The Way You Laugh

I suppose we are born from our silence But you seem to take yours with you Like a child that refuses to bloom You forced me to face all of your beauty Then turned your beauty away from yourself 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 has broken its 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 removed that bandage I will leave you all 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 Saying he'll teach you 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 wilt But I firmly believe You're a lot more like Eve As she enjoys a bit of her guilt --- The Way You Laugh - Dawes
