[Verse 1]
Shadows stretch across my skin,
I know you’re there before you begin.
Every window, every door,
Your ghost is breathing, wanting more.
[Verse 2]
Pages bleed when I write your name,
Ink is poison, desire the same.
My pulse betrays, my body lies,
I crave the hands that make me cry.
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I run, or do I stay?
Am I your prey, or am I preyed this way?
Fear is fire, and fire is sweet,
Your footsteps drag me off my feet.
[Chorus]
You haunt me, you own my breath,
This dance with you feels like a death.
I hate, I want, I bleed, I burn,
No matter the pain, I’ll always return.
[Post-Chorus (Whisper)]
"Don’t stop… I want you closer.
Don’t stop… I need you rougher."
[Verse 3]
Every warning carves into bone,
But silence screams when I’m alone.
Your shadow marks me, night by night,
I’m terrified, but it feels so right.
[Bridge (Unhinged, almost spoken)]
You tear me open with a stare,
And I beg you still — it isn’t fair.
I want the danger, want the knife,
I want the man who ruins life.
[Chorus (Repeat, louder, unhinged)]
You haunt me, you own my breath,
This dance with you feels like a death.
I hate, I want, I bleed, I burn,
No matter the pain, I’ll always return.
[Outro / Refrain (Soft, breaking whisper)]
You’re the nightmare I can’t erase,
And still I beg for your embrace.
