lyrics

CLOAK - Alanna


You can leave your cloak of politeness
On the hatstand in the hall
Come over here and sit beside me
On the floor
Don’t mask the truth with your questions
Like you would for strangers
Just give me an explanation
For all these subtle changes.

Put your arms around me
Tell me what you’re thinking
Cos I don’t wanna guess any more.

Don’t rinse your coffee cup in the sink
Don’t bother pushing in your chair
Don’t tell me this colour looks great on me
And don’t ask questions
That make you sound like you still care.

Just put your arms around me
Tell me what you’re thinking
Cos I don’t wanna guess any more.

I’m sick and tired of trying to read your body language
And I’m so tired of trying to read between your lines
All I know is that this doubt corroding me
Is a sure sign that things aren’t fine.

You can leave your cloak of politeness
On the hatstand in the hall.
