The Dark Dresses Lightly Lyrics by AURORA
As I pour out my story
Drink me up
There is wine in every word
(Here’s to us now, my dear
We’re being strong now)
And the dark dresses lightly
Razor sharp
As it cuts right through my soul
(Here’s to us now, my dear
It took too long)
Guess I shouldn’t have kept the knife in my heart for so long
Guess I shouldn’t have held back
When I needed you to know
Guess I shouldn’t have kept the knife in my heart for so long
Guess I shouldn’t have held back
When I needed you to know
Ooo I just want to cry
With you tonight
It’s perfectly fine
To grieve the hurt that’s gonna die
Let us dance to our sorrow
Make amends
There’s so much you still don’t know
(Here’s to us now my dear
We’re going deep now)
All this fear
It’s contagious
Now we’re here
Let our glasses overflow
(Here’s to us now, my dear
It took too long)
Guess I shouldn’t have kept the knife in my heart for so long
Guess I shouldn’t have held back
When I needed you to know
Guess I shouldn’t have kept the knife in my heart for so long
Guess I shouldn’t have held back
When I needed you to know
Ooo I just want to cry
With you tonight
It’s perfectly fine
To grieve the hurt that’s gonna die
Oh oh oh
Can you feel it
Mmmhhh yeah
Let me feel it
Louder
Louder
Louder
Louder
To the river
To the water
Where the floodgates
Are wide open
And the tower
Has fallen onto you
Let me feel it darling
(darling darling)
Let me feel it darling
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
