Lyrics

I saw you standing all alone across the crowded room
I didn't think that I would see you soon and you, you don't move

You wear your whole life there in circles underneath your eyes
All I need to know is how to read between the lines
But you somehow hide it all

I watched you spill your drink and laugh you're such a drama queen
You always look so good when you wear black and green
But you, you're not fooling anyone

It was crowded but I knew that you were close
I don't think I like this little game of cat and mouse
But you, you don't show

It was almost 3 o'clock when you walked up to me
I started to but found that I just could not speak
But you, you looked so prepared

You said something and I didn't know what it was
I watched your lips move but your voice wasn't loud enough
So I just smiled and nodded that's when you decided to just walk, walk away

I got this overwhelming feeling like there's something wrong
Maybe it's the lighting or this same old song, but it's just all in my mind
I watched you walk across the room and then you disappeared
I lost you in the crowd beneath the chandelier, and they, they don't care

You were on the terrace in the rain
I asked you if you would come back in, but you just sighed
I could tell that you were crying
By the way the mascara ran down your face in such tragic lines

You said something and I didn't know what it was
I think that you sounded like you were a little drunk
So I looked over your shoulder that's when you said
I told you so and just walked, walked away

I could tell that you were crying, by the way
Mascara ran down your face
In such tragic lines

You said something and I didn't know what it was
Something about how you tried but you're giving up
So I leaned in for a kiss that's when you said
I can't do this and just walked, walked away
