Tongue like a threat

[VERSE 1]  
You pull me by the collar to the edge of your bed  
Smile like a warning sign, tilt your head  
You say, “don’t touch, just look, just sweat”  
While you trace my jaw like you’re placing a bet  
You drag your nails down, stop right at my chest  
Say, “I like you better when you’re out of breath”  
Every inch closer, but you still won’t let  
Me have a taste of what you soak in those pants

[PRE]  
You kiss my neck, then pull away, laughing  
You know exactly what you’re doing, it’s a habit  

[CHORUS]  
You got a tongue like a threat, baby, say my name slow  
Every syllable hits like a blade on my throat  
You don’t even have to touch, I’m already a mess  
Just watching that mouth, watching those lips  
You lean in close like you’re granting me death  
Yeah, you got a tongue like a threat  

[VERSE 2]  
I sit on your lap, but you’re facing the door  
Whisper every dirty thing that you’re saving me for  
Hands behind your back, but your words don’t quit  
Painting pictures of your body wrapped around my hips  
You say, “maybe later, if you play nice”  
Then you bite my ear like you’re rolling dice  
Every little promise that you drip, drip, drip  
Got me praying for the moment that your spine finally flips  

[PRE]  
You lick your lips, then pull away, laughing  
You know exactly what you’re doing, it’s a habit  

[CHORUS]  
You got a tongue like a threat, baby, say my name slow  
Every syllable hits like a blade on my throat  
You don’t even have to touch, I’m already a mess  
Just watching that mouth, watching those lips  
You lean in close like you’re granting me death  
Yeah, you got a tongue like a threat  

[BRIDGE – SOFT]  
(soft)  
Tell me what you’re gonna do, but don’t do it yet  
Make me beg for every second, every drop of your sweat  
Keep me tied up in your voice ‘til I forget my head…  

(Whisper soft)  
THEN PUT YOUR MOUTH WHERE YOUR PROMISES LED  

[BREAKDOWN]  (whisper)
TEETH ON MY SKIN, NO MERCY, NO REST  
SAY YOU’RE GONNA RUIN ME, MAKE GOOD ON THE THREAT  
PULL ME UNDER ‘TIL I CAN’T CATCH BREATH  
DROWN ME IN THE WORDS YOU’VE BEEN HOLDING IN YOUR CHEST  
IF I BLACK OUT WITH YOUR NAME ON MY LIPS  
AT LEAST I DIED OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS  

[FINAL CHORUS]  
You got a tongue like a threat, baby, say my name slow  
Every syllable hits like a blade on my throat  
Now your hands are on my neck and your mouth’s on my chest  
Every kiss cashing in every tease, every text  
If this is how you kill me, go on, take that step  
Yeah, you got a tongue like a threat
