It's not about the crime but the cover-up
So I'll keep the covers up to my neck with my eyes shut
It's all I have left to save
And I painted the most beautiful picture on the back of my eyelids
just in case I miss her enough
I will close them and I will see

I'm sweating bullets
I never thought that I could pull this wool over your eyes
Cause you and I both know that we weren't ones for this disguise
Keep the lights down low
Don't show your fear They won't hear
Well is it worth this?
Well tell me what do you do when there's nothing left?

It's not about the crime but the cover-up
So I'll keep the covers up to my neck with my eyes shut
It's all I have left to save
And I painted the most beautiful picture on the back of my eyelids
just in case I miss her enough
I will close them and I will see

Don't try to catch me Don't try to find me
You know I'm always hiding
You won't see me, better listen for my breathing
Don't try to catch me Don't try to find me
You know I'm always hiding
better listen for the beating of the heart we know we both share
Don't be scared You know that's my job
Well tell me what do you when there's nothing there?

It's not about the crime but the cover-up
So I'll keep the covers up to my neck with my eyes shut
It's all I have left to save
And I painted the most beautiful picture on the back of my eyelids
just in case I miss her enough
I will close them and I will see

It's always something but it's never what we wanted
cause there's nothing more deceiving than the lives were leaving
Nothing worse than seeing all the faith you put in

It's not about the crime but the cover-up
So I'll keep the covers up to my neck with my eyes shut
It's all I have left to save
And I painted the most beautiful picture on the back of my eyelids
just in case I miss her enough
I will close them and I will see

It's always something but it's never what we wanted to be
It's always something but it's never what we wanted to be
