歌詞

You said my name like rain

On a glassy little lie

Your cufflink caught the candle

When you looked me in the eye

You smiled like velvet

Folded neat and black

I knew it was trouble

Still I pulled you back

And the room went quiet

When you touched my hand

Like you had a secret

You thought I'd understand

Velvet lies

Soft on my tongue

Velvet lies

And I was undone

Velvet lies

Stay with me now

Velvet lies

Until the last vow

Your coat still smells like bourbon

And a stranger's pale perfume

I left your number burning

Face down in the room

The piano kept on drifting

Through the smoke and idle signs

But every kiss you gave me

Had a stain of silver lines

And the room went quiet

When you touched my hand

Like you had a secret

You thought I'd understand

Velvet lies

Soft on my tongue

Velvet lies

And I was undone

Velvet lies

Stay with me now

Velvet lies

Until the last vow

Maybe I wanted pretty

More than I wanted true

Maybe I liked the danger

Of believing you

So play me one more measure

Let the midnight testify

I can hear the mercy

In a beautiful goodbye

Velvet lies

Soft on my tongue

Velvet lies

And I was undone

Velvet lies

Stay with me now

Velvet lies

Until the last vow

Velvet lies

Fade in the smoke

Velvet lies

And I let go
