No one needs to know the secrets that you wrote about

No one needs to know the way you felt that Thursday night

No one needs to know

Yes it's true my dear you smoked too many cigarettes

Yes it's true my dear your work undone left you with regrets

Yes it's true my dear

And we know what we know 'cause you told us

Yes we know what we know 'cause you told us

Yes we know 'cause you told us so

You never said aloud you'd move mountains for Isabelle

You never said aloud you'd handmade a gift just for us

You never said out loud

Yes it's true my dear you couldn't keep us away from our sins

Yes it's true my dear you still did your best to save our skin

Yes it's true my dear

And we know what we know 'cause you showed us

Yes we know what we know 'cause you showed us

Yes we know 'cause you showed us so

And these paintings pain our hearts as we cross the threshold

We read the word sweets and it mocks us as we go

'Cause nothing sweet is here to endear us to the truth evermore

We'll never see you walking in from the kitchen's swinging door

And we know what we know 'cause we loved you

Yes we know what we know 'cause we loved you

Yes we know, 'cause we loved you so
