this in the glovebox - I can barely believe it's true
Look at it, I can't see your face but I know that it's you

Can't you see? This is me.
It's in my genes, your king is queen
What's been has been, it's not obscene
I still love you but I'm coming clean

When did it start? Have you known since we met?
You started coming back, smelling funny, your hair still wet
You haven't been playing three times a week as you purport
You haven't been playing at all, at least not sport
You always came back with torn trunks, I thought it was strange
You always made excuses about it being a physical game

I've been meaning to say for so many years
I'm broke inside, living a lie, unable to function, frozen by fear
You see, I've not been straight with you and I've not be true to me
I have been playing, you've always supported me, but I can't break free
You always said do what you're good at, do what you love
But sometimes... that kind of love is never enough
You see, I like men, but I'm definitely not gay
I'm a woman inside, and it's time for a change

Can't you see? This is me.
It's in my genes, your king is queen
What's been has been, it's not obscene
I still love you but I'm coming clean

How long have you been lying in this filth?
First as a man and soon as a milf?
I thought I knew you, I want a husband not a readers wife

I know this is hard to swallow, I've been trying all my life

I thought I knew you - how many things can one person be?
It's just incredible: a coward, a liar, a cheat, a homosexual
No, not a man lover, or so you say,
You're female, 'You were born this way'
No matter what, you'll always be Russ to me
I just think you're ill, I wish you could see

Can't you see? This is me.
It's in my genes, your king is queen
What's been has been, it's not obscene
I still love you and I'm coming clean

You've got your wish - go on your little jaunts
Do whatever with whoever, however, wherever and whenever she wants
I can't be near you, I never want you back
I can't be married to a nymphomaniac
You can steer this course alone, I'm going to cut myself adrift
Clean the sheets yourself, Russ, but I don't know if the stains will shift

Can't you see? This is me.
It's in my genes, your king is queen
What's been has been, it's not obscene
I still love you and I'm coming clean
