[Chorus] There's still a sparkle in the light From that blue dress last Friday night I loved you then, I know I lied No pretty words can make that right [Verse 1] The takeout's cold beside the chair Your folded napkin's sitting there I said, "I lied." You looked away Then asked if I'd eaten today I cleared the plates and swept the floor Found silver glitter by the door From that blue dress I wore last week You picked the pieces off your cheek [Chorus] There's still a sparkle in the light From that blue dress last Friday night I loved you then, I know I lied No pretty words can make that right And if you leave, I won't say stay I gave you reasons anyway [Verse 2] Last Friday we were running late You stole the fries right off my plate I had that glitter on my face You kissed the bits I couldn't trace At half past two, we missed the train You held my heels out in the rain And when I said, "You look a mess" You laughed and said, "Well, look who's dressed" I wish I'd stayed inside that night Where nothing felt too wrong or right But even then, behind my smile I knew I'd been lying for a while [Chorus] There's still a sparkle in the light From that blue dress last Friday night I loved you then, I know I lied No pretty words can make that right And if you leave, I won't say stay I gave you reasons anyway [Bridge] I could explain the messages The nights I never mentioned him I could explain a thousand things And still not make a single one clean You never asked for guarantees Just not to be the last to see That when I said, "It's only you" I wasn't telling you the truth I hate how easy lying gets How hard it is to live with it You were the one who trusted me And I was scared of honesty [Final Chorus] There's still a sparkle in the light From that blue dress last Friday night I loved you then, I know I lied No pretty words can make that right And if you leave, I won't say stay I gave you reasons anyway [Outro] There's glitter underneath the chair I leave it, then I hate it's there You would've laughed at what I'd done I almost called to tell you, once.
