Bb G F G Bb F
Her pain is a fog that he inhales, Puts down the phone, neck suddenly stale
Bb G F Bb F
It’s just another night with a sad different song, Heard from somewhere now she sings along
F G F
Turn the car-key, back out through the driveway, He sees her face and he closes his eyes
G F
She still believes the lies
Bb G F F G F
Pretty pretty eyes with a darker tone, Another hour in front of the mirror now all the scars are shown
Bb G F
They say let’s have another toast let’s sing another song,
G
She tries but the wine is bitter and the words wrong
F F D
She still believes the lies
[Refrão]

You must be bleeding under your eyelids

One tear in the sink, swallow the next one, Now out of sight but not really gone

As the door opens I feel your sadness from across the room, And now for your beauty I’m lost for words
