[Verse 1] You found me where the streetlights die, With your secrets hiding in your eyes. You said, “Run,” but you held me close, Like you were scared of letting go. Your hands are cold, your heart is worse, But somehow I still want your curse. Every warning sounds like your name, Every touch sets fire to the rain. [Pre-Chorus] You’re the shadow underneath my bed, The wicked thoughts inside my head. I know your love could ruin me, Still, I fall willingly. [Chorus] You taste like velvet, You burn like venom, I know you're heaven With a little bit of hell in you. If loving you is my destruction, Then pull me deeper into your corruption. Lock every door, turn off every light— I’ll still find you in the middle of the night. [Verse 2] You wear your sins like expensive clothes, Nobody knows what nobody knows. You smile like you already won, And I hate that I can't seem to run. Your name is carved beneath my skin, A beautiful war I can't seem to win. You whisper promises you won't keep, Then haunt me every time I sleep. [Pre-Chorus] You're the danger I should leave behind, But you're the only thing on my mind. Maybe we're both a little insane, But I like the way you say my name. [Chorus] You taste like velvet, You burn like venom, I know you're heaven With a little bit of hell in you. If loving you is my destruction, Then pull me deeper into your corruption. Lock every door, turn off every light— I’ll still find you in the middle of the night. [Bridge] If we're gonna drown, Then let the water rise. If we're gonna break, Don't look me in the eyes. You said forever— I knew it was a lie. But I'd rather live your nightmare Than wake up without you tonight. [Final Chorus] You taste like velvet, You burn like venom, My sweetest weakness, My favorite kind of sin. If loving you means losing everything, I'll wear the ashes like a diamond ring. Let the whole world call us wrong— As long as you're beside me, I'll keep singing our song. [Outro] Velvet on my lips, Venom in my veins… You were never my escape— You were the beautiful cage.
