Rain in My Veins

(Yeah…)

One more shot, ’cause I feel you fading

Same old ghosts in the room I’m pacing

Watch the rain hit the window slow

Another lie in a love you sold

⸻

You’re like Novocaine, poison in my brain

Say it’s love, but it feels like pain

You’ve been out late, keepin’ secrets again

While I sit in the silence, drownin’ in the rain

Told me that I’m crazy, maybe you’re right

But I’ve been watchin’ shadows slip into the night

You’re the calm in the chaos, the smile in the fight

But I taste the bitter every time we collide

⸻

I’ve been listenin’, payin’ attention

But you don’t hear me, you just mention

Everything and nothin’

While I overdose on your intention

⸻

Come, let’s watch the rain as it’s fallin’ down

Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around

Shit don’t feel the same, I’m breakin’ now

But you smile while I drown

You’re like Novocaine, cold in my veins

Love that hurts, but I take it again

Come, let’s watch the rain as it’s fallin’ down

Like you watched me fall without a sound

⸻

I replay the pictures, yeah, every frame

Lyin’ to myself, sayin’ you’ll never change

But the truth is a razor you keep in disguise

Cut me deep, and I still call it “mine”

City lights blur while I ride alone

Your perfume lingers like a ghost on my phone

You said forever but your love was rented

Now I’m left with memories and texts unsent

⸻

Darlin’, your love is a bed of nails

And I keep walkin’ ‘til my colors pale

You’re not here, but I feel you still

In the empty space I tried to fill

⸻

Come, let’s watch the rain as it’s fallin’ down

Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around

Tell me lies, make it hurt, make it count

You’re the ghost I can’t live without

You’re like Novocaine, numb in my chest

Kissin’ goodbye with poison on your breath

Come, let’s watch the rain as it’s fallin’ down

One last time before I break down

⸻

You’re up to somethin’…

And I let you be…

(But this ain’t love… it’s the death of me…)
