Текст песни
Streetlights bleedin' gold across the avenue
You slide out the cab, somethin' brand new
But I know that look, it's the one you wear
When the daylight fades and you just don't care
About the promises we made in the sun
'Cause the nighttime's here and the damage is done
In your silk dress, lookin' like a sweet mistake
Another heart you're ready to break
Yeah, you call it freedom, I call it a game
But every time you leave, it still feels the same
One taste of the darkness, and you forget my name
Just a lonely fire, fueled by the flame
You're the neon queen in the city's glow
A dangerous beauty that I can't let go
Runnin' through my mind on a starless drive
The one I need just to feel alive
This ain't love, baby, it's just a sound
Of the midnight echoes when you're not around
But I'd rather have your ghost in my bed
Than the emptiness I'm livin' instead
You talk about the high, the rush in your veins
The strangers' eyes that wash away the pains
But you always come back when the music ends
To the quiet truth that nobody defends
I see the real you behind that disguise
A little bit lost behind those smokey eyes
You say you hate the silence, you need the noise
But the loud life only drowns out your voice
Yeah, you call it freedom, I call it a game
But every time you leave, it still feels the same
One taste of the darkness, and you forget my name
Just a lonely fire, fueled by the flame
You're the neon queen in the city's glow
A dangerous beauty that I can't let go
Runnin' through my mind on a starless drive
The one I need just to feel alive
This ain't love, baby, it's just a sound
Of the midnight echoes when you're not around
But I'd rather have your ghost in my bed
Than the emptiness I'm livin' instead
You don't need my heart, you need the distraction
A temporary fix, a late-night transaction
I'm just a passenger on your fading star
Tell me, baby, who do you think you really are?
You're the neon queen in the city's glow
A dangerous beauty that I can't let go
Runnin' through my mind on a starless drive
The one I need just to feel alive
This ain't love, baby, it's just a sound
Of the midnight echoes when you're not around
But I'd rather have your ghost in my bed
Than the emptiness I'm livin' instead
Midnight echoes
Yeah, the emptiness I'm livin' instead
