Scars On The Sheets

[Verse 1]
You pull up at 2 AM
Headlights cutting through my shame
You don’t even say my name
Just walk in
Drop your keys
Same game
Jaw clenched when you kiss my mouth
Taste the words we never say out loud
Every touch a loaded dare
You hate me
But you’re everywhere
[Chorus]
If you hate me
Hurt me harder
Leave your fingerprints in my armor
Turn my skin into a war you wanna win
Tear me up
Don’t say you’re sorry
Use my body like a story
You can burn and you can scream
Just don’t leave me with the silence in between
[Verse 2]
Hands rough when you pull my hair
Swear you’re done
Then drag me up the stairs
Every breath a threat
A plea
You punish you by punishing me
We’re a bruise that never heals
Digging deeper just to feel
You say “I can’t stand your face”
Then beg me
“don’t you walk away”
[Chorus]
If you hate me
Hurt me harder
Leave your fingerprints in my armor
Turn my skin into a war you wanna win
Tear me up
Don’t say you’re sorry
Use my body like a story
You can burn and you can scream
Just don’t leave me with the silence in between
[Bridge]
We don’t talk about the mornings
How the coffee tastes like guilt
How the mirror cracks around us
Every time we say we’ll quit
But you’re already at my door now (hey)
Already breathing down my neck
And I’m opening
I’m open
To the wreck
To the wreck
[Chorus]
If you hate me
Hurt me harder
Leave your fingerprints in my armor
Turn my skin into a war you wanna win
Tear me up
Don’t say you’re sorry
Use my body like a story
You can burn and you can scream
Just don’t leave me with the silence in between

Gritty alt-pop with male vocals, distorted bass and roomy drums. Verses stay tense and low, close-mic whisper-sing, then explode into a wide, shout-along chorus with layered doubles and ragged harmonies. Guitars push from muted palm-mutes to blown-out power chords; bridge pulls the energy back to almost acapella, then slams into a final, cathartic hook.
