[Intro – sparse, slow heartbeat kick]
(Soft inhale, reverb drip)
[Female Vocal] whisper)
If you’re gonna break me…
break me beautifully.
(Male vocal whisper)
If you’re gonna take me down…
take me willingly.
⸻
[Verse 1 – FEMALE VOCAL]
(F)
If you’re gonna hurt me, make it slow,
Look in my eyes and let it show.
Don’t pretend we’re innocent—
we crossed that line the moment
your hands found mine.
If this is wrong, then let it be,
I’m tired of fighting gravity.
Your darkness pulls me every time—
and honestly?
I don’t mind.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – FEMALE VOCAL]
(F)
If this is how we end tonight,
Pull me close
and hold me tight.
Don’t leave me guessing in the light—
If you’re gonna ruin me…
ruin me right.
⸻
[Chorus – BOTH VOCALS]
(Both)
Ruin me right,
If you’re taking my breath.
Leave fingerprints
on what’s left of my chest.
Ruin me right,
Don’t dare be kind—
If we’re falling apart,
Let me lose my mind.
([Female Vocal]
Break every promise,
[male Vocal]
Cross every line—
(Both)
But if you ruin me…
make it divine.
⸻
[Verse 2 – MALE VOCAL]
(M)
You say you’re scared, but you don’t move,
You stay right here like I’m the truth.
Don’t act like you don’t crave the flame—
You whisper “stop,”
but breath says “stay.”
You want a villain? Then choose me.
I ruin soft things easily.
But something in the way you break
makes every risk
worth the ache.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – MALE VOCAL]
(M)
Don’t turn away, don’t close your eyes—
Look at me
while your fear divides.
If you want pain wrapped up in light—
Then I’ll ruin you…
and do it right.
⸻
[Chorus – BOTH VOCALS, bigger]
(Both)
Ruin me right,
If you take my heart.
Carve your truth
in the softest part.
([Female Vocal]
Yeah, ruin me right,
(male Vocal]
Let me feel the fall—
(Both)
If we lose everything…
I want it all.
Break what you must,
(Both)
I’ll still hold tight—
If you’re gonna ruin me…
ruin me right.
⸻
[Bridge – INTERTWINED VOCALS]
([Female Vocal] whisper)
I don’t want mercy…
I want you.
(Male Vocal] low)
I don’t want distance…
I want the truth.
([Female Vocal] stronger)
If we burn, at least it’s real.
(male Vocal]
If it hurts, at least we feel.
(Both, rising)
We’re too far gone to turn tonight—
So ruin me, babe…
ruin me right.
⸻
[Final Chorus – BOTH, climactic, emotional]
(Both)
Ruin me right,
If we fall from grace.
If this ends in ashes—
at least leave a trace.
([Female Vocal]
Ruin me right,
(male Vocal]
Don’t walk away now.
(Both)
Break me open
and show me how.
Pull every truth
out by the spine—
If you ruin me…
make it
a sign.
⸻
[OUTRO – whispered callback, both voices fading]
([Female Vocal] whisper)
Ruin me right…
don’t be gentle tonight.
(Make vocal Whisper)
Ruin me right…
I’ll meet you
in the firelight.
