[Intro] She walks between the streetlights Where the shadows learn her name Every heart that finds her Never beats the same [Verse 1] Don't go looking in the daylight She was never one for that She's the whisper in the alley The blade beneath the wrap She'll dance you round the ballroom Kiss you slow and kiss you deep While the hour hand is turning Toward a promise she won't keep [Pre-Chorus] Oh, she's patient, oh, she's cruel Playing every heart the fool Watch her smile, watch her lie Watch the light behind her eyes [Chorus] She hides in shadow, strikes like thunder Breaks your heart and steals your name Silent, deadly, pulling you under You'll never see her the same She's the darkness wearing velvet She's the fire in the frame Silent... deadly... she's the flame [Verse 2] You'll feel her in the stillness Just before the story ends She collects the hearts of strangers Calls them lovers, calls them friends But love, to her's a currency A weapon she can wield And by the time you learn her name Your fate is sealed [Pre-Chorus] Oh, she's patient, oh, she's cruel Playing every heart the fool Watch her smile, watch her lie Watch the light behind her eyes [Chorus] She hides in shadow, strikes like thunder Breaks your heart and steals your name Silent, deadly, pulling you under You'll never see her the same She's the darkness wearing velvet She's the fire in the frame Silent... deadly... she's the flame [Bridge] So if you see her in the mirror Standing closer than she seems Run, before the shadows take you Run, before you're in her dreams 'Cause the ones who love her blindly Never live to tell the tale [Chorus] She hides in shadow, strikes like thunder Breaks your heart and steals your name Silent, deadly, pulling you under You'll never see her the same She's the darkness wearing velvet She's the fire in the frame Silent... deadly... she's the flame [Outro] She walks between the streetlights Where the shadows learn her name And every heart that finds her Never... beats... the same
