Midnight Vows

**Midnight Vows**

 

 

Intro (soft, echo)

 

Late nights, your name on repeat (yeah)

 

Phone glow like a heartbeat (woah)

 

 

Verse 1

 

City sleeps but my mind's awake, tracing every scar you gave,

 

Red lights on the dashboard, I drive circles in your name.

 

Your jacket on my shoulders like a ghost I still embrace,

 

We traded promises for smoke and the memory won't fade.

 

I sip the silence, trying not to drown in what we were,

 

Every lullaby's a replay of the fights and the good words.

 

You said forever like a bullet, hit me and stuck,

 

Now I'm counting constellations from the pieces of my trust.

 

 

Pre-Chorus (melodic)

 

I call your number, get the void, hear the echo of your laugh,

 

Replay the movies in my head, wishing I could change the past.

 

Love's a medicine and poison, sweet relief that kills me slow,

 

But I'd take the pain if you would come back home.

 

 

Chorus (sung, anthemic)

 

'Cause when the lights go out, you're my only light (you're my only light),

 

Fighting through the black, trying to hold you through the night (through the night).

 

We wrote our truth in ink that bleeds when it rains,

 

Still I whisper midnight vows just to feel you say my name.

 

Oh, oh — love keeps me sane, love keeps me wild,

 

Oh, oh — love's the only place I want to hide for a while.

 

 

Verse 2 (rap-sung)

 

I count the reasons like the miles on a road that never ends,

 

Broken maps in my pocket, every route leads back to friends.

 

You left like sudden thunder, left me shaking in the dark,

 

But your laugh is a lighthouse cutting through the parts that bark.

 

I trade my demons for your warmth, try to barter peace,

 

But every calm betrays me where your absence never leaves.

 

I write your initials on the glass when the windows fog at dawn,

 

When I look up at the ceiling, all I see is where you gone.

 

 

Pre-Chorus (melodic)

 

I call your number, get the void, hear the echo of your laugh,

 

Replay the movies in my head, wishing I could change the past.

 

Love's a medicine and poison, sweet relief that kills me slow,

 

But I'd take the pain if you would come back home.

 

 

Chorus (sung, full)

 

'Cause when the lights go out, you're my only light (my only light),

 

Fighting through the black, trying to hold you through the night (through the night).

 

We wrote our truth in ink that bleeds when it rains,

 

Still I whisper midnight vows just to feel you say my name.

 

Oh, oh — love keeps me sane, love keeps me wild,

 

Oh, oh — love's the only place I want to hide for a while.

 

 

Bridge (vulnerable, layered harmonies)

 

I don't want heaven if it's empty without you,

 

I don't want a future if you can't be in the view.

 

All these stars are strangers without your smile,

 

Pull me back from nowhere, stay with me awhile.

 

(yeah, stay — woah)

 

 

Breakdown (fragile, near-whisper)

 

I swear I'd trade the nights I lost to save the ones we had,

 

Turn the static into symphonies, erase the bad.

 

If love's a battlefield, I'm laying down my arms,

 

Come back and heal the silence with your small and simple charms.

 

 

Final Chorus (big, cathartic)

 

When the lights go out, you're my only light (you're my only light),

 

Fighting through the black, trying to hold you through the night (through the night).

 

We wrote our truth in ink that bleeds when it rains,

 

Still I whisper midnight vows just to feel you say my name.

 

Oh, oh — love keeps me sane, love keeps me wild,

 

Oh, oh — love's the only place I want to hide for a while.

 

 

Outro (echo, fading)

 

Phone glow fade away, but your echo's in my chest (yeah),

 

Midnight vows and empty rooms — still I call you my best.
