You came dressed in midnight
With a smile like loaded steel
Every word was velvet
Every touch was never real
I watched the candles tremble
I heard the silence run
Then you kissed me softly
Like a velvet gun
If I fall
Let it be slow If I break
Let no one know
Fire your love Straight through my heart
Leave me beautiful Leave me torn apart
Pull
me close Then let me run I was wounded
by
Your velvet gun
You wore truth like perfume
Just enough to make me stay
I mistook the warning
For the price I had to pay
Now the room is empty
And the damage has begun
I was never ready
For your velvet gun
You can take the diamond
You can take the crown But you won’t see me begging
When the curtain’s coming down
Fire your love Straight through my heart Leave me beautiful
Leave me torn apart
If I bleed I bleed as one
Still I won’t surrender
To your velvet gun (ahhhh) (ooh)
Velvet gun
