The last thing I wanna do right now is

read your stupid poetry

why can't you just tell me what you

really wanna 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 healed 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

Lead:

oh

oh

And all pretty poems have to end

so I say this before I leave

if words are your weapons my dear I

 surrender,

 surren - der surren-

der

silhouette or a serenade

 a heart attack or a man betrayed

 the arms of love are

holding me,

 say yeah, oh oh oh ...
