[Verse 1] You disappeared before the neon died Left your shadow spinning by my side Midnight mirrors show your painted face But every truth melts back into lace [Pre-Chorus] And I wonder, somehow, what spell you cast Right on my fragile heart Step to the rhythm, dance with the past Right on this nightmare start [Chorus] Stay with me, under these lights In this slow-burning, wrong-but-right Even if tomorrow breaks the charm I’ll remember every scar When the moonlight marks our hearts Stay with me, under these lights [Verse 2] I see your smile on every crooked mask Hear your whisper in the calliope brass Cotton-candy venom on your tongue But I still chase every curse you spun [Pre-Chorus] And I wonder, somehow, what spell you weave Right through my haunted veins Maybe we’re tangled and can’t just leave Caught in this sugar pain [Chorus] Stay with me, under these lights In this slow-burning, wrong-but-right Even if tomorrow breaks the charm I’ll remember every scar When the moonlight marks our hearts Stay with me, under these lights [Bridge] Maybe love’s a ritual made to fail Maybe we’re just ghosts who ride the rail If breaking free is all that’s left to do I’ll break the chain… but I’ll carry you [Final Chorus] Stay with me, under these lights One last waltz in this cursed delight Even if tomorrow tears apart All the secrets in my heart And when the silence steals your name I’ll still whisper it in flames [Outro] You fade away like smoke at dawn But every haunt still lingers on I let you slip into the dark (oh, oh) And keep your shadow in my heart (yeah) (heh… haha… ahaha…)
