Lyrics
Don't Breathe A Word
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
