[Verse 1] Saw your name start glowing on my phone at 2 AM Thumb on the screen Heart on the fence I could crash I could turn back again Bathroom light humming on my tired skin Mascara maps All the places you’ve been In my head In my bed You keep sneaking in [Pre-Chorus] But I’ve been tracing my scars like constellations Learning how to love the cracks you left Every time I wanna fall back into your rotation I say it out loud under my breath [Chorus] I got new rules for the night If it feels like you, I let it die If it tastes like you, I spit that lie If it sounds like you, I change that line Don’t start now, I’m finally fine I’m gonna dance this hurt to life Spin my tears into silver light I got new rules for the night [Verse 2] We used to own this corner of the floor Now I glide through the ghosts Like I’ve been here before Your cologne in the crowd Tries to pull me back down But my friends draw halos in eyeliner “Baby, breathe, you’re a wildfire” They hold my hands As the drop comes crashing down [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I still feel you in the spaces between heartbeats But I won’t let the memories drive Every time I hear a love song with your heartbeat I flip the script and keep myself alive [Chorus] I got new rules for the night If it feels like you, I let it die If it tastes like you, I spit that lie If it sounds like you, I change that line Don’t start now, I’m finally fine I’m gonna dance this hurt to life Spin my tears into silver light I got new rules for the night [Bridge] We were midnight, misaligned, twisted devotion You were pouring gasoline into my ocean Called it romance, I called it corrosion You called it “come home,” I called it explosion I kept receipts in the back of my brain Every late text, every halfway apology you gave Signed in invisible ink and champagne Now I frame those ghosts like they’re part of the game Count ’em One for the lies that I swallowed like pills Two for the times that you bent all my will Three for the nights I was begging you, “stay” Four for the girl that you pushed in my place Five for the pieces I picked off the floor Six for the version of me you ignored Now I’m dancing on the rules that I wrote in the dark Every step another stitch through the tear in my heart If loving you was the stage where I drowned in the light Then losing you’s the cue where I own the night [Verse 3] So when the room goes quiet and the walls turn red I’m not chasing a ghost I’m not breaking my neck For a flash For a past I already bled I twirl through the wreckage of our almost-forever Sing to the girl who deserved so much better Hands to the sky Yeah, she’s finally the center [Chorus] I got new rules for the night If it feels like you, I let it die If it tastes like you, I spit that lie If it sounds like you, I change that line Don’t start now, I’m finally fine I’m gonna dance this hurt to life Spin my tears into silver light I got new rules for the night
