Parenthetical Girls - Curtains lyrics

Under a sky of patent leather
Together just one last night

And when it's time, just remember
That these were your reasons why

A slap on the wrist
There are fates worse than this
Though none that spring to mind

If you close your eyes and think it over
It's better we said goodbye

And let's not talk of love
Exhausted by the thought as
If love was enough enough

I held my breath you held my interest
Mysterious marks round my chest

And when it comes, I will miss this
From navel to neck

I pursed my lips, you kept my secret
Enough hope to hang us both with

Then in the end we begged forgiveness
And they left us for dead

So let's not speak of love
Or make believe we're more than
The parts of the sum the sum

Dearly departed, look what we started
Let it go, let it go
They looked at you sideways
Always the bridesmaids let it go, let it go
Who rubbed you the wrong way
Who fell in the first place
Let it go, let it go
Who payed for the privilege
And who fell to pieces let it go, let it go

And let's not talk of love
Exhausted by the thought wasn't love enough?
Enough
