Lyric

After midnight

We stop pretending

After midnight

There’s no defending

You check your phone

Like time still matters

But your hand stays

Where it shouldn’t gather

The city’s quiet

The lights are low

You say we should leave

But you don’t let go

Your shadow moves

Across the glass

Like this moment

Was built to last

The room feels smaller

Every breath

Like the night itself

Is holding its breath

It’s in the silence

In how you breathe

The things we won’t say

Are the loudest things

Every second

Pulls us near

Like the truth

Is standing here

After midnight

Truth gets thin

Lines we drew

Start caving in

After midnight

No disguise

Every “maybe”

Turns to “why?”

After midnight

Nothing hides

Every look

Gives us away

You call this reckless

I call it real

You move closer

Like you need to feel

If this was harmless

We’d step away

But we’re still here

And you don’t look away

Your voice drops lower

Than before

Like you’re opening

One more door

Every rule

We tried to keep

Feels weaker

Every heartbeat

You don’t need darkness

To make it wrong

We crossed that edge

Before too long

You don’t say stop

You don’t say stay

But your eyes

Give it away

After midnight

Say it slow

If we don’t stop

We already know

After midnight

No retreat

Every pulse

Hits too deep

After midnight

Stay this close

If we break

We break the most

After midnight

Don’t pretend

We already know

How this ends

After midnight

Don’t look back

We won’t blame

What we lack
