Klepto

[bass guitar] [bass drum]
(Verse 1)
She pulls me in
Cuts me loose
Softest sin
Hardest truth

Dead calm eyes
Loaded smile
You feel safe
For a while

(Pre-Chorus)
She don’t beg
She don’t plead
Gets inside
What you need

(Chorus)
She’s a klepto
Steals your heart
Leaves you empty
From the start
Good men break
Just to prove
They’d do anything
For you

(Verse 2)
Crossed my lines
Lost my name
Burned my faith
Fed the flame

You don’t run
You don’t fight
You give in
Every time

[Guitar chug] [bass guitar] [bass drum]
(Pre-Chorus)
Say you’re done
Say you’re through
She just laughs
Breaks you in two

(Chorus)
She’s a klepto
Cold and clean
Takes your soul
Leaves the scene
Good men fall
Bad things start
When she’s picking
At your heart

(Post-Chorus (chant / stomp))
Take it—take it
Take it all
Take it—take it
Watch me fall

(Bridge (half-time, dark))
I was straight
Now I bend
She don’t love
She pretends

If this pain
Makes me feel
Then the hurt
Must be real

(Breakdown (drop guitars))
I gave up
All control
Just to feel
Something whole

(Final Chorus (double vocals, bigger))
She’s a klepto
No disguise
You don’t see it
Till it’s gone
I’d do wrong
I’d go low
Just to keep you
Just to know

(Outro)
She don’t break hearts
She takes them
