Verse 1 Red lights stain your cigarette smile You say “forever” like it’s temporary Your hands know exactly where to go Your eyes never tell me what you know Chorus Velvet lies on your tongue tonight So soft I let them ruin my life Wrap me up, don’t say goodbye I’ll believe your velvet lies Verse 2 Mirror cracks when you look away I memorize the things you don’t say Every kiss’s a loaded gun But I beg you to pull the one Bridge Truth hurts worse than fantasy So lie to me carefully Final Chorus Velvet lies, I wear them proud Dancing in your fall-out cloud If loving you’s a sweet disguise Then poison me with velvet lies
