When He Shows Up, I Split

from The Workingtrans Blues by Tawni Marshall

/

lyrics

When he shows up, I split,
maybe not from where I sit,
but trust me when I tell you that I'm gone gone gone.
However I gotta sell it,
whoever I gotta be,
I can't help but get to feeling I got it wrong wrong wrong.

I can't see him from my angle,
but I hear him when I sing.
I can't point the finger at him,
even when he's fingering me.
I can't place his face though they place him
in most every place they're placing me.
I guess we're bound to cross paths whatever place I go.

When he shows up, I split.
I tell myself they're full of shit.
I try to get to feeling like they're wrong wrong wrong,
Even when they didn't mean it,
even when it was a slip,
trust me when I tell you he's never gone gone gone.

I can't see him from my angle,
but I hear him when I sing.
I can't point the finger at him,
even when he's fingering me.
I can't place his face though they place him
in most every place they're placing me.
I guess we're bound to cross paths whatever place I go.

However I gotta sell it,
whoever I gotta be,
I can't help but get to feeling I got it wrong wrong wrong.
