You walked in slow like midnight smoke
Gold light resting on your skin
Every room bent toward you softly
Like you always knew you'd win
I should've left the moment
You smiled that way at me
But loneliness and beautiful women
Have always weakened me
And God
You knew exactly what you were doing
Lady Jane
You made love taste bitter
Now every soft touch
Feels a little colder after you
You kissed me like forever
Then disappeared like perfume
And somehow I still crave
The very thing that ruined me
Lady Jane
Your lipstick on the whiskey glass
Still lives somewhere in my mind
And sometimes certain songs at night
Still pull me back to your side
You held me like a secret
Something dangerous and sweet
Then left me learning
How desire and damage sometimes meet
And honestly
I think that's what still haunts me
Lady Jane
You made love taste bitter
Now every warm room
Feels emptier without your shadow in it
You touched me like devotion
Then vanished without warning
And somehow I still miss
The chaos of your body near mine
Lady Jane
Maybe some people arrive
Just to change the meaning of things
Maybe some kisses stay too long
Even after the person leaves
And maybe I was never meant
To survive you gently
Still
I would've followed you anywhere
Lady Jane
You made love taste bitter
But God…
You made it beautiful too
Now every woman after you
Feels slightly out of focus
Like part of me still belongs
To the ruin you left behind
Lady Jane
Sometimes I still taste your name
In the back of my mouthmore
