Lyrics

Suede

I never understood your skin

Sharp and hard like leather never ever broken in

Discarded on the path of your perfection

I learned that beauty lies in the eyes of the deception

Fingers like a silver chain, yeah

Soft around my neck; can I ever trust again?

Lying in the path of your destruction

Sifting through the rubble for the ghost of your seduction

[Chorus]

Just like the marks on my guitar

Just like the scratches on my heart

Some things ain't ever gonna fade

I'll never get back all those years

But now, I'm taking back those tears

Tonight, I'm falling into suede, yeah

[Verse 2]

Deep in the night, I see my fears

And if I try to touch them, they only disappear

The needle and the thread, just a temporary mend

Days and days are never put together again

[Chorus]

Just like the marks on my guitar

Just like the scratches on my heart

Some things ain't ever gonna fade

I'll never get back all those years

But now, I'm taking back those tears

Tonight, I'm falling into suede, oh

[Bridge]

All the smoke, all the wine

The stains deep in my mind, yeah

Oh, I am fringe in the breeze

Oh, that tears like denim on my knees

[Chorus]

Just like the marks on my guitar

Just like the scratches on my heart

Some things ain't ever gonna fade

I'll never get back all those years

But now, I'm taking back those tears

Tonight, I'm falling into suede

Just like the marks on my guitar

Just like the scratches on my heart

Some things ain't ever gonna fade

I'll never get back all those years

But now, I'm taking back those tears

Tonight, I'm falling into suede

Tonight, I'm falling into suede
