Bed of Deceit

Lyrics

Verse 1
She had a gold band gleam
A daughter with her eyes
A business on the rise
A life that felt just right
Then Gabe said, “Baby, stay”
And talked like velvet smoke
He knew the softest seams
And every word he spoke

Pre-Chorus
Late night, one more call
He made her doubt it all
“What if love got cold?”
“What if you never chose?”
The room grew thin and still
Her heart began to lean
He whispered, “You deserve
Something in between”

Chorus
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
He pulled her out her name
And into the shade
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Now she can’t tell truth
From the bed of deceit

Verse 2
Solange left the lights on
But slept with eyes half open
Her wedding ring grew loose
Her promises were broken
She started coming home
With a different kind of smile
Things she’d never done before
Stayed hidden for a while
Every truth got bent
Every warning came too late
She traded steady hands
For a hunger she can’t shake

Pre-Chorus
Late night, one more call
He made her doubt it all
“What if love got cold?”
“What if you never chose?”
The room grew thin and still
Her heart began to lean
He whispered, “You deserve
Something in between”

Chorus
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
He pulled her out her name
And into the shade
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Now she can’t tell truth
From the bed of deceit

Bridge
Blurred vision
Hands on the edge
She heard her own vow
Like a ghost in the thread
One door at home
One lie at the door
What she wanted most
Was what she feared before

Chorus
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
He pulled her out her name
And into the shade
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Smooth talkin’ Gabe
Now she can’t tell truth
From the bed of deceit

Outro
One more call
One more lie
In the hush she chose
You can lose your life
One sweet voice
One dark phase
And she wakes up lost
In a bed of deceit
