The doorway frames you
a picture perfect silhouette,
blue sky of regret
enough to hang you
Your legs seem to tremble
At least I imagine that they do
Then again, it′s probably easy for you

But please, don′t open your mouth, my dear
I can read all the signs
I can take it from here
There′s no need to explain,
It′s perfectly clear

Yellow wallpaper peels makes
a strange halo around your head
It′s funny how I notice
These stupid things instead
You say something awkward
But I wish that you wouldn′t
A whole life of You wish you could′s
but just couldn′ts

But please, don′t open your mouth, my dear
I can read all the signs
I can take it from here
There′s no need to explain,
It′s perfectly clear

So I try not to think to much
it only just makes me mad,
Spent half my life loving you
Think of all the love that I could′ve had

Five years worth of kisses
Are packed in your bags
This tiny moment fits
All the big things we ever had
And I can′t quite pinpoint
When it left or what for
Love always steps lightly
Away from the door

Please, don′t open your mouth, my dear
I can read all the signs,
I can take it from here
There′s no need to explain,
No, there′s no need to explain,
It′s perfectly clear
