[Verse 1]

Silver dress and Sunday bruises

Heart still beating where it loses

Neon rivers down the boulevard

Dreams are cheap, but loving you is hard


[Pre-Chorus]

You come around with that holy sin

Whispered lies on my porcelain skin

I know your game, but I let you in

Just one more time... I never win


[Chorus]

Spin me 'round the midnight carousel

Promises that taste like smoke and spell

You say it's love—but darling, I can tell

It's just another ride I know too well


[Verse 2]

Cherry lips and motel windows

Fadеd stars becoming shadows

Playing house in a cheap hotеl

A thousand poems I'll never tell


[Pre-Chorus]

You paint my name like a tragedy

Soft and slow, like a prophecy

I swear I'm done—but you look at me

And I fall back... so willingly


[Chorus]

Spin me 'round the midnight carousel

Promises that taste like smoke and spell

You say it's love—but darling, I can tell

It's just another ride I know too well


[Bridge]

If I could break the spell you cast

Maybe this time we'd be the last

But every time you touch my past

The carousel starts turning fast...


[Outro]

Round and round, I lose myself

Midnight dreams on a broken shelf

You call it love—I know it's hell

Still riding on this carousel...
