I wore the dress
You loved the most
The one with lace
Along the sleeve
And as I passed
That evening post
I wondered would you still believe?
Cherry red confessions on my lips tonight
Soft as candle shadows in the morning light
Words I never dared to say
Now they gently float away
Cherry red confessions faded but polite
We danced around the things unsaid
A waltz of silence, measured grace
But every glance in cherry red
Left a whisper on my face
Cherry red confessions on my lips tonight
Wrapped in all the dreams that never turned out right
Truths I tried to hide in song
Maybe I've known all along
Cherry red confessions fragile, yet polite
Time won't ask us what we meant
It only tucks away regret
But in the folds of satin nights
Some secrets shimmer yet
Cherry red confessions on my lips tonight
Gone like paper lanterns drifting out of sight
Maybe love was just a sigh
Painted softly, passing by
Cherry red confessions flickering, polite
