歌詞

I got here late

The room was half asleep

Your coat was on the chair

Your lie was in your drink

The piano kept going

Like it knew your name

I watched the silver spoon

Turn circles in the cream

You said you’d tell me soon

You said it twice before

The drummer brushed the night

And I stayed by the door

The piano played too long

Too long for truth to hide

The piano played too long

And it broke me from inside

I kept my eyes on you

You kept your mouth shut tight

The piano played too long

In that old hotel light

A couple by the window

Laughed into their gin

The glass on my table

Held a pale pink skin

You stared at the rain trace

Running down the pane

I knew that silence

Was just another name

For what we let survive

For what we leave unspoken

The man at the keys kept on

And every word stayed broken

The piano played too long

Too long for truth to hide

The piano played too long

And it broke me from inside

I kept my eyes on you

You kept your mouth shut tight

The piano played too long

In that old hotel light

You reached for my hand

Then let it go again

The last note hung above us

Like a door that wouldn’t bend

So I put down my glass

And I stood in place

If love had one more chance

It was hiding in your face

The piano played too long

Too long for truth to hide

The piano played too long

And it broke me from inside

I kept my eyes on you

You kept your mouth shut tight

The piano played too long

In that old hotel light
