Silhouette Serenade

The last thing I want to do right now

Is read your stupid poetry

Why can't you just tell me

What you really want to say

You'd clear your conscience

With words so weak and empty

But something in your eyes

Gave you away

And I've been lonely

Like a silhouette or a serenade

A heart attack or a man betrayed

The arms of love are holding me

Like a silhouette or a serenade

Is this all you have to say

This broken boy would hang on every word

You tell me that you need me

While I slowly fall apart

You'd heal your heartache

With words so cool and callous

But the absence of your tears

Gave you away

And I've been lonely

Like a silhouette or a serenade

A heart attack or a man betrayed

The arms of love are holding me

Like a silhouette or a serenade

And all pretty poems have to end

So I say this before I leave

If words are your weapons

My dear I surrender, surrender

And I've been lonely

Like a silhouette or a serenade

A heart attack or a man betrayed

The arms of love are holding me to you
