The Neighbours Can’t Breathe Lyrics

They're no thoughts of mine this time
When the paint went dry, don't fight 'cause you're right

Did it pass you by
When the shower wasn't on
You had to lie
Your secret's safe and sound

Don't frown
Don't frown
'Cause everybody's wearing black clothes
And I'm wearing white
Don't frown
Don't frown
And there's your sister with her answer
And she's always right

You keep pulling all the heart strings

You hide it in the cupboard
You're under the sheets
You're frowning and you know it
You're happy the neighbours can't breathe
You're coming on strong
When your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white
When we play hide and seek
I'm not in the white
When we play hide and seek

They're no thoughts of mine this time
Is your camera blind, don't fight 'cause you're right

Will it pass you by
When your sister's dead and gone
She had to lie
Her secret's safe and sound

Don't frown
Don't frown
'Cause everybody's wearing black clothes
And I'm wearing white
Don't frown
Don't frown
And there's your sister with her answer
And she's always right

You keep pulling all the heart strings

You hide it in the cupboard
You're under the sheets
You're frowning and you know it
You're happy the neighbours can't breathe
You're coming on strong
When your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white
When we play hide and seek

You're playing in the forest
You're down on your knees
Forgetting where you're from
You're wrong, you're begging please

You're coming on strong
When your friend went wrong

And I'm not in the white
When we play hide and seek
I'm not in the white
When we play hide and seek

Although your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white
When we play hide and seek
Although your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white
When we play hide and seek
Although your friend went wrong
And I'm not in the white
When we play hide and seek
Although your friend went wrong
