lyrics

Somewhere in the static I thought I heard a prayer
in a room of spinning lights I squint and stumble through the glare
and Emily's so drunk she's falling down
through the smoke I see you turn around

I know you think I'm handsome, I don't care
a desperate kiss wrapped up in this luxurious despair
I've seen enough
but I can't bring myself to leave
and I can't identify with this misguided jubilee

(chorus)
I don't want to know your secrets anymore
keep 'em to yourself, I dare you
don't tell me who you are
it doesn't matter

it gets so loud that I can't tell which voices are mine
oh I get so lonely with all of you here all the time
you understand, it's got nothing to do with the lights
or your eyes
or the drink in my hand

oh she looks so good
from far away
but once you get up close you see the cracks as clear as day
I've seen enough
but I can't bring myself to leave
I just hope to god no part of you becomes a part of me

(chorus)
I don't want to know your secrets anymore
keep 'em to yourself, I mean it
don't tell me who you are
I don't care

I know you're disappointed
I don't care
