Kind of Night

I thought it would be fun to get ready for the party together
I thought maybe you wouldn't roll your eyes at all my endeavours
I thought maybe you'd say I look pretty
But you stopped seeing me that way
Too bad I'm not perfect like you

I want a red lipstick kind of night
Messy, but you'd gladly hold me tight
Walking home from the party
Scarlet smiles, sweet like home to me
I want a red lipstick kind of night
Sentimental, raw, not falsified
Summer perfume like honey
Naming streetlights for company
But that's not your kind of night

I bet everyone wonders why we're still together
Wanted one pic of us having fun (wow so fun)
You frowned at each camera shutter
I thought maybe you'd say you'll walk me home
Where I go is where you'll never stay
Being me is what drove you away

I want a red lipstick kind of night
Messy, but you'd gladly hold me tight
Walking home from the party
Scarlet smiles, sweet like home to me
I want a red lipstick kind of night
Sentimental, raw, not falsified
Summer perfume like honey
Naming streetlights for company
But that's not your kind of night

If I plan a funeral
For who we used to be
You'd grab shame by the pocketful
And throw the guilt towards me
Too careless to bring flowers
Snatch some dandelions from a field
So dead and broken, paint them yellow
Paint yourself to be the hero
That's what you always do

I was a red lipstick kind of night
Messy, but you'd gladly hold me tight
Walking home from the party
Scarlet smiles, you were home to me, yeah
I was a red lipstick kind of night
Glamorous in rose gold, dazzling bright
Summer perfume like honey
Naming streetlights for company
But that's not your kind of night

You've never liked the night

Yeah that's okay, I didn't really want to go the party anyways... okay cool, bye
