Lemon-Limed Lie
Astrobrite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

True love is on you
Felt inside you all beside you
I could feel that this love is over
Felt inside you

Love is safe there
Fell inside to velvet sky blue
Failed inside you

If you see that this love is over
Felt inside

Steal my gilded and true
Velvet inside you warm inside you
Won't believe that this love is over
Softly stains you

Perfect strangers insane surrounds
Felt inside you soft like sky blue

If you feel that this love is over
Say goodbye
