(Verse 1 – [The Weeknd]) It’s always after dark when you come alive Dressed in red with them glassy eyes You say he don’t touch you like I do You say all the right lies when the sky turns blue I know you ain’t sleepin’ in his bed You just lay there scrollin’, in your head Waitin’ on a message that’ll pull you out So here I go again, guess I’m that now (Pre-Chorus – [The Weeknd]) Yeah, we don’t talk, we just breathe Between the smoke and your knees You say “love” like it’s cheap But you still fallin’ for me ⸻ (Chorus – [The Weeknd]) Girl, you only call me after midnight (midnight) When your heart’s too cold and the pills don’t hit right (don’t hit right) Say you hate love, but you crave mine (crave mine) Leave your man, come get lost in my dark side ‘Cause I know what you like when the lights low All your sins get dressed in designer clothes We don’t talk ‘bout love, we just overdose So tell me, tell me — how far you tryna go? ⸻ (Verse 2 – [The Weeknd]) You ain’t even tryna be saved You just want something that fades Pull up in silence, backseat violence Liquor and smoke on your face You say “don’t fall for me” But I know you already did He’s a placeholder, I’m your real You want heaven but you live in sin (Pre-Chorus – [The Weeknd]) Yeah, I show up, disappear But you still whisper in my ear You love the pain, love the fear And girl, I know why you’re here ⸻ (Chorus – [The Weeknd]) Girl, you only call me after midnight (midnight) When your heart’s too cold and the pills don’t hit right (don’t hit right) Say you hate love, but you crave mine (crave mine) Leave your man, come get lost in my dark side ‘Cause I know what you like when the lights low All your sins get dressed in designer clothes We don’t talk ‘bout love, we just overdose So tell me, tell me — how far you tryna go? ⸻ (Outro – [The Weeknd]) Midnight calls, no names Another ghost in your veins You’ll be gone by the day But you’ll be back when it rains After midnight Yeah, you love it when it’s not right You don’t want real — just the highlight You don’t want love — just a goodnight

After Midnight
