Venom Heartbreak

[Verse 1]
You kissed me
Like a promise on a blade
Sweet on your tongue
But it tore through everything I made
You said forever
Like a dare that you could break
Left your jacket on my chair
Then you vanished with the day
[Chorus]
Venom heartbreak
Running through my veins
Through my veins
Slow ache
Every time I hear your name
Hear your name
You were sugar on the rim
But you burned me from within
Now it's venom heartbreak
Dripping down my ribs again
[Verse 2]
I still check
Every shadow by the door
Your ghost stays
In the cracks of every floor
You play saint
In the stories that you tell
But you branded me with doubt
Like a private kind of hell
[Chorus]
Venom heartbreak
Running through my veins
Through my veins
Slow ache
Every time I hear your name
Hear your name
You were sugar on the rim
But you burned me from within
Now it's venom heartbreak
Dripping down my ribs again
[Bridge]
You said "baby
Just relax"
While you pulled the knife out fast
Left me bleeding in the dark (oh)
Now I wear these little scars
Like a line of crooked stars
Spelling out the way you carved me up
[Chorus]
Venom heartbreak
Running through my veins
Through my veins
Slow ache
Every time I hear your name
Hear your name
You were sugar on the rim
But you burned me from within
Now it's venom heartbreak
Poison in my pulse again

Dark alt-pop with trap drums and distorted bass swells, male vocals dripping attitude in the verses and wounded power in the hook. Minimal, pulsing synths in the verses; chorus explodes with stacked, slightly detuned harmonies and a widening stereo field. Sub-heavy low end and sharp snares keep it menacing while a reverb-soaked lead line adds tragic, cinematic flair.
