My Parents Shoot People Who Come to Dinner

[chicagolights]

Did you know she looks even more beautiful
With a broken heart?
Did you know she looks lost
At the sad parts
Of the songs we sing
Because we have nothing better to do?
Did you know they look at me
Like it was my fault
Because that’s the idea of me
They’ve got in their head?
Did you know you smile real sweet
As you tell me not to care?
Oh darling I care
More than you could know
And I don’t know
Quite exactly
Why
Sometimes things are better left unsaid
He said he hopes I told him
And I did
But I don’t think he was listening
Which happens to me all the time
That I don’t even know anymore
Did you know that she was perfect
And I could never be her?
Did you know I’m dying
To be your happiness
Then you wouldn’t have to look?
She says secrets are hard to keep
You’re hard to keep
In my line of vision
Cause baby I’m missing
Something more than he could have given me
And the distance
And the time
And the things he said that can’t be erased this time
I’m falling in like with you
You could be my favorite thing
Because love is an unspeakable word
And I’d like to be unspeakable
With you
