They say they'll be done in five dragging minutes, And take you to one of those bustling stores, They say they'll finally be home on time today, So you won't be there in the silence, of being alone.
 * ** Those Things they Say **
 * They say they'll spend time with you,

But what's the real story, With those things they say, Do they really mean them, Is there really a way?

They don't spend time with you, Or lovingly tuck you into bed; They're just clicking, and typing, And working all day.

They don't have time to go with you, Into that brisk, cool air, They'll only keep an eye on you With the other eye on their computer screen, There's no other way they could bare.

They won't keep their devoted promises, Or come home on time. They'll just go on forgetting, Forgetting their crimes. They'll just go on forgetting, Forgetting those things they say, Day by day.

But there’s that unconditional love; That passion for their kin That makes them click and type, And makes us forgive their sin. An unconditional love; that passion for their kin. That makes it all about…

All about those things they say. ||
