Verse
You came in through the side door,
Like you’d been there before,
With your coat across your shoulder
And your eyes upon the floor.
There was something in the silence,
Something hanging in the room,
Like a photograph developing
And showing up too soon.
Pre-Chorus
You can change your name,
You can change your clothes,
You can swear nobody knows—
But I know.
Chorus
Love in the dark,
And hide your ways.
Love in the light,
Always betrays.
The truth in plain sight,
Written all over your face.
Love in the dark,
But daylight gives you away.
Verse
There’s a lipstick on the wine glass,
There’s a number on the wall,
There’s a shadow in the hallway
That you never saw at all.
And the city keeps on dancing
While the taxis disappear,
You can bury every secret,
But you can’t make it unclear.
Pre-Chorus
You can shut the blinds,
You can kill the phone,
You can tell yourself you’re alone—
But I know.
Chorus
Love in the dark,
And hide your ways.
Love in the light,
Always betrays.
The truth in plain sight,
Written all over your face.
Love in the dark,
But daylight gives you away.
Bridge
Oh, you thought the night would save you,
You thought the night was kind.
But every little alibi
Leaves something else behind.
And I don’t need a witness,
I don’t need to hear you say—
Morning has a cruel habit
Of giving everything away.
Breakdown
Turn out the lights,
Pull down the shade,
Tell me again
It was all a mistake.
Turn out the lights,
Call it a lie—
There’s nowhere left
For the truth to hide.
Chorus
Love in the dark,
And hide your ways.
Love in the light,
Always betrays.
The truth in plain sight,
Written all over your face.
Love in the dark,
But daylight gives you away.
Love in the dark,
Where promises stay.
Love in the light—
And watch them decay.
The truth in plain sight,
There’s nothing left you can say.
Love in the dark,
But daylight gives you away.
Outro
Daylight gives you away.
Daylight gives you away.
The truth in plain sight—
Daylight gives you away.
