Velvet Dreams

You kissed me slow in a neon confessional
We danced on the edge of a world turned cruel
Your hands like smoke, slipping through my youth
You promised me heaven, but left me with sorrow

Oh, the moonlight lies when it paints your name
In silver streaks across my windowpane
Now the roses cry, and the jukebox sighs
Play our song just one more time

Oh, my love, my tragedy
You're the scar in my symphony
In every dream, you're a stolen rhyme
Forever mine in the rearview light
Forever mine in the rearview

Diner lights, cherry-cola tears
You loved me fiercely, then vanished for years
Red dress dreams in a motel haze
You're a shimmering film in my marble days
Palm trees sway like a lullaby
Singing goodbye, my doomed valentine

Oh, the city murmurs your forgotten tune
As I waltz alone under a blood-red Moon
The champagne is flat, but the pain is divine
Burn our bed, but keep your lies

Oh, my love, my tragedy
You're the scar in my symphony
In every dream, you're a stolen rhyme
Forever mine in the rearview light
Forever mine in the rearview

Do you still taste my tears in the Malibu rain?
Or is my name just ash in your cocaine veins?
The ocean whispers, he's gone, he's gone
But I'm still here, dancing with the dawn

Oh, my love, my tragedy
You're the scar in my symphony
In every dream, you're a stolen rhyme
Forever mine in the rearview light
Forever mine in the rearview

Do you still taste my tears in the Malibu rain?
Or is my name just ash in your cocaine veins?
The ocean whispers, he's gone, he's gone
But I'm still here, dancing with the dawn
