[Intro — whispered]
Yeah…
I keep everything quiet now.
My plans. My moves. My dreams.
But you?
You’re the one thing
I’m terrible at hiding.
[Hook — melodic]
I can hide what I’m thinking
I can hide where I’ve been
I can keep the whole world outside
But I keep letting you in
Got your name in my head
Got your taste on my mind
I keep everything close to my chest
You’re the only thing I can’t hide
Only thing I can’t hide
Only thing I can’t hide
I could disappear tonight
But you’d still know where to find me
[Verse 1]
Two AM, red glow
Your name lighting up my phone
Told myself don’t answer
Then I’m calling you back home
That’s the shit you do to me
Make discipline disappear
I can shut out everybody
But I always want you near
And I hate how good it feels
Knowing you can read my face
One look and you know exactly
Every thought I try to save
I don’t tell ‘em my business
I don’t give away what’s mine
But I’ll tell you every secret
With your body next to mine
Maybe that’s devotion
Maybe I’m in too deep
Either way, when you’re beside me
I finally fucking breathe
[Pre-Hook]
Black room, red lights
Your shadow tangled into mine
Three Xs on my chain
While your fingers trace the lines
[Hook]
I can hide what I’m thinking
I can hide where I’ve been
I can keep the whole world outside
But I keep letting you in
Got your name in my head
Got your taste on my mind
I keep everything close to my chest
You’re the only thing I can’t hide
Only thing I can’t hide
Only thing I can’t hide
[Verse 2]
You know the side they never see
When the confidence comes down
When the room ain’t full of people
And there’s nobody around
You know when I’m overthinking
By the way I start to stare
Know when something’s fucking with me
Before I say it’s even there
That’s dangerous
Built these walls for years
You walked straight through the middle
Like they never disappeared
Now your perfume’s on my hoodie
And your voice stays in my head
Swear I almost feel you with me
When I’m lying here in bed
Desire when I want you
Devotion when I stay
Destruction when you touch me
And the old me falls away
Three Xs mean a thousand things
But when you’re next to me
Every one of them means you.
[Bridge — intimate]
If everybody disappears
I know exactly who I’d call
If everything I’ve built burns down
You can have what’s left of it all
Spent my whole life learning
How to never need somebody
Then you came around…
And made a liar out of me.
[Final Hook]
I can hide what I’m thinking
I can hide where I’ve been
I can keep the whole world outside
But I keep letting you in
Got your name in my head
Got your taste on my mind
I keep everything close to my chest
You’re the only thing I can’t hide
Only thing I can’t hide
I could disappear tonight
But you’d still know where to find me
[Outro — whispered]
Desire.
Devotion.
Destruction.
I hide everything from everybody.
Except you.
VEXXX.
Love leaves a mark.
