[Intro – ambient synths, subtle vocal chops, moody bass]
[Verse 1 – The Weeknd]
Night falls on my guilt again
You show up like a ghost in sin
Red wine lips and a stranger’s touch
I crave the pain, I need too much
Velvet lies in your silhouette
You whisper truths that I forget
Every kiss a war I lose
But I still light the fuse
[Chorus – The Weeknd]
We bloom in the shadows, love out of tune
Two hearts drifting under a haunted moon
We burn, we break, we bruise
But I keep chasing ruin with you
We bloom in the shadows…
Me and you
[Verse 2 – SZA]
I gave you my fire, you played with smoke
Now every word you breathe feels like a choke
You don’t say love, but you pull me in
A moth to the flame I’ve always been
You like your love when it feels like sin
But I’m not a ghost you can wear like skin
I bend, I break, I try to heal
But you only love what you can steal
[Chorus – SZA & The Weeknd]
(SZA)
We bloom in the shadows, hearts out of place
I gave you my truth, you needed a face
(The Weeknd)
We burn, we break, we bruise
But I keep chasing ruin with you
(Both)
We bloom in the shadows…
Me and you
[Bridge – SZA (background vocals by The Weeknd)]
Can’t save you if I drown too
Why we keep dancing in black and blue?
Call it love, call it what we do
But it don’t look like heaven… from this view
[Outro – The Weeknd & SZA, layered vocals]
(The Weeknd)
You and I, we write our pain in stars
(SZA)
Closer we get, the deeper the scars
(Both)
But I’d rather fall with you than fly alone
In the dark… you feel like home
