Black Lace Heart

[Verse 1]
Lipstick on a coffee lid
Another almost
Almost did
Promise in a parking lot
Turned to ashes on the spot
I collect these pretty lies
Fold them
Hide them in my eyes
Every "forever" that you swore
Is just a shadow at my door
[Pre-Chorus]
You say I'm gentle
You say I'm sweet
You never see the thorns beneath
You taste the sugar
Miss the bite
You never ask about my nights
[Chorus]
I'm a black lace heart in a corset cage
Writing love notes on the edge of rage
I bleed in roses
You just see red wine
You call me tragic
I call it divine
Hopeless romantic carved into bone
Praying to saints who leave me alone
Every tender touch pulls me apart
From my black
Black
Black lace heart
[Verse 2]
You leave flowers at my feet
Walk away
Call that "complete"
Ghost me like a teenage dare
Block my number
Keep my hair
I keep every broken ring
Wear them like a quiet sting
Smiling while I stitch the seams
With all your half-aborted dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
You say I'm fragile
You say I'm pure
I'm the storm you won't endure
You taste the cherry
Miss the knife
You never ask what feeds my spite
[Chorus]
I'm a black lace heart in a corset cage
Writing love notes on the edge of rage
I bleed in roses
You just see red wine
You call me tragic
I call it divine
Hopeless romantic carved into bone
Praying to saints who leave me alone
Every tender touch pulls me apart
From my black
Black
Black lace heart
[Bridge]
[Half-time
Choir and strings swell]
I build altars out of ticket stubs
Dead bouquets
Dried-up loves
Name each scar like a sacred hymn
Kiss the bruise and invite you in (come closer)
If you cut me open
Would you stay
When you see the thorns all flayed?
Under all this lace and light
There's a girl who wants a fight
[Chorus]
I'm a black lace heart in a corset cage
Writing love notes on the edge of rage
I bleed in roses
You just see red wine
You call me tragic
I call it divine
Hopeless romantic carved into bone
Praying to saints who leave me alone
Every tender touch pulls me apart
From my black
Black
Black lace heart (oh-oh)
From my black
Black
Black lace heart
