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
