Velvet Blood

(Verse 1)

Champagne dreams in a motel bed

He says I’m poison, but he drinks me instead

Velvet lips and a heart gone cold

I traded heaven for someone I could hold

(Pre-Chorus)

I wear red like a warning sign

Pray in lace and cherry wine

He’s a ghost in a leather coat

Tells me he loves me, then forgets he spoke

(Chorus)

I’m the storm you kissed in the rain

A rose on fire, a runaway train

He calls me trouble, I call him home

But we’re both better off alone

(Verse 2)

Cigarette burns on a wedding dress

He said forever, I said “I’ll guess”

Drive me down in your midnight car

Leave me laughing underneath the stars

(Pre-Chorus)

I wear pearls like battle scars

Cry in bathtubs under neon bars

He’s the sin I never quit

And I’m the song he still forgets

(Chorus)

I’m the storm you kissed in the rain

A rose on fire, a runaway train

He calls me trouble, I call him home

But we’re both better off alone

(Bridge)

Whispers in pink, lies dressed in black

He goes missing, but always comes back

I say his name like a prayer at night

But love like ours don’t end in light

(Final Chorus)

I’m the storm you kissed in the rain

A rose on fire, a runaway train

I gave him heaven, he gave me pain

But I’d do it all again, all again...
