Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Softly and slowly, gently in vain

The window is open, it's pouring rain

Thunder and lightning, a heated night

Sneaky intentions but certain delight

A lesson to learn, failure denied

Reason uncertain, I'm leaving tonight

Promise refusal, deflection degrade

Bottle desire, liquid pain

[Verse 2]

Lay me down

I'm listening

I've already seen a true romance

And it don't look like that

Tell me now

I'm begging

I've already seen a true romance

And it don't look like that

[Verse 3]

Perfect distraction, pale flesh

Silver armor covering death

Boyish desire, needless pain

Fire is fire, light is day

[Verse 4]

Lay me down

I'm listening

I've already seen a true romance

And it don't look like that

Tell me now

I'm begging

I've already seen a true romance

And it don't look like that

[Verse 5]

Give me the right of opinion

Just give me a go

Swallow your pride and stop thinking

Give me a go

Give me the right of opinion

Just give me a go

Swallow your pride and stop thinking

Give me a go

[Verse 6]

Lay me down

I'm listening

I've already seen a true romance

And it don't look like that

Tell me now

I'm begging

I've already seen a true romance

And it don't look like that

I've already seen a true romance

And it don't look like that

I've already seen a true romance

And it don't look like that
