There was a darkness to his love.
Honey don’t you see he’s dangerous?
Tell you anything you want to hear
Just to get you near, and drag you down.
There was a wall behind those eyes.
A handsome boy, and so at home with lies.
Caught your heart with words of wedding bells,
Silken veils, lovers’ tales.
(Chorus) - But the silver tongue will be leaving
While his golden one’s still believing
She’s the only love in his eyes so bright.
And her golden heart will be crying
As the night wind whispers a sigh
‘cause every law of love’s been beaten down tonight.
He broke the golden one. Oh, silver tongue.
It took a while to see the signs.
Pretty words tied up with broken twine.
Vacant promises, no follow-throughs;
Heart bruised and blue, silver hues.
-musical break-
(bridge)- A breaking heart will fight the doubt,
Though faced with a leaver’s lies.
Caught up in the war of heart and mind
We leave the truth behind.
Now-a-days, she’s on her own.
Looks back and sees the girl she used to know,
Loving eyes alight with golden dreams.
But they were empty things from a silver king.
(chorus) - ‘Cause the silver tongue will be leaving
While his golden one’s still believing
She’s the only love in his eyes so bright.
And her golden heart will be crying
As the night wind whispers a sigh,
‘cause every law of love’s been beaten down tonight.
He broke the golden one. Oh, silver tongue.
