Love Me Harder

[Verse 1]
Bite my tongue till it tastes like rust
Say my name like you’re spitting dust
Eyes say “stay” while your hands say “run”
Every word like a loaded gun
You turn love to a dare
To a test
Every touch is a bruise in my chest
Still I’m wired to your bitter spark
Chasing heat in a house gone dark
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna love me
Love me harder
Pull me under
Push me farther
Don’t you dare be soft on me tonight (mm)
If you’re gonna break me
Break me cleaner
Cut me deeper
Make it meaner
If I’m gonna lose
Then let me lose this right
Love me harder tonight
[Verse 2]
Close my eyes
You’re the war in my head
Every “sorry” a thread turning red
You say “stay” then you slip through my grip
I keep bleeding for the taste of your lips
I’m so tired of this half-lit ache
Either burn me or let it all break
I’m still here
On the edge of your fire
Breathing smoke
Getting high on the wire
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna love me
Love me harder
Pull me under
Push me farther
Don’t you dare be soft on me tonight (oh)
If you’re gonna break me
Break me cleaner
Cut me deeper
Make it meaner
If I’m gonna lose
Then let me lose this right
Love me harder tonight
[Bridge]
Say it with your hands
With your teeth
With your rage (yeah)
I don’t want safe
I don’t want tame
Hit me with the truth like a storm to the face
Either drown me in it
Or leave me in the rain
[Chorus]
If you’re gonna love me
Love me harder
Pull me under
Push me farther
Don’t you dare be soft on me tonight (tonight)
If you’re gonna break me
Break me cleaner
Cut me deeper
Make it meaner
If I’m gonna lose
Then let me lose this right
Love me harder tonight

pop, Alt R&B / alt pop, female vocals. Ethereal pads and airy vocal chops float over an extremely bass-forward, fast, syncopated groove. Whispery verses with intimate close-mic delivery and subtle harmonies; chorus hits with distorted low-end, brighter topline, and stacked chants on the hook. Reverb-washed percussion, sidechained synth swells, and glitchy ear-candy fills; final chorus adds octave-doubled lead and ad-lib runs that ride the beat to a sharp cutoff., r&b
