[Verse 1]
You come back
every time I leave you
Like your body
doesn’t know another way
You wait for me
inside the silence
Even when I give you
nothing to say
You watch my hands
like they could save you
You watch my eyes
like they could end you too
And I know you feel it
every time I touch you
How your whole world
starts bending to my mood
[Verse 2]
Late night calls
with the lights off
Your voice shaking
just to hear mine
You say you hate me
when I disappear
Then you fall apart
the second I reply
You let me stay
inside your bloodstream
Running through you
slow and sweet
Like every broken part
belongs beside me
Like I’m the only thing
you’ll ever need
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t pull away now
Come a little closer
You know you breathe different
when I hold you like this
Don’t close your eyes yet
Stay inside the moment
You always come back
when I whisper like this
[Chorus]
Come back to
my velvet ghost
Back to the place
you ache for most
You want my love
my attention
Even when it cuts too deep
You taste my poison
like it’s holy
You let my shadow
sleep beside you
Fall into me tonight
Lose yourself
until there’s nothing left but us
[Verse 3]
Cold blue light
moving through the bedroom
Your skin pale
against the sheets
You move closer
when I grow distant
Like losing me
feels hard to breathe
And I love the way
you need my presence
The way your voice
gets soft for me
Like every lonely part
inside your body
Was always meant
to circle back to me
[Bridge]
If I disappear
you’ll hear me everywhere
In the ceiling
In the quiet
In the spaces
between your breaths
You’ll still reach for me
half asleep
Like your hands remember
what your mind should forget
[Final Chorus]
Come back to
my velvet ghost
Back to the place
you ache for most
You crave my love
my approval
Even when it tears you apart
You wear my words
like a confession
You let my darkness
wrap around you
Fall into me tonight
Forever
close enough to ruin
