In the moonlight
When it's starting to rain
You're standing so close to the fire
You can hear the drops whizzle in the flame
And it feels all right
Feels like you're splitting in two
You're holding onto your heart
You used to let it unravel and spark
Burning you up
Breaking you down
But now you sew patches to cover where love left a scar
That's la mode noire
And you are beautiful though you don't know that you are
You are you are
And when there's good light
When your seams show through
You just wanna be you just wanna be
Left to fray and let wind tangle you up all night
And when the clouds come around
That's when you start your kindling heart
You build it on up you burn it right down
Over and over we love like we're living in the dark
And sometimes we are
And you are beautiful though you don't know that you are
You are you are
You are you are
You tear off your patches you show us where love left a scar
La mode noire
And you are beautiful hope that you know that you are
You are you are
You are you are
You are you are
You are you are
