Fake leather heart

Fake Leather Heart”

(Verse 1)

You showed up late, in that same black coat

Eyes like winter, voice like smoke

Said you missed me, but not too much

Like love was just a thing you touch

We danced around the words we meant

You played cool, I played content

But we were burning slow and bright

Like neon signs that die at night

(Chorus)

You’ve got a fake leather heart

Looks good but it falls apart

You say the right things, just enough

To make it feel like love

But it’s cold when we collide

Like we’re kissing with closed eyes

And I know you won’t stay long

But I still play along

(Verse 2)

You live like you’re in black and white

Chasing thrill, avoiding light

I trace your face in cigarette ash

You disappear, then you come back

You talk in riddles, sleep in lies

And leave before the morning dries

But I keep a space on my side

For the ghost you never hide

(Chorus)

You’ve got a fake leather heart

Soft touch but it breaks apart

You’re the king of casual sins

With perfume made of endings

Still, I ache for what you fake

Even knowing what’s at stake

It’s a game I always lose

But I still play for you

(Bridge)

You say, “Don’t fall too deep”

As you pull me underneath

You kiss like it’s goodbye

Every time, every time

(Final Chorus)

You’ve got a fake leather heart

Still, you wore it like fine art

And I knew it wasn’t real

But I loved the way it feels

So I’ll lie here in the dark

Wearing all your broken parts

You were never mine to start

Just a fake leather heart
