[Verse 1]
You said you needed
“Just a little space”
So I measured every hallway
Every exit in this place
You’re shaking hands
I’m steady with the tape
If distance is the problem
I’ll erase escape
[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s that name in your phone at 2 AM?
I delete
I delete
You can thank me then
You keep losing all your passwords
How strange
I keep you safe when I rearrange (baby)
[Chorus]
Let me love you
’Til the whole world breaks
Till your lungs burn out
On my perfect name
Let me love you
You don’t get a say
You’re the match
I’m the gas
We can’t look away
Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me love you
All your fears are my favorite game
[Verse 2]
I iron all your shirts
Count the strands of your hair
If devotion feels like needles
Guess I love you everywhere
Your friends don’t really get you
They keep pulling you aside
So I cut them out the picture
Now you’re finally mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep asking why the curtains never move
Every lock
Every block
All for you
You say
“This feels kinda wrong
I can’t breathe”
But you promised that you’d never ever leave (right?)
[Chorus]
Let me love you
’Til the whole world breaks
Till your lungs burn out
On my perfect name
Let me love you
You don’t get a say
You’re the match
I’m the gas
We can’t look away
Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me love you
Every heartbeat beating in my cage
[Bridge]
[Glitch-stuttered break
Whispered vocal]
Shhh
Stay still
I can hear your pulse
Tick
Tick
Tick
On my painted walls
If I can’t have you
Nothing else can
Try to run
I’ll chase you
On my hands
[Chorus]
Let me love you
’Til the whole world breaks
Till your voice cuts out
On my twisted name
Let me love you
You don’t get away
You were born for my arms
You were made this way
Let me love you
Let me love you
(let me love you, hey!)
Let me love you
Till your last wild thought
Screams my name
