We never say much 
Am I afraid to uncover 
what was buried long ago 
The distance 
The sadness 
Then suddenly you're close again 

You don't have to sign 
no questions asked 
I've had enough of that 
It's a game I hate to play 
The darkness 
The silence 

Young love is bitter love 
of that I'm sure 
But this time it's sweet nothings 
I offer you 

You don't have to sign 
and there'll be no questions asked 
Is it so hard to choose 
between sweet nothings 
Sweet sweet nothings 
and the blues
