The line from the movies about newspaper headlines was "read it and weep".
Can't read these lyrics and not do exactly that.
I can read your eyes just like a book You tell me different, but I know that look And I don't have to guess what's between the lines
So what in the world am I still doing here You push me away when I get too near Saying love's too simple to analyze
So why do I feel confused Why do I feel so used Like a worn-out thought you threw away It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say
Where are the windows, where are the doors? I haven't the key to your heart anymore I haven't a clue to what's gone wrong
'Cause you look at me sometimes as if I weren't there You say you're listening, but you never hear The strains of silence have grown so strong
I never wanted to doubt you But I'd be better off without you I'm no good at looking the other way It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say
So look at me one last time With eyes that still know how to shine Hold me like you won't let go But you let go anyway
No one belongs where they're not wanted You're just a ghost, and my heart is haunted When I said goodbye, you didn't even beg me to stay It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say No baby, it wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say

libertyman, this is one of the saddest songs ever written. MCC is a brilliant songwriter. It speaks to everyone who has a heart.
