Brittle little smile Pretty petrol eyes We keep our shadows locked up here inside Try not to offend or to disappoint them Write them letters you'll never send Oh, they stay in shadows, all the heartbreakers Oh, they stay in shadows, all the troublemakers It’s always the quiet ones And don’t show that you’re hurt You won’t be the first To hide the bruises there under your shirt Oh, and your secret’s safe with me So admit your complicity You write them words that they will never read Oh, they stay in shadows, all the heartbreakers Oh, they stay in shadows, all the troublemakers It’s always the quiet ones
