The Work Of Art Lyrics - The Boxmasters

A heavy feeling creeps through my bones 

As I get out of the car and close the door 

I think back to your voice on the phone 

My blood starts to cause my ears to roar 

The back door screen is slightly ajar 

And I walk into the kitchen for a beer 

I look up in the doorway and there you are 

And your face tells me there's been someone else here 

The way you smell, the way you sway 

The way your eyes just drift away 

The way the pain strangles my heart 

I have no doubt this was the work of art 

How can you disrespect me so? 

You barely even hide your secret sin 

It seems you wouldn't want me to know 

Or maybe you just think that I'm that dim 

I see the pack of Lucky's he forgot 

When he's around you have a different smile 

You may think I'm love blind but I'm not 

Don't think that I don't know my best friend's style 

The way he plays, the game he plays 

The way he takes your breath away 

The way he painted us apart 

I have no doubt this was the work of art 

The way you smell, the way you sway 

The way your eyes just drift away 

The way the pain strangles my heart 

I know that this had to be old art 

You can't hide this precious work of art
