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 ...
