There’s a hush about a subject In the evening when we fool ourselves A muted lover’s symphony Lorelei in you discretions lay and they’re killing me So if my life was something better Like a hunter for his maiden And I brought home everything I could Would that be enough to hold you, babe I don’t think it would, oh no
Moving on gracefully I was second best And to see the ease in which you left I must confess It tore my heart in two, over you And the hardest part was leaving too
So if you find another lover Darling don’t run for cover Just stand your ground, let it all fall down You can’t be the queen of hearts, girl, without your crown no no
Moving on gracefully I was second best And to see the ease in which you left I must confess It tore my heart in two, over you And the hardest part was leaving too
But now I’m brave enough to see the silence in The way your eyes cast aside our promises And I’ve finally found a way, To turn to you and say That the hardest part was yesterday
