Sweet Like Damage

VERSE 1]

You say I’m sugar in your veins

But baby, sugar rots the frame

You like me bitter, soft and torn

You want a flame, not where it’s warm

I’m the ache you beg to feel

Kiss me deep enough to peel

You say I taste just like regret

You haven’t had the worst of me yet

⸻

Sweet like damage, soft like sin

You’ll wear my hurt under your skin

Bleed in pink, but break in black

You’ll miss me more when I don’t come back

Call me crazy, call me cruel

But you can’t stop — I made the rules

Sweet like damage, sweet like me

A nightmare wrapped in pretty

⸻

You held the sharp end just for fun

Now look how deep the damage runs

You called me poison, kissed me slow

And prayed I wouldn’t let you go

⸻

You say you miss the girl you knew

She’s buried underneath your truth

⸻

Sweet like damage, soft like sin

You’ll wear my love like second skin

Touch the ghost, forget the girl

You’re stuck inside my wicked world

Call me heartbreak, call me queen

But I’m the one you see in dreams

Sweet like damage, sweet like me

You begged for this, now bleed

⸻

I warned you soft

You loved me loud

Now you wear my name

Like broken vows

⸻

Sweet like damage

Sweet like… me.
