[Verse 1] Silk on the hanger Pearls in their box Portraits of ancestors Watching the clock I pour the good red Let it breathe like I do Straighten my posture While I come undone for you [Chorus] You are my sinful secret Bruise under diamond skin I open the side door Breathing Let the wrong man walk right in You taste like every warning I was raised to rise above But I bow in the dark Defeated To this unforbidden love [Verse 2] Your name is a rumor Hushed over crystal and steak They say you burn empires For the thrill of the blaze you make Yet your hands learn my manners Tracing every careful lie Gentle on the buttons Ruthless on my pride [Chorus] You are my sinful secret Bruise under diamond skin I open the side door Breathing Let the wrong man walk right in You taste like every warning I was raised to rise above But I bow in the dark Defeated To this unforbidden love [Bridge] If they saw your coat On the back of my chair If they smelt your cologne Hung heavy in my hair (oh) Would they call it madness Or a fall from grace While I press my holy To your unrepentant face [Chorus] You are my sinful secret Bruise under diamond skin I open the side door Shaking Let the wrong man walk right in You taste like every warning I was raised to rise above Still I cling to your danger Breathless And I’ll never give you up I’ll be their perfect lady Grieving For this unforbidden love
