hozier - discreet lyrics

[verse 1]
ask me again when “i want more” ends
honey, they’re waving that flag again
and lord, they’re calling the desperate men
crying out “war is peace, let the dogs off the leash”
who’ll be the stick when the drum gets beat?
i broke before hitting skin or sheet
that noise and shape of you in the street
honey, you weren’t known to be discreet
you weren’t known to be discreet

[chorus 1]
lord, how many ears have heard the lie
how many [wise off than?] you and i
how many bad dreams i’ve had at night
just to wake and find you’d kissed my eyes
honey, i’ve died as many times

[verse 2]
we’ll be asked who knew all along
who spoke out or who wrote a song
for fear of coming on too strong
honey, most were known to be discreet
what did anyone really care
for the next one they lost in there
for fear we’d upset the market share
honey, most were known to be discreet
most were known to be discreet
[chorus 2]
lord, how many ears have heard the lie
how many [?] you and i
how many bad dreams i’ve had at night
just to wake and find you’d kissed my eyes
honey, i’ve died as many times

[bridge]
when we met on the street, you were mid+road
ah, when will you know, lord, to be discreet
to your place where you bled out the radio
ah, when will you know, lord, to be discreet
mock the man as he sang you falsetto
ah, when will you know, lord, to be discreet
our love being made from a window
ah, when will you know, lord, to be discreet

[chorus 3]
how many ears have heard the lie
how many [?] you and i
how many bad dreams i’ve had at night
just to wake and find you’d kissed my eyes
honey, i’ve died as many times
