"Half In Love With Elizabeth" Lyrics

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you.

Some things are too painful to say out loud
Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud
Words fly from his mouth
Like paper butterflies
They flutter around and burn holes in your side

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you.

I knew that you were thinking of him last night
Cause I saw the blood seep down to your toes
Turn away if you must
But how can you put your trust
In a man who always sleeps in his clothes?

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you.

Yes, he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you.

You're the sweet scent on an envelope
Or the photo in its purse
But if you pin your hopes to his back my dear
I'm afraid the bubble will burst

The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you.

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you.

Yes he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you.
