Lyrics
A Civilized Affair
Where's the harm in going out
And staying far too late
It's not like someone's waiting up
Or weighing out their fate
And when you say you've called it off
You know it isn't true
You can't believe that someone's hurt
When that someone isn't you...
It's a civilized affair
It's a sympathetic stare
It's a castle in thin air
And it's the end...
Secret sends to online friends
Until the secret's out
It all becomes so yesterday
As future turns to doubt
The photographs, the picture frames,
The little odds and ends
Bent and frayed, they're all betrayed
Well, c'est la vie, my friend...
So long, bye bye...
It's a civilized affair
It's a sympathetic stare
It's a castle in thin air
It's a face that isn't there
It's a civilized affair
And it's the end...
