These Silhouettes

Don't Breathe A Word

These Silhouettes


You my dear, are as dramatic as a romance
And your as sincere as a kiss at the drive-in
Don't breathe a word, it's getting cold
And I told you an hour ago 
That it's getting far to late

Just please go home
I have nothing left to say to you
You cried but you'll never see me crying
You tried but you'll never see me trying
You've gone to far across the line this time

Chorus:
Can you hear the sirens 
There calling out for you
I would have tried to save you
But on second thought

Come here sweetheart 
I'm trying to tell you something 
You are what modern poetry 
Is written all about

(If love is what your looking for)
Then why do you sleep with the lights off?

(Chorus)

Tear down the stars 
Tear down what we used to share
