Pretty Violet, where've you been?
I found you hurling in the bin
You know, we used to be friends
Fell in love with you one day
The sweat was dripping down your face
Your hair was longer back then
And I hadn't seen you since
And wondered where you'd been

Some things are better left unsaid

An overwhelming sense of guilt
I saw you crying in the pit
And now, you're laying on me
The band was loud, you spilled your drink
We'd talk for hours 'bout your shit
Patching all the loose ends
Ooh, how much longer 'till we're done?
Smoking cigs in my backyard
On the pillin' sofa
But we both know how this ends

I'll starve myself until you open up
I'm keeping my mouth shut
Sweeping it all underneath the rug
Until it's full of bugs

You scaled the train tracks in the dark
I can hear you're deep in thought
You left a trail of ashes
A few years later, I have not
Heard from you or anyone

There's so much I could've said to you
There's so much I could've said to you
There's so much I could've said to you
There's so much I could've said to you

Some things are better left unsaid
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
