Verse 1

She sings low like she’s reading my spine

Every note feels a little too mine

White dress glowing under blue light

Like she’s already seen my last night

I’ve bought silence, I’ve bought respect

But the way she looks at me— I’m in debt

She doesn’t ask, she doesn’t bend

She just smiles like she knows the end

Pre-Chorus

I tell myself I’m in control

But she’s inside my pulse, my skull

Chorus

She knows my name

I never said it out loud

She knows my shame

I feel it when she’s not around

I swear she’s not even looking at me

Still my hands are shaking in my seat

She doesn’t touch, she doesn’t claim

But God…

She knows my name

Verse 2

I’ve met women dressed like desire

But none of them ever sparked this fire

She don’t want favors, she don’t want keys

She don’t need nothing from men like me

The room goes quiet when she breathes

Like something’s listening underneath

I laugh it off, order another drink

But I don’t like the way the mirrors blink

Pre-Chorus

There’s a sound behind every song

Like footsteps counting all night long

Chorus

She knows my name

I feel it carved into the tune

She knows my game

And I think she wants me doomed

I say I’ll leave, I say I’m fine

But I’m still here every night

She doesn’t chase, she doesn’t stay

She just sings…

And I decay

Bridge

Men like me don’t disappear

We own the rooms, we buy the fear

But lately I don’t sleep alone

I hear her voice inside my phone

No missed calls, no trace, no proof

Still her shadow’s on my roof

Break (spoken / half-sung)

She smiled tonight…

I think that was goodbye.

Final Chorus (slower, stripped)

She knows my name

I feel it slipping from my mouth

She knows my face

Like she’s already written me out

If they ask where I went wrong

Tell them I just heard a song

Soft as velvet, dark as blame

And she…

She knew my name

Outro

Blue Velvet’s closing

Lights go low

If she’s not guilty

Then why do I feel…

Like I won’t make it home?
