[Verse 1] Streetlights flicker in a broken line City’s breathing, but it’s not alive Lipstick stains on a coffee cup You said forever, but you gave it up I still hear you in the radio Static whispers I can’t let go Your shadow dancing on my wall Like you never left at all [Pre-Chorus] Every siren sounds like your name Every fire feels the same [Chorus] We were velvet after midnight Soft and reckless in the blue light You held my heart like dynamite Kissed me slow, then said goodbye Now I’m burning in the low light Silhouettes and street signs If love was just a crime Then I’d do it every time [Verse 2] Perfume fading from my sheets Cold side of these empty dreams I play brave in the daylight But I break every night [Pre-Chorus 2] Every memory cuts so deep But I still want you next to me [Bridge] (soft, almost whisper) Maybe love is just a ghost Haunting what we wanted most Maybe I was never strong Just good at holding on [Final Chorus – bigger, layered harmonies] We were velvet after midnight Golden chaos, perfect lies If I could press rewind I’d still choose you every time [Outro – soft falsetto] Velvet… velvet in the night… You and I… fading light…
