Verse 2 (same riff as the first one)
I took off my glasses while you were yelling at me once,
more than once
So's not to see you see me react
Should've put em, should've put em on again
So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back
Bridge:

Belied your fort of lace
It's by the grace of me you never learned what I could see
