Words between us shift like sand You speak in puzzles just because you can A half-smile, then a sideways cue Warm violin traces the melody I knew Guess we’re the clever kind of heartbreak Running circles ’round the choices we make Catching hints that we never quite say Two sharp minds trying not to break Guess we’re the clever kind of heartbreak Hiding truth in wordplay's wake You loved a question with no end I loved pretending I could comprehend Your theories folding into mine Bass warms up, pushing rhythm down the line Guess we’re the clever kind of heartbreak Running circles ’round the choices we make Catching hints that we never quite say Two sharp minds trying not to break Guess we’re the clever kind of heartbreak Hiding truth in wordplay's wake Maybe love was simpler than the way we framed the scene Not a riddle, not a thesis - just the spaces in between Strings bloom wide, glowing like a rising dawn The groove falls back, then pushes strong Guess we’re the clever kind of heartbreak Solving puzzles that we didn’t need to make Falling into meanings we’d over-explain Two smart hearts outrunning the pain Guess we’re the clever kind of heartbreak But even genius leaves a trace The clever kind… We were the clever kind of heartbreak
