You hardly stir when you sleep There’s a peace inside your mind inside your dreams Though there’s two that lie beneath these sheets It might as well be three with all of the space between.
And sweetheart, behind the eyes A different lover, a stranger lies I spy awhile and then creep towards the door I said, “I love you”, though I knew I didn’t love you anymore.
I shiver when you kiss my cheek You’re mistaken that I’m smiling when I seethe Though I donned the look of a lowly sheep Inside my hunger rages trying to keep discreet.
And sweetheart, behind the eyes A different lover, a stranger lies Freedom is what hides beneath the boards I said, “I love you”, though I knew I didn’t love you anymore.
Deep in my chest, my heart is growing fond Of the idea of your absence This crime is perfect for they’d never suspect The one you loved and laid with planned it all.
And sweetheart, behind my eyes A different person, a stranger lies Grab the gun we hid beneath the floor I said, “I love you” though I knew I didn’t love you anymore.
