Secondhand Lovers Lyrics
I want to trace your scars with my fingertips
Want to follow it's fracturing line
I think you should know
How beautiful and brave you already are
So sick of Secondhand Lovers carving names on my chest
If I lean in too close, it's to kiss or confess
Promise you won't let on, and I won't let you down.
But you're a silent film, all the way back home
So alone.
And I'm a mockingbird who's just lost his voice
Did you tell?
So sick of Secondhand Lovers carving names on my chest
If I lean in too close, it's to kiss or confess
Promise you won't let on, and I won't let you down.
If my eyes can talk, then they are betraying me now
With whispers sad and soft, they say I'm falling, falling
This is impossible. There's nothing here for us
If you don't let on, then I won't let you down.
If you don't let on, then I won't...
So sick of Secondhand Lovers carving names on my chest
If I lean in too close, it's to kiss or confess
Promise you won't let on, and I won't let you down.
Want to follow it's fracturing line
I think you should know
How beautiful and brave you already are
If I lean in too close, it's to kiss or confess
Promise you won't let on, and I won't let you down.
So alone.
And I'm a mockingbird who's just lost his voice
Did you tell?
If I lean in too close, it's to kiss or confess
Promise you won't let on, and I won't let you down.
With whispers sad and soft, they say I'm falling, falling
This is impossible. There's nothing here for us
If you don't let on, then I won't...
If I lean in too close, it's to kiss or confess
Promise you won't let on, and I won't let you down.

This song is amazing. It makes me shake. I think it's all about knowing something is set up for failure but holding onto it regardless. Two people who are both so irreversibly hurt that they can't help but collide.
Wow, I think you're right. I think its about clinging to a bad relationship and willfully blinding yourself to how doomed it is. "If you don't let on, then I won't let you down."
most amazing song ever! i love the title "Secondhand Lovers"
When I heard the title, I thought of secondhand smoke.I think that the song is about him falling in love with somebody who is already in a realtionship with somebody else. "If I lean in too close, it's to kiss or confess" "And I'm a mockingbird who's just lost his voice Did you tell?"
