If you refuse to tell me why
You found it hard to sleep last night
I'll just read between the lines
If I'm wrong or if I'm right
If you'd open up your heart
Or if you don't
I'll continue to walk the murder mile

Well you would tell me on the phone
That your day was fine and well
But you'd be back home late
Would I speculate or wait?
Wondering what is on your mind
That I don't know
I'll continue to walk the murder mile

Oh, sirens of silence
Oh, sirens of silence
Oh, sirens of silence

I saw the suitcase on the bed
In the room that we once shared
Are our secrets left to die?
It's not as though I thought you'd stay
But I kind of wished you'd want to hold me tight
But you leave me to walk the murder mile

Last night I cried myself to sleep
Remembering everyone who said to me, don't get too deep
But to me you were the man
With the strength to take me through the murder mile
Now you leave me to walk alone

Unless you talk I'm left unwise
I go to read between the lines
I speculate your every move
Two and two make five you know,
I'm well behind

Oh, sirens of silence
Oh, sirens of silence
Oh, sirens of silence
Now you leave me to walk alo
