You kissed me slow in a neon confessional We danced on the edge of a world turned cruel Your hands like smoke, slipping through my youth You promised me heaven, but left me with sorrow Oh, the moonlight lies when it paints your name In silver streaks across my windowpane Now the roses cry, and the jukebox sighs Play our song just one more time Oh, my love, my tragedy You're the scar in my symphony In every dream, you're a stolen rhyme Forever mine in the rearview light Forever mine in the rearview Diner lights, cherry-cola tears You loved me fiercely, then vanished for years Red dress dreams in a motel haze You're a shimmering film in my marble days Palm trees sway like a lullaby Singing goodbye, my doomed valentine Oh, the city murmurs your forgotten tune As I waltz alone under a blood-red Moon The champagne is flat, but the pain is divine Burn our bed, but keep your lies Oh, my love, my tragedy You're the scar in my symphony In every dream, you're a stolen rhyme Forever mine in the rearview light Forever mine in the rearview Do you still taste my tears in the Malibu rain? Or is my name just ash in your cocaine veins? The ocean whispers, he's gone, he's gone But I'm still here, dancing with the dawn Oh, my love, my tragedy You're the scar in my symphony In every dream, you're a stolen rhyme Forever mine in the rearview light Forever mine in the rearview Do you still taste my tears in the Malibu rain? Or is my name just ash in your cocaine veins? The ocean whispers, he's gone, he's gone But I'm still here, dancing with the dawn
