[Verse 1]
There's a hush about a subject
In the evening when we fool ourselves
A muted lover's symphony
Lorelei, in you, discretions lay
And they're killing me

[Verse 2]
So if my life was something better
Like a hunter for his maiden
And I brought home everything I could
Would that be enough to hold you, babe?
I don't think it would, oh no

[Chorus]
Moving on gracefully, I was second best
And to see the ease in which you left, I must confess
It tore my heart in two, over you
And the hardest part was leaving too

[Verse 3]
So if you find another lover
Darling, don't run for cover
Just stand your ground, let it all fall down
But you can't be the queen of hearts, girl
Without your crown, no no

[Chorus]
Oh and moving on gracefully, I was second best
And to see the ease in which you left, I must confess
It tore my heart in two, over you
And the hardest part was leaving too

[Chorus]
Oh and moving on gracefully, I was second best
And to see the ease in which you left, I must confess
It tore my heart in two, over you
Oh, but now I'm brave enough to see the silence in
The way your eyes cast aside our promises
And I've finally found a way, to turn to you and say
That the hardest part was yesterday
