Lyrics
A sour look
A blue rose on a red dress
Coded words, half-truths and lies
Your private book
Speaks of broken dreams and excess
Things you don't say reflect in your eyes.
You hid your days within those pages
You hoped no-one would find
A passport to your future,
A quiet life, a quiet mind
Wishes and your dreams
No-one ever saw
Living by your rules
And loving was your law
You hid your days within those pages
You hoped no-one would find
A passport to your future,
A quiet life, a quiet mind
A law that once was broken
In a way you didn’t intend
He said he was your lover
All he ever was, a friend
