Velvet Lies
Velvet Lies: Embracing Illusions of Love in David Lee Murphy's Melody
Lyrics
You give to me
You provide affection to me
A kiss and a whisper
A kiss and a soft spoken message
My love is all you'll ever want
Assuring that my love is all you desire
And I've told myself
I've convinced myself
I shouldn't listen
I shouldn't pay attention
'Cause some words are said and then they're gone
Because words are spoken but fleeting
And those velvet lies
Referring to deceptive sweet lies
On your lips tonight
Present on your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in
Tempting and easy to believe in
And I know this time
Acknowledging the current situation
That my hands are tied
Feeling powerless or constrained
With those velvet lies
Tied with the allure of those deceptive lies
So soft and warm
Describing the lies as gentle and comforting
Well I can't help thinking
Reflecting on the possibility of a perpetual bliss
It could always be like this
Realizing that it's a fleeting fantasy
But I know the truth
Acknowledging that the truth is patiently waiting
Is somewhere waiting
And you know I can't resist
Admitting inability to resist the lies
And those velvet lies
Referring again to the enchanting lies
On your lips tonight
Present on your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in
Continuing to be tempting and believable
And I know this time
That my hands are tied
Acknowledging the constraint once more
With those velvet lies
Tied with the seductive lies
And those velvet lies
Reiteration of the captivating lies
On your lips tonight
Present on your lips tonight
Would be so easy to believe in
Remains alluring and easy to believe in
And I know this time
That my hands are tied
Acknowledging the helplessness once more
With those velvet lies
Tied with the enchantment of those lies
