A Little Death (Une Petite Mort) Lyrics

In a world of silk and satin

Where old money whispers low

I watched you dance in shadows

Like a rare and radiant show

Your laughter rings like silver

In a room where dreams collide

But I'm just a faded picture

On the wall where love can't hide

Oh this unrequited feeling

Know it's gonna leave me scarred

Like a diamond in the evening

You shine so bright but yet you're still so far

It feels so good it's a little death

Une petite mort I hold my breath

For The lows that follow every high

Your love's the answer but I'm the sigh

You sip your drink like fortune

While I'm drowning in the night

Every glance just a heartbeat

A fleeting spark a fragile light

You're the art hung in a gallery

I'm the dust beneath the frame

Yearning for a taste of passion

In this bittersweet game

Oh this unrequited feeling

Know it's gonna leave me scarred

Like a diamond in the evening

You shine so bright but yet you're still so far

It feels so good it's a little death

Une petite mort I hold my breath

For The lows that follow every high

Your love's the answer but I'm the sigh

In the whispers of the night

I find solace in the pain

Each note a soft reminder

Of what I can't obtain

Like a vintage wine

That I'll never get to taste

I linger in the shadows

While you dance with perfect grace

So I'll raise a glass to longing

In this jazz-infused embrace

For a love that's just a whisper

In a timeless lonely space

It feels so good it's a little death

Une petite mort I'll take each breath

In this dance of hearts unspoken

You're the dream that leaves me broken
