White lies
in black satin nights
too late to talk about it
too tired to fight
so tangled up
and it's so hard to be right
together alone in these (or "it means") black satin nights
We used to say that we could beat the world
if we could just hold on
we had it all
we had each other, girl
where do we go wrong
so now you're sayin that you're movin on
I got the feeling that you're already gone
White lies
in black satin nights
too late to talk about it
too tired to fight
so tangled up
and it's so hard to be right
together alone in these black satin nights
Sometimes I wake up and I see your face
in a photograph
It hurts too much until I turn away
I can't hold on to the past
I was the first to say
we meet the end
but now I miss you, will you try again?
We used to say that we could beat the world
if we could just hold on
(Now it's) White lies
in black satin nights
too late to talk about it
too tired to fight
so tangled up
and it's so hard to be right
together alone in these black satin nights
