Three Blind Mice

She lies in bed, rests on things unsaid,
On this cold, autumn day.
She knows she’s denying, but she don’t want this dying,
So she lies, as if there’s nothing to say.

He goes to work in his button down shirt,
Though his heart it begs him to stay.
He knows he’s denying, but he don’t want this dying
So he leaves as if, there’s nothing to say

And I go, I go, I go, I go into the gray
Where she loves in the black, and in the red she turns away
And I go, I go, I go, I go into the gray
Your just two blind mice, pretending to know the way

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

He drives his car through his hidden highway
Thinks he’ll leave his clouds behind,
He thinks he’s got her, oh she thinks that she’s smarter
But nobody knows his mind

Oh she’s confused, she don’t know what to choose,
And for this forest she’s always pined.
She thinks she knows him, oh she thinks that she owes him
But nobody knows his mind

I go, I go, I go, I go into the gray
Where she loves in the black, and in the red she turns away
And I go, I go, I go, I go into the gray
Your just two blind mice, pretending to know the way

Oh in the red, we were going to bed,
And in the blue, she hides from what’s true
In the green, I know you never say what you mean
And in the black I know I’m not going back
But in the gray I’m afraid she might stay,
Oh you’ll keep her in the blue if she stays with you

I go, I go, I go, I go into the gray
Where she loves in the black, and in the red she turns away
And I go, I go, I go, I go into the gray
We’re just three blind mice, pretending to know the way
