[Verse 1] The clock strikes twelve, the city sleeps, But you're the promise darkness keeps. Standing underneath my window, Like a ghost only I can know. You don't knock, you never do, Somehow I always let you through. There's a silence between our eyes, Full of things we never verbalize. [Pre-Chorus] You say we're nothing, But you hold me close. You call it a mistake, But you never let me go. [Chorus] Kiss me like a secret, Love me like a lie. Hold me in the darkness Until the morning dies. If we're only temporary, Let me pretend tonight. Kiss me like a secret— Then disappear from my life. [Verse 2] Black roses underneath your feet, Rain is falling down the street. You wear regret around your neck, Like a chain you can't forget. I know there's something underneath The coldness hiding in your teeth. You look at me like I'm the only Thing that makes you feel alive. [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Don't trust me,” I say, “Too late.” You say, “I'm dangerous,” I say, “I can take it.” [Chorus] Kiss me like a secret, Love me like a lie. Hold me in the darkness Until the morning dies. If we're only temporary, Let me pretend tonight. Kiss me like a secret— Then disappear from my life. [Bridge] Maybe we're a tragedy That hasn't happened yet. Maybe you're the worst mistake I'll never regret. If the stars refuse to watch us, Let the moon become our witness. No one has to know our names— Just kiss me like a secret. [Final Chorus] Kiss me like a secret, Hold me like a crime. Give me all your darkness, I'll give you all of mine. If there's no happily ever after, I'll still stay tonight. Kiss me like a secret— Until the world turns white. [Outro] Don't say you love me… Don't say goodbye… Just kiss me like a secret One last time.
