[Verse 1]
He walked in like thunder, boots on the floor
Eyes like a warning, heart like a war
Every word he said was a dare or a threat
And that black leather jacket hadn't failed him yet
He lit up the room and burned it down too
Had a goddamn grin that could cut straight through
He was chaos wrapped in a midnight shell
And I swore I'd never be like him, until
[Pre-Chorus]
I found it in the back of his closet, dust and regret
Slipped it on, and I swear I felt his silhouette
[Chorus]
Now I wear that goddamn black leather jacket
Likе it's stitched with sin and static (yeah)
Every movе I make feels tragic
But I lean in, I can't shake the habit
It's not just style, it's a goddamn magnet
Pulls me into the fire, I let it
He made it look like power, now I get it
[Post-Chorus]
I talk like him, I walk like him
In this black leather jacket
[Verse 2]
He had lovers and liars, all in a line
Said, "truth's just a story that you dress up fine"
He'd laugh like the world was his private joke
And that goddamn jacket wore every smoke
I watched him fall, slow-motion crash
But even then, he looked cool in the ash
Now I'm the echo of his old parade
And I wear it like armor, like I'm not afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
It's more than leather, it's a legacy stitched in pain
I feel him in my shadow, whispering my name
[Chorus]
So I wear that goddamn black leather jacket
Like it's stitched with sin and static
Every move I make feels tragic
But I lean in, I can't shake the habit
It's not just style, it's a goddamn magnet
Pulls me into the fire, I let it
He made it look like power, now I get it
[Post-Chorus]
I break like him, I ache like him
In this black leather jacket
[Bridge]
I tried to be better, I tried to be clean
But the jacket fits perfect, like it's part of me
I talk like him, walk like him, fall like him too
And every goddamn mirror shows a darker view
[Breakdown]
It's not just a coat, it's a curse I wear
A ghost in the lining, a dare in the air
I could burn it, bury it, throw it away
But I'd still feel him in me every day
[Chorus]
So I wear that goddamn black leather jacket
Like it's stitched with sin and static
Every move I make feels tragic
But I lean in, I can't shake the habit
It's not just style, it's a goddamn magnet
Pulls me into the fire, I let it
He made it look like power, now I get it
I live like him, I sin like him
[Outro]
In this black leather jacket
