You say the most with silence, Like a foreign moving picture. Hiding from the sunlight, A blue umbrella as your stricture. But there comes a time, When the hourglass is inverted. And in those times, The temperament of your mind becomes perverted. And in those times your eyes grow wide, With a thousand untold crimes. Your tongue sticks back inside your throat, And gurgles rancid rhymes. Any thoughts of rationality, Are sucked into the yawn, Of the void where all the darkness goes, To escape the crack of dawn. Any thoughts of rationality, Are sucked into the yawn, Of the void where all the darkness goes, To escape the crack of dawn.

Sudden clarity blurs your vision, As you stumble out the car (stumble out the car). I would wonder not long later How you'd managed to get that far (managed to get that far). All the fun you'd thought you'd had, All the good times that drove you mad (good times that drove you mad), All the memories you pretended were kind, With the truth it'd all unwind. The signs had all been accounted for (all been accounted for), But baby, maybe they were too hard to bear (maybe they were too hard to bear). If someone else could have told you, took your shoulders to hold you, Would you've listened to their earnest beware? I can't stand to see you hate me, Wait see how your love turned to despair (love turns to despair), And drifts further and further in the air? In your heart there lay a parking spot, Reserved for me to stay (reserved for me to stay). Just imagine my reaction When you towed my car away (towed my car away). All the laughter was for naught, Cast aside without a thought (cast aside without a thought). All the merriment we'd wrought, Return to sender, And might as well have not been bought. The signs had all been accounted for (all been accounted for), But baby, maybe they were too hard to bear (maybe they were too hard to bear). If someone else could have told you, took your shoulders to hold you, Would you've heeded their earnest beware? I can't stand to see you hate me, Wait see how your love turned to despair (love turns to despair), And drifts further and further in the air? And drifts further and further in the air, And drifts further and further in the air. Further and further in the air.

All adored me, long ago. Cheered and revered me, a warming glow. But no one stayed for the duration of the show. Left to wait out an insipid game, And you won't remember my name. Spoke so fondly of me to my face (to my face). Words long swept away without a trace (without a trace). Someday you'll long once more for my embrace (for my embrace). Unable to rekindle the same sort of flame, And you won't remember my name. There are no words for the way that you look skyward, trying to recall my name. You won't remember my name. You won't remember my name. You won't remember my name. You won't remember my name. Acted like I was just a magic trick, That they could make disappear, and reappear with a flick (reappear with a flick). I followed along, led by the hope and the joy, That they had promised me then, with all their cunning and coy (with all their cunning and coy). I wouldn't believe that I was being led on, I didn't wake up until the dreams were all gone (till the dreams were all gone). But I've got to ask, am I really to blame, Now that you've come crawling back, Begging me for my name. (You won't remember my name) There are no words for the way that you look skyward, Trying to recall the name you've lost. (You won't remember my name) Cast off with no warning, you set my hopes burning, And now you've waited too long. You won't remember my name (you won't remember my name). You won't remember my name (you won't remember my name). You won't remember my name (you won't remember my name). You won't remember my name. I have learned, as time has passed, That nothing good ever stays to last (stays to last). If good ever tries, to come back again (come back again), It can only lead to senseless pain, Once again. Spoke so fondly of me to my face, Words long swept away without a trace (without a trace). Someday you'll long once more for my embrace, Unable to rekindle the same sort of flame, And you won't remember my name. You won't remember my name. (You won't remember my name) There are no words for the way that you look skyward, Trying to recall the name you've lost. (You won't remember my name) Cast off with no warning, you set my hopes burning, And now you've waited too long. You won't remember my name (you won't remember my name). You won't remember my name (you won't remember my name). You won't remember my name (you won't remember my name). You won't remember my name.
