C#m           B
It starts at daylight
   A
I see him
 C#m       B
Before my sad eyes
             A
I hear him breathing
C#m B                  A
Oh lover, need you to lead me
C#m B                        A  G#m
No never thought that you'd leave

Chorus:
E    F#      G#m
That was my veil
E    F#      A
That was my time
E     F#     G#m
Once held secret
E    F#   C#m
But now lies

No words can
Heal my heart
Inside I'm broken
Now it's done
Was she a pretty girl?
Does she have pretty hair?
Was she soft-spoken?
Was there a love there?

Chorus

Give back my veil
Give back my time
No more secret
You give me lies
Give me back my veil
Give back my life
No more secret
You give me lies

Lies
Lies
