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
