[Intro] nights don't leave
Vinyl crackle, whiskey breath, 808 low, nights don't leave
Wah-wah guitar ghostin' corners while my heart froze, nights don't leave
Smokey backseat confessions, blood on the denim, nights don't leave
I swear on Motown and pills in the ashtray, nights don't leave
[V1] nights don't leave
June rides, T-Bone laughed, we fucked the city raw, nights don't leave
Bell-bottom stains, cheap motel sluts, velvet ropes and law, nights don't leave
Poppin' Xan, slappin' faces, jacked-up fights, teeth on the floor, nights don't leave
Jax passed out in puke, I held his head, sirens at the door, nights don't leave
We chased paper, blew the cash, sold our souls for shows, nights don't leave
Broken promises stacked high, mama cried on the phone, nights don't leave
I slept in backseats, woke to texts from ghosts, brotherhood turned cold, nights don't leave
She sucked my soul for a ring, then fucked my boy for clout, vows sold cheap and sold, nights don't leave
[Pre-Chorus] nights don't leave
Short triplets, heart stutters, guilt rattles my teeth, nights don't leave
Internal echoes, blood on my sleeve, names under grief, nights don't leave
Double-time breath, hustler's regret, I count every theft, nights don't leave
We trade love for a bottle and keep the scars like wreaths, nights don't leave
[Chorus] nights don't leave
Nights don't leave nights don't leave
Nights don't leave nights don't leave
Nights don't leave nights don't leave
(Call and response ad-libs: yeah, uh, damn) nights don't leave
[V2] nights don't leave
Courtroom lights, they asked me where I was, I lied and breathed, nights don't leave
Found a razor behind the amp, blood on the mic, Jax on the sleeve, nights don't leave
We buried truths with whiskey, dug graves with our hands, funerals in the sheets, nights don't leave
Missed flights for memorials, missed calls, missed chances, lost on repeat, nights don't leave
Fast cars, fake friends, stripe poles and cheap thrills, velvet lies on the seat, nights don't leave
I promised forever on a cracked sleeve, broke that vow in the heat, nights don't leave
Mama said get clean, I said next week, then blackout walked the street, nights don't leave
Regrets like receipts, every drug, every cheat, every time I chose the street, nights don't leave
[Pre-Chorus] nights don't leave
Rhythm snaps, trap hats trip, heart runs in half-time, nights don't leave
My tongue tastes iron, swear words like knives, I carve up my lines, nights don't leave
Cold details: glass in the sink, bruises on arms, two AM crimes, nights don't leave
We toast to the dead and laugh until we cry, then stare at the signs, nights don't leave
[Chorus] nights don't leave
Nights don't leave nights don't leave
Nights don't leave nights don't leave
Nights don't leave nights don't leave
(Ad-libs: yeah, ayy, keep it raw) nights don't leave
[Bridge] nights don't leave
Late-night keys, Rhodes hum, I hum T-Bone's name, nights don't leave
Guilt is a tattoo, can't rub it off, can't ever change, nights don't leave
I took that plea to keep the peace, swallowed
