Perfectly Clear

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.
