lyrics

I see yellow daisies / white gardenia, too
they sway to either side / as you and I walk through
it may be the breezes / the moonlight, silver-blue
I would die tonight / if I could live this lie with you

I would live a lie / to tell the honest truth
to wake up by your side / see sunlight peeking through
it would fall upon your skin / it would shine on my skin, too
I would die tonight / if I could live that lie with you

'cause it's and empty little ritual / to tie the minuets through
everybody does / what nobody wants to do
wait with deepest wishes / for saint and angels
who know better than to come and try / to live a lie with you

but I don't want to go down / that dark avenue
too many souls go down the hole / to seek a sky of blue
I just want the eternal / for a minute or two
I would die tonight / if I could live that lie with you

so paint the petal purple / if that's what you want to do
don't be shy, don't hide your eyes / there's nothing you must prove
I don't want love forever / just the once would do

I would die tonight
I could die tonight
I will die tonight / if I can live this lie with you
