[Intro]
Oh darling—
(darling…)
You look like trouble tastes good on you
(so good…)
[Verse 1]
Lipstick promises, lies on my tongue
Say you hate the thrill but you already spun
Every warning label peeling off your skin
You don’t want salvation, you just want in
Glass heels clicking down a one-way street
Every heartbeat begging me to cheat
I smile like a sin you won’t confess
Pull you closer just to feel you stress
[Pre-Chorus]
You know I’m bad news, say it again
(again…)
But your hands don’t listen when your mouth pretends
[Chorus]
I’m the sweetest kind of habit
(habit…)
You swear you’re done, then you grab it
(grab it…)
Say you’re finished, but you don’t pull back
I’m a kiss with consequences
Pretty lies, false pretenses
You drink me down knowing that’s a fact
I’m the hurt you don’t wanna quit
Yeah, I’m the habit you live with
[Verse 2]
I play nice just to sharpen the blade
Love sounds better when it’s slightly deranged
You call it fate, I call it control
I don’t steal hearts—I repossess souls
Neon sins in a velvet laugh
You swear this time’ll be the last
But you shake when I say your name
(say my name…)
Like pain’s the only thing you crave
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you’re leaving, say you’re clean
Then crawl right back when you need the sting
(the sting…)
[Chorus]
I’m the sweetest kind of habit
(habit…)
Every vow bends when you have it
(have it…)
Every step just another relapse
I’m a smile with bad intentions
Cherry red, pure temptation
You beg for mercy, then you ask
I’m the truth you keep circling
Yeah, I’m the habit you’re hurting in
[Bridge- spoken, intimate]
Don’t act surprised
(surprised…)
You knew my name, you knew the price
[Final Chorus]
I’m the sweetest kind of habit
(habit…)
The one you hate that you can’t quit
(can’t quit…)
Say my name like it’s a cure
I’m the danger you defend
Your favorite way the story ends
You knew the risk and still swore
If loving me’s a losing game
You’d play it twice just the same
Yeah—I’m the habit
[Outro]
Bottom’s up, baby
(bottom’s up…)
You never wanted clean anyway
