Pentimento - Clever Reason [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

On my way home
I hoped that every passing car on the road was you
Catching up to tell me something resembling the truth
But you haven't even said you're sorry yet
So instead, would you tell me this?

Did you hesitate on your way through the door?

On your way home
Did you make peace with everything that you'd done wrong
Or you decided it was my fault all along?
Did you think of me when you left the jewelry I gave you there on purpose?
As if you needed a clever reason to return

Did you hesitate on your way through the door
Or did it make you feel more alive?
Or less responsible this time for what you left behind?

And will you think of me when all the guilt builds a home in all your good days?
All your good days

Did you hesitate on your way through the door
Or did it make you feel more alive?
Or less responsible this time for what you left behind?
Did it make you feel more alive?
Did it make you feel more alive, or left behind?
