We never met at the ball, but I saw your veil fall You looked like a queen, trapped behind your marble wall They wrote our names in gold, a tale already told But we were never meant to do what we were told You kissed me in the shadow of a vow you didn’t make I pulled you from the silence, taught your heart to break Now you wear a crown of secrets, heavy as your breath Dancing with temptation, flirting close to death We signed a love we never read Slipped through lines the kingdom said You’re the curse and I'm the thief Taking more than just belief No, we don’t play innocent Our desire’s decadent Burn the books, rewrite the end Let the fairytale descend (Dark in the dark, we reign) (Dark in the dark, no shame) We don’t need saving from the flame We light it up, we own the game Your touch is like a dagger dressed in silk and sin A royal smile hiding all the wars within They crowned us out of duty, we undressed the crown Built our empire from the moments we tore down You kissed me in the fire, and I forgot the cold We traded blood for stories no one ever told You wear your danger like a dress made out of glass And I break just to feel you pass We signed a love we never read Slipped through lines, the kingdom said You’re the curse and I'm the thief Taking more than just belief No, we don’t play innocent Our desire’s decadent Burn the books, rewrite the end Let the fairytale descend So let them talk in towers tall We’ll write our names on every wall No prince, no peace, no sweet regret Just love they won’t forget We signed a love we never read Slipped through lines, the kingdom said You’re the curse and I'm the thief Taking more than just belief No, we don’t play innocent Our desire’s decadent Burn the books, rewrite the end Let the fairytale descend Once upon a midnight deep We found a love they couldn’t keep (Dark in the dark, we reign) (Dark in the dark, no shame)
