[Verse 1] Late check-in at the hotel bar Red drink in a coffee cup You’re laughing like you caught my lie You don’t know I’m the one that hunts No reflection in the bathroom glass Just the outline of your throat You say “God You’re pale tonight” I say “Baby That’s how stories go” (mm) [Chorus] I’m a vampire Hide my teeth behind a tired little half-smile Heart on ice But my hands run warm on your skin You say “stay” and I say “till the sunrise” You don’t know that I never let the sun in I’m a vampire Love you like a bad habit I won’t quit Kiss you once and I’m tasting the damage You keep asking what I really am inside I’m a vampire You’re the kind of hurt I’ll manage [Verse 2] Black coat on in July heat Say I chill when the night hits You trace veins on my wrist Slow Ask if anything scares me yet Only thing that ever shook me Was a girl who didn’t run She just stared at the dark in me Called it “almost fun” (oh) [Chorus] I’m a vampire Hide my teeth behind a tired little half-smile Heart on ice But my hands run warm on your skin You say “stay” and I say “till the sunrise” You don’t know that I never let the sun in I’m a vampire Love you like a bad habit I won’t quit Kiss you once and I’m tasting the damage You keep asking what I really am inside I’m a vampire You’re the kind of hurt I’ll manage [Bridge] What if I turn you? What if you like it? (yeah) What if the hunger Feels just like liking someone too much You say “swear you won’t disappear” I say “I’ve been here for a hundred years” Same room Same view New name on the door But it’s still you (you, you) [Chorus] I’m a vampire Hide my teeth behind a tired little half-smile Heart on ice But my hands run warm on your skin You say “stay” and I say “till the sunrise” You don’t know that I never let the sun in I’m a vampire Love you like a bad habit I won’t quit Kiss you once and I’m tasting the damage You keep asking what I really am inside I’m a vampire You’re the kind of hurt I’ll manage
