Late Nights

Keep the door closed Let the bass breathe Don’t say my name

yet

Velvet room, black rain,

slow glass I count old sins when the headlights pass Moon on

my chain, smoke in my lungs I still taste words

that I never sung You called it love,

I called it leverage Both of us bled in expensive silence I

don’t trust smiles when the room gets quiet Everybody holy till the

truth gets violent Phone face down,

no light, no witness I made peace look cold for the pictures

Ash on the keys,

prayer in the static I want you gone but I still feel

magnetic I

kept my hands clean

But my soul knew

One breath in the dark Still pulls me to you

Don’t forgive me

Just don’t forget I was the fire

You left in your chest Say what you want

Let it cut, let it set

Don’t forgive me

Just don’t forget

Locked top floor, no saints in the ceiling

Gold looks cheap when the wound starts speaking

Ghost in the mirror with my jaw held tight I

learned to disappear under nightclub lights Your name still burns where the

glass broke open I wear my calm like a loaded omen

No more begging, no scene,

no siren Just teeth on truth and a heart gone silent

I gave you devotion with a knife in the halo

You gave me reasons wrapped up in payroll

Love turned cold in the afterparty

Now I pray alone with a dead phone charging

This is the message I won’t send twice

I was not yours I was just tired

I wanted a witness

Not another cage

I wanted the truth

Not a beautiful stage Choir low

Bass drop

Glass shakes

Heart stops

Ash rise

Lights bend

Say it once Then the room caves in

Don’t forgive me

Just don’t forget

I was the fire You left in your chest Don’t forgive me

Just don’t forget

I was the fire You left in your chest

Door still closed

Rain still wet

Don’t forgive me

Just don’t forget
