[Verse 1]
You light a cigarette with a haunted kind of grace
Like every flame reminds you of some old, forgotten place
You say love’s a loaded word, like a pistol in a prayer
And I swear I saw the wreckage in the way you didn’t care

[Pre-Chorus]
But I stay, though I bleed
On every word you never mean
You wear your wounds like jewelry
Cold and cut like luxury

[Chorus]
I’m dancing with the world’s most jaded lover
You don’t flinch when I uncover
All the cracks beneath your smile
God, it’s tragic and beguile
Every kiss feels like a dare
Like you’re halfway out the door but still right there
You love like it's a warzone
But I can't leave this ghost alone

[Verse 2]
Your laugh’s a little bitter, like a drink you didn’t want
Your touch is kind of distant, like you're always on the hunt
You told me not to trust you, said your heart’s a dead-end street
But I swear I saw the sky once, in the way you looked at me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I lie here, bruised in bloom
Tracing shadows in your room
You're the art of sabotage
But damn, I crave the camouflage

[Chorus]
I’m dancing with the world’s most jaded lover
You don't break, you just recover
Every silence, sharp and clean
Like a knife behind the screen
You love me like a myth
Like I’m some old dream you can’t admit
You burn like you're alone
But I can't leave this ghost alone

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the fool that stayed
Hoping you’d believe in fate
But even broken hearts still beat
And yours keeps time with mine, off-key

[Final Chorus]
I'm tangled in the arms of the world's most jaded lover
We’re both faking sleep under thin, cold covers
You say love's just passing time
But you linger every line
You love like it’s the end
But somehow start again
You haunt me like your own
And I can’t leave this ghost alone
