Prompt / Lyrics
Cigarette smoke and a slow-burn tune Moonlight resting on this quiet room Your shadow sways with the stand-up bass Time slows down when I see your face The piano cries what we never say Every note bends my heart your way Old bar stools and a half-told truth I sip my doubts, still drunk on you Chorus ’Cause I get blue after midnight When the lights turn soft and low Your love lingers in the silence Like a song I’ll never let go Yeah, I get blue after midnight When the stars lean in too close Every goodbye tastes like bourbon Every memory like smoke Verse 2 Trumpet weeps in a lonely key Sounds like it knows too much of me Your laugh cuts through the dim-lit air Like a promise that was never fair Hands shake when our fingers meet This kind of love don’t come discreet We dance between the wrong and right Two lost hearts in borrowed time Chorus I get blue after midnight When the jukebox sings our song Your perfume stays on my jacket Long after you’re gone Yeah, I get blue after midnight When the truth hits hard and slow Love like ours don’t fade easy It just learns how to go low Bridge (Spoken / soft) Funny how love sounds better When it’s a little broken… Verse 3 Dawn creeps in through cracked-glass dreams Morning don’t know what we been One last kiss by the closing sign We leave our hearts on borrowed time Final Chorus I get blue after midnight But I’d do it all again ’Cause loving you, even lonely Beats never loving then Yeah, I get blue after midnight Still, your melody remains Some loves don’t need forever They just need a little pain Outro Piano fades… And so do we… 🎶
