[Intro – whisper, distant ad-libs]
Yeah…
You ever love somebody so much it feels like a sickness?
Like… if they walk away, you stop existing?
Yeah… that.
[Verse 1]
You storm in like you own my fate
Lipstick smeared from a lover’s debate
Say you’re done, say you’re through
But you shaking when I touch you
You call me poison, call me wrong
But you stay every time too long
Your nails in my chest like you carving your throne
You don’t want freedom — you want to be owned
[Pre-Chorus]
You love when I grip you close
When my voice drop low and slow
Say you hate how I take control
But you melt when I take your soul
[Chorus – Big dramatic 2000s hook]
I can’t breathe without you near
Every fight just pulls you here
Love so dark, it feels like fate
We don’t heal — we escalate
Chain me down, don’t set me free
If you leave, there’s no more me
Say you’re mine till the sky falls through
I can’t live without you
[Verse 2]
Back against the wall, tension tight
Sweat and whispers in candlelight
You tremble but you don’t pull away
You love when I make you stay
Hands above your head, eyes locked in
You biting your lip like it’s a sin
Say my name like you need that fix
Like I’m your favorite kind of risk
You say, “Why we like this pain?”
But you crave that rush again
Every time I turn to go
You drag me back, you say “no.”
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t want sweet, you want obsessed
Heartbeat pounding in your chest
Say you’re mine, don’t play pretend
If this is wrong, don’t let it end
[Chorus]
I can’t breathe without you near
Every scream turns into tears
Love so toxic, feels so right
We lose ourselves every night
Hold me close, don’t let me move
Jealous rage got something to prove
If you leave, I break in two
I can’t live without you
[Bridge – Falsetto, emotional breakdown]
Ohhhhh…
If you walk away I lose my mind
Ain’t no peace I’m gonna find
You my chaos, you my cure
Only thing that feels secure
Even when we cross that line
Your darkness wrapped in mine
Say forever like it’s true
‘Cause I can’t live without you
[Breakdown – Dramatic spoken Sisqó style]
Girl, I don’t want nobody else touching you
Don’t want nobody else loving you
Call it crazy, call it wrong
But you my weakness, you my song
When you cry, I feel that pain
When you leave, I go insane
You say we’re fire, we’re gasoline
But baby, that’s what makes us mean
[Final Chorus – layered harmonies, desperate]
I can’t breathe without you near
Every touch erase my fear
Love so filthy, love so true
Ain’t no world if it ain’t with you
Lock me in your twisted view
Break my heart if you want to
Just don’t ever say we’re through…
‘Cause I can’t live without you
[Outro – whisper fading]
Toxic…
Possessive…
Obsessed…
But you’re mine.
Sanctuary
