[Verse 1: Female]
Glass on the floor, I don’t remember why
Your ghost still lingers in the corner of my eye
Perfume on the silk, static in the air
You said you’d never leave, but you were never there
[Pre-Chorus: Female]
Hold me like I’m fragile, but don’t fix me
Kiss me in the dark where they won’t see
[Chorus: Female]
We dance in velvet shadows
Hide where the pain won’t follow
Hearts black and borrowed
Love like there’s no tomorrow
In velvet shadows
(We disappear, we disappear…)
[Verse 2: Male]
Backseat confessions in a car you don’t own
Your voice is a knife when I’m feeling alone
Liquor and lies in the Hollywood rain
You’re poison, but I crave the taste again
[Pre-Chorus: Male]
Call me when you’re broken, when you’re fading
I’ll come like a ghost that you’ve been chasing
[Chorus: Male]
We dance in velvet shadows
Hide where the pain won’t follow
Hearts black and borrowed
Love like there’s no tomorrow
In velvet shadows
(We disappear, we disappear…)
[Bridge: Male & Female]
Even if we fall, we fall in style
Tangled in the dark for a little while
We were never meant to be saved
But damn, we look good in the flame
[Chorus: Male & Female]
We dance in velvet shadows
Hide where the pain won’t follow
Hearts black and borrowed
Love like there’s no tomorrow
In velvet shadows
(We disappear, we disappear…)
[Outro: Female]
Don’t wake me up
Let me drown in this love
Velvet shadows…
Velvet shadows…
