The doorway frames

You a perfect picture silouette

Blue sky of regret

Enough to hang out

Your legs seemed to tremble

At least I imagine that they do

Then again, it's probably easy For you



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



The yellow wall paper peels

A strange halo around your head

It's funny how you 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't



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



I try not to fight too much

It only just makes me mad

Spent half my life loving you

Think of all the love that I could have had



Five years of kisses

Packed in my bags

And this tiny moment fits

All the big things we ever had

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 Hell I've known you for years

There's no need to explain

No there's no need to explain

There's no need to explain

It's perfectly clear
