I Shouldn’t Want You

[Verse 1]
Your shadow’s in my doorway
Lip print on a glass I washed twice
Every room still tastes like you
Every mirror shows your eyes
You laugh inside my voicemail
Three weeks old
I play it again
Let it haunt the hallway
Like you’re walking back in
[Pre-Chorus]
I trace your name
On the back of my hand
It fades
It stays
I don’t understand
[Chorus]
I shouldn’t want you
But I do
But I do
But I do (yeah)
Every bad decision
Leads me right back to you
You burn right through me
Like you always knew you would
I shouldn’t want you
But it hurts how good it feels to want you
[Verse 2]
Your jacket on my chair still
Smells like a fight and a ride home late
Red nails on my shoulder
Left marks I can’t translate
Friends say you’re a car crash
I swear I love the spinning glass
Slow motion in my rib cage
Watching us collapse
[Pre-Chorus]
I kiss the bruise
Just to feel it again
You’re in the wound
You’re under my skin
[Chorus]
I shouldn’t want you
But I do
But I do
But I do (so cruel)
Every mad temptation
Pulls me deeper into you
You burn right through me
Like you always knew you could
I shouldn’t want you
But it hurts how good it feels to want you
[Bridge]
You say my name like a promise
Then break it between your teeth
I swear that I’m walking away
But you’re waiting at the end of the street
Call my bluff
Pull me close
I’m addicted to the way you lie
If loving you is losing
Why do I feel so alive? (so alive)
[Chorus]
I shouldn’t want you
But I do
But I do
But I do (oh)
Every mad confession
Is a prayer I aim at you
You burn right through me
Turn my never into “I would”
I shouldn’t want you
But it hurts how good it feels
Hurts how good it feels
To want you

pop, Brooding art-pop / dream-pop hybrid with male vocals; slow, pulsing low-end and distant pads that swell into an indie-cinematic wall of sound. Verses sit in a hushed, intimate register over minimal bass and muted percussion; pre-chorus adds tremolo guitars and rising synth swells. First chorus drops into a seductive, heavy bass groove with tight drums and reverb-soaked backing vocals; second drop hits harder with distorted textures, widened stereo field, and a glitchy vocal chop echoing the hook., seductive, dream pop, art pop
