Refrain

When you see me hiding and you know
My love's the quiet ghost
With no heart for it to host
An empty haunted heart for rent
Deep in the soul of someone's cemetery
Skeletons my friend

She could not have saved a broken man
So when she goes
Let her go, let her go
Hiding from the voice of reason has
Let me know
What I don't know, I don't know

Maybe then we can refrain
From using the words that make us sleep to numb the pain
We could sleep out in the rain
With only a blanket for our fortress in the wind

I cannot tell you what she stole
Maybe my heart, or just a smile, or the secrets to my soul
I never learned what lovers say
Back in my mind it goes
it goes away

She could not have saved a broken man
So when she goes
Let her go, let her go
Hiding from the voice of reason has
Let me know
What I don't know, I don't know

Maybe then we can refrain
From using the words that make us sleep to numb the pain
We could sleep out in the rain
With only a blanket for our fortress in the wind

She could not have saved a broken man
So when she goes
Let her go, let her go

Maybe then we can refrain
From using the words that make us sleep to numb the pain
We could sleep out in the rain
With only a blanket for our fortress in the wind
