but, oh no

You say i'm the safe place you go when you're weak,
what makes you belive i'm so strong?
Even the rocks have secrets they don't speak
and stones bleed when everyone is gone

but oh no, you have no idea.

My stubborn lips and indifferent eyes,
the only part i'll let you see,
while you moan about those unfaithful guys,
each one is better than me

but oh no, you have no idea.

i wrote a letter on tatty brown pages
in a notebook i closed like my mouth.
When like me they've been her for ages
they'll start looking for a way out.
i might tear out that note and throw it in the fire,
i may throw myself in too,
and you'll watch the smoke rise higher and higher
taking me away from you

but, oh no, you'll have no idea.

Or perhaps i'll take that secret from the book where it's sealed
and slip it through your front door
where untill it's secret is revealed,
it will wait upon your porch floor

and you'll say oh no, i had no idea.
But it doesn't change a thing, oh not one thing.
i could never change a thing!
