Verse 1 (Cool detached vocals, sleek and hypnotic)
I look prettier in low light
City shining in my eyes
Everybody wants a piece
But nobody gets me twice
Cold hands wrapped around a glass
Laugh like nothing ever lasts
You call me cruel, I call it clean
Never let ’em close to me
Pre-Chorus (Soft airy vocals)
I know the way they watch me
Like I’m something they can keep
But I was never made
For anybody permanently
Chorus (Dark cinematic pop chorus, icy and addictive)
Cherry smoke hanging in the air
You still taste me when I’m not there
Red light glow on polished skin
You want me more when I disappear
I’m not made for settling down
I’m the girl you write about
Some things are better left unknown
Like cherry smoke and broken girls
Verse 2 (Smooth melodic vocals, emotionally detached)
Champagne stains and camera flashes
Everybody loves attractive damage
Silk dress slipping off my shoulder
You look at me like I hung the stars
I let people think they know me
That’s the easiest way to leave
You fell for the idea of me
Not the girl underneath
Pre-Chorus (Layered haunting vocals)
Everybody wants heaven
Till heaven starts pulling away
Funny how they love you most
Right before you leave them
Chorus (Full emotional dark-pop chorus)
Cherry smoke hanging in the air
You still taste me when I’m not there
Red light glow on polished skin
You want me more when I disappear
I’m not made for settling down
I’m the girl you write about
Some things are better left unknown
Like cherry smoke and broken girls
Bridge (Soft spoken into dreamy belt)
Maybe I was born
To be admired from a distance
Beautiful things rarely stay
That’s what makes people obsessed with them
Final Chorus (Huge cinematic ending)
Cherry smoke hanging in the air
Your fingerprints still everywhere
Black sky glow and silver rings
You miss me more in memories
I was never yours to hold
Just a story you got told
Some things are better left unknown
Like cherry smoke and broken girls
