They're no thoughts of mine, this time
When the paint went dry, don't fight 'cause you're right
Did it pass you by, when the shower wasn't on?
You had to lie, your secret's safe and sound
Don't frown, don't frown
'Cause everybody's wearing black clothes and I'm wearing white
Don't frown, don't frown
There's your sister with her answer and she's always right
You keep pulling all the heart strings
You hide it in the cupboard
You're under the sheets
You're frowning and you know it
You're happy
The neighbours can't breathe
You're coming on strong
When your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white when we play hide and seek
And I'm not in the white when we play hide and seek
They're no thoughts of mine this time
Is your camera blind, don't fight 'cause you're right
Will it pass you by, when your sister's dead and gone?
She had to lie, her secret's safe and sound
Don't frown, don't frown
'Cause everybody's wearing black clothes and Ii'm wearing white
Don't frown, don't frown
There's your sister with her answer and she's always right
You keep pulling all the heart strings
You hide it in the cupboard
You're under the sheets
You're frowning and you know it
You're happy
The neighbours can't breathe
You're coming on strong
When your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white when we play hide and seek
You're playing in the forest
You're down on your knees
Forgetting where you're from
You're wrong
You're begging please
You're coming on strong
When your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white when we play hide and seek
And I'm not in the white when we play hide and seek
Although your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white when we play hide and seek
Although your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white when we play hide and seek
Although your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white when we play hide and seek
Although your friend went wrong
