The Other Side Of You
This song came about after I heard someone describing how he had really been caught on the blind side when his wife announced that she was leaving him. "You just mustn't get complacent", he said, "I thought everything was fine ..."
You really caught me on my blind side
When you told me that our love had died
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry
I saw the other side of you
Chorus
I thought that I knew you
I thought our love was true
I thought that I knew you
But now I’ve seen the other side of you
With the years passed by and the children gone
I didn’t think anything could go wrong
Your words blew my world apart like a bomb
When I saw the other side of you
chorus
I asked you why, but it was too late
You told me still waters just stagnate
And that your new lover was your new soulmate
He’d seen the other side of you
chorus
You were laughing as you walked out the door
You threw down your ring and it bounced on the floor
You said you didn’t need it anymore
It was the other side of you
chorus
Your solicitor’s letter arrived today
I didn’t read it I knew what it would say
With a heavy heart I pushed it away
It was the other side of you
chorus
