Shadow Under Neon

Lip gloss, black coat

Late text, left on read

You say you miss my voice

But you stayed cold in my bed

Dark room, blue glow

Your name across my face

You only come in close

When you crave my taste

You call me crazy, still you dial at 3

You hate my habits but you live in me

You say you’re honest, you say you’re clean

Then pull me back into your dirty dream (oh)

I’m your shadow under neon

Only see me when you’re alone

Touch my waist just to feel strong

Then you vanish when it’s dawn

Yeah, you love me in the deep end

Hate me where the light hits

I’m your shadow under neon

Never more than your secret

Gold ring, same lie

You swear you’re “almost free”

You feed me little truths

Like they’re all I’ll ever need

Scratch marks, red eyes

Perfume on your sleeve

You say you’re not that guy

But that’s all I ever see

You call me poison, still you drink it slow

You say “it’s over,” then you text “don’t go”

You say I’m drama, then you beg for scenes

Then pull me back into your dirty dream (yeah)

I’m your shadow under neon

Only see me when you’re alone

Touch my waist just to feel strong

Then you vanish when it’s dawn

Yeah, you love me in the deep end

Hate me where the light hits

I’m your shadow under neon

Never more than your secret

I’m your shadow under neon (under neon)

Only real when you’re undone

Kiss my neck just to feel young

Then you’re ghost before the sun

Yeah, you love me in the deep end

Hate me where the light hits (where the light hits)

I’m your shadow under neon

But tonight I’m gonna quit
