💜 Rouge et Noir（Red and Black ）

[Intro] (Whisper) “Whatever…” ⸻ [Verse 1] A trace of crimson lipstick Left upon the glass Pretending nothing happened I let the night pass Someone says your name Across the crowded room I shrug and look away Like it means nothing ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I’m alright That’s what I say I’m alright I smile anyway But somehow The autumn wind tonight Feels a little too kind ⸻ [Chorus] Rouge et Noir A shadow dancing behind the mask Rouge et Noir The one whose lies were beautiful Pretending love Could never capture me Yet all this time It was only you ⸻ [Post-Chorus] “How pathetic…” ⸻ [Verse 2] New shoes and new romances Never seem to fit No matter how I try I still remember you Messages deleted Or so I believed But my fingertips Still betray the truth ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2] If I were truly over you I’d have forgotten long ago If I were truly over you I wouldn’t look behind me I know the answer I just don’t want to say it ⸻ [Silence Break] (All instruments stop) “Whatever…” ⸻ [Chorus 2] Rouge et Noir The more I hide my heart Rouge et Noir The closer you become After all the cold words I’ve thrown into the dark I’m left alone Missing you ⸻ [Bridge] The stronger I appear The harder it becomes To show the fragile parts I keep hidden away Especially with you ⸻ [Emotional Break] “Hey…” “Why…” “Why did it have to be you…” ⸻ [Final Chorus] Rouge et Noir I don’t need this mask anymore Rouge et Noir Before the morning comes I’ll embrace even The parts that were afraid Maybe now I could finally say it ⸻ [Outro] (Almost a whisper) “I missed you…”
