The Way You Laugh

I suppose we are born from our silence
 But you seem to take yours with you
 You treat all of your love as defiance
 Like a child who refuses to bloom
 You forced me to face all of your beauty
 That turned your beauty away from yourself
 All this road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here
 But doesn't seem to go anywhere else
 And your heart rests in your chest like a charm 'round your neck
 That you couldn't find words to refuse
 And this high horse you ride it is broken in stride
 As it leads us through worlds built for you
 ♪
 So walk with me a little bit further
 So I can find the tenderness you keep inside
 God made you with a taste for the madness in love
 But you confuse your gift with your pride
 And I can't help you with removing that bandage
 I will leave you to yourself while you heal
 As I'm learning time is a language
 And it's the best way to explain how I feel
 And while the magician you meet sweeps you off your feet
 Say he'll teach you his tricks all for free
 I'll be in the way that you laugh
 As he cuts you in half and holds you up for the crowds all to see
 ♪
 So forgive me for feeling so strongly
 But I feel like we can finally agree
 That true lovers always end up lonely
 'Cause they know how good it could be
 I've heard the men in your wake describe you as a snake
 As you slip away when they start to welt
 But I firmly believe you're a lot more like Eve
 As she enjoys a bit of her guilt
