Lover’s Sin by Redrum_NickMeadows - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro clean, hollow]

Dim streetlights and cigarette smoke

Phone buzzing underneath my coat

Your voice cuts through the midnight air

“Baby, meet me there”

I should say no

I should let you go

But every time you call my name

I lose control

[Verse 1 low scream]

I wait for your call in the dead of night

Your name on my screen like a warning light

You whisper softly, “Don’t make a sound”

Like I’m just another secret you hide around

I throw on my coat and leave my life behind

Every single time you say you need me tonight

I know your hands still wear that gold

But I melt every time you pull me close

[Pre-Chorus clean, fragile]

I hate the way you make me stay

Like I’m addicted to the pain

You give me just enough to breathe

Then disappear for weeks again

[Chorus melodic, haunting]

I gave you my heart

You burned me alive

Left me hanging from your lies

Just to keep your secret life

Late night rendezvous

Cheap motel perfume

You touch me like you love me

Then vanish with the moon

Lover sin

Pull me in

I know I should leave

But I need you again

[Verse 2 scream]

I stare at the ceiling after you leave

Wondering why I’m never what you need

You kiss my neck and call me yours

Then walk right back through her front door

I dropped my world just to make you smile

Sat alone here all this while

You take my body, steal my peace

And leave me begging on my knees

[Bridge soft, almost whispered clean]

You only love me in the shadows

Only want me after dark

I became your guilty pleasure

While you tore apart my heart

Every promise tastes like poison

Every touch just cuts me deeper

I’m the secret you keep hidden

Still pretending I can keep you

[Breakdown slow, suffocating — stripped back, soft layers building]

I know you’ll never love me right

But I still wait up every night

Another whisper

Another lie

Another piece of me that dies

[soft]

You take…

You take…

You take everything…

And I still run when you pull

my strings

YOU PULL MY STRINGS [x2]

[Final Chorus desperate, higher]

I gave you my soul

You fed it to the flames

Another hidden lover

Too ashamed to say my name

Late night rendezvous

Fogged up windows blur

You always leave before the sunrise

And I always take you back

Lover sin

Lover sin

I’m drowning slowly

Underneath your skin

[Outro spoken word — instruments fading]

Your voice shakes through the phone again

“Baby, can I come over?”

And God help me…

[soft]

I still say yes

[full band]

So I wait outside in the pouring rain

Like a fool chained to your name

Headlights glow at 3 AM

And I fall apart all over again

You kiss me softly like you mean it

Hold me close just long enough

To make me think this time is different

Before disappearing with the sun

And when your taillights fade away

The silence cuts me like a knife

I lay awake beside the wreckage

Of another borrowed night

I know I’m just your secret

A place you run when love gets hard

But even while you break me

I still give you every part

Your number lights my screen again…

And I already know

I’ll answer..
