Some things are too painful to say out loud
Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud
Words fly through his mouth

Like paper butterflies
Well they flutter around and put holes in your side


And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you


I knew that you were thinking of him last night
'Cos I saw the blood seep down to your toes
Yes, hideaway if you must

But how can you put your trust
In a man who always sleeps in his clothes?


And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you


And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you


You're the sweet scent on an envelope
Or a phony photo in his cards
But if you pin your hopes to his back my dear

I'm afraid the bubble will burst
I'm afraid that the bubble just might burst


The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst

The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst


And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you


And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you
