I shared a secret
One that you could never keep
And how you just breathe it

To everyone that you ever meet
And when I heard it
Second hand, so to speak

I saw that I was someone else
And you became just someone else


And all of the stories
How they just flow right out of your mouth
Now all of their glory

Was not enough to go around
If they're all hungry
Yeah, they're only mouths to feed

And you can all say no
No, I could never say no


[Chorus]
But now the writing's on our walls
As the curtains take their call

And we slip through the seams, through the inbetween
Of a truth and a lie, of a God and a sky
Of a widow and bride, of you and I


So bury your weakness
And chew the marrow from the bone

Keep yourself a secret
From all of those who've always known
It's been revealing

Ignore your skin as it peels away
It's been revealing
What you could never begin to explain


[Chorus]
There's the writing on our walls

As the curtains take their call
And we slip through the seams, through the inbetween
Of a truth and a lie, of a God and a sky

Of a widow and bride, of you and I

I won't let it happen again

I won't let it happen again
I won't let it happen again
I won't let it happen again

I won't let it happen again
I won't let it happen again
