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
