[Verse 1]
Seen you walking out the corner store
Name tag hanging, keys on a string
I was two cars back in the parking lot
Watching every small little thing
You laughed too long at the cashier
Wrote his number on your hand in pen
I went home, wrote your handle on the wall
Scribbled it again and again (again)
I know the route that you take at night
Trash can, dog bark, porch light hum
Your lock sticks twice on the second turn
I mouth your code with my tongue
[Chorus]
If I can't have you, no one will
That’s the promise, that’s the thrill
You don't even know I’m in your life
Under your window, holding a knife
Love so deep it’s hard to breathe
Carved your initials into my sleeve
If I can't have you, swear I will
Turn this crush into a kill (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Your page lit up at 2:14
"Out with friends" and a blurry shot
I zoomed in on every face I saw
Picked the one I hated a lot
Tracked his plates through the neighborhood
Found his mother's house on a map
Sat outside till the sprinklers hit
Wrote your name on his welcome mat
You posted "somebody say hi"
Typed a thousand drafts, never sent
Rather live in the shadow of your phone
Than hear you say what you meant
[Chorus]
If I can't have you, no one will
That’s the promise, that’s the thrill
You don't even know I’m in your life
Under your window, holding a knife
Love so deep it’s hard to breathe
Carved your initials into my sleeve
If I can't have you, swear I will
Turn this crush into a kill (turn it to a kill)
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to half-time, whispered ad-libs]
I got your schedule, passwords, past
Every secret that you ever trashed
Every ex, every text unsent
Every place every Sunday you went
You call it fear, I call it fate (yeah)
Two lungs sharing the same airspace
You lock your door, I lock my jaw
Till I taste your final breath and pause
[Chorus]
If I can't have you, no one will
That’s the promise, that’s the thrill
You don't even know I’m in your life
Under your window, holding a knife
Love so deep it’s hard to breathe
Carved your initials into my sleeve
If I can't have you, swear I will
Turn this crush into a kill (into a kill)
