[Verse 1]
He wore a grin like a razor blade
Teacups shattered in the afternoon shade
She came in white with a curious stare
One foot in trouble, one foot in air
He said, "Don't trust that smile on me"
"I've kissed the edge of insanity"
She laughed, "Then show me the other side"
And the room went still when she took that ride
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "If you follow my heart"
"It only tears you apart"
"Maybe it drags you under"
"Maybe it steals your name"
[Chorus]
Mad hatter, Alice
We were never safe
Mad hatter, Alice
Falling anyway
Mad hatter, Alice
Love was a trap we chased
Mad hatter, Alice
Kiss the madness, take the blaze
[Verse 2]
She held his hand through the poison rain
Saw the sweet in the wound and the bruise in the flame
He wore the curse like a wedding ring
She wore his fear like a holy thing
They danced on the edge of a broken spell
Where the roses bled and the chapel fell
He said, "Run now, while you still can breathe"
She said, "I'd rather die than leave"
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "If you follow my heart"
"It only tears you apart"
"Maybe it drags you under"
"Maybe it steals your name"
[Chorus]
Mad hatter, Alice
We were never safe
Mad hatter, Alice
Falling anyway
Mad hatter, Alice
Love was a trap we chased
Mad hatter, Alice
Kiss the madness, take the blaze
[Bridge]
If the dark comes close
Let it come for me
If the world goes cold
I'll still let you be
My beautiful curse
My last good night
If we burn down slow
Let us burn in white
[Final Chorus]
Mad hatter, Alice
We were never safe
Mad hatter, Alice
Falling anyway
Mad hatter, Alice
Love was a trap we chased
Mad hatter, Alice
Kiss the madness, take the blaze
Mad hatter, Alice
Say my name in pain
Mad hatter, Alice
I'd do it all again
Mad hatter, Alice
We were born to break
Mad hatter, Alice
Love me like a mistake
