[Verse 1] Lipstick fading on a crystal glass Echoes of a love we couldn’t last City lights blur like a memory You were never what you said you’d be [Pre-Chorus] I trace your name in cigarette smoke Every promise you left broke Still I stay where shadows grow Just to feel you one more ghost [Chorus] In the velvet after midnight I’m dancing with your ghost again Your voice is in the neon Calling out my name in vain I should let you go, I know it But your touch still stains my skin In the velvet after midnight I let you pull me back again [Verse 2] Perfume lingers in the sheets Like a lie that feels too sweet Every silence screams your truth But I still run back to you [Pre-Chorus 2] Broken heels on empty streets Every step repeats your beat I’m addicted to the fall Even knowing it’s not love [Chorus] In the velvet after midnight… (repeat) [Bridge] Maybe I’m the kind that stays Where love burns but never stays Maybe pain just feels like home When you’re dancing all alone [Final Chorus] In the velvet after midnight I don’t fight it anymore If loving you’s a losing game I’ll still crawl across the floor Let the night just take me deeper Where I don’t have to pretend In the velvet after midnight I’ll be yours until the end [Outro] Softly fading, neon glow… I was yours… you’ll never know…
