[Intro]
Yeah. Listen close now.
I had to do it.
Rip the bandage off.
Face the consequences.
[Verse 1]
I had to do it, had to rip the bandage completely off today
Face the consequences, no matter what they're gonna say
It’s been eating me up inside for months, heavy on my mind
Maybe it’s just my usual excuse to run, leaving it behind
Yeah, you know my M-O, trying to hide all this burning pain
Of a forbidden love that left us standing out in the rain
And I knew from the very beginning when our paths crossed through
I should have never even opened up my mouth or talked to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I had to do it though, I had to risk it all on the line
But fear is a controller, knotting my stomach this time
Afraid of the heavy secrets that we choose to closely hold
Walking through the shadows while the truth is getting cold
(Vibrations deep, watch me break it!)
(Bring the rhythm back!)
[Beat Drop]
[Chorus]
(R-R-Rip it off, face the consequence!)
(M-M-M-O, yeah, it’s time to run!)
No more skin on skin, no more hiding the pain
Ripped the bandage off and I’m ending the game!
Knowing you never really wanted me for me in this place
But just the fleeting temptation of our secret space!
(Temptation high, yeah!)
[Post-Chorus]
(No more contact, no more touch, yeah)
No more tears falling down on this ground
(No more contact, no more touch, yeah)
Taking back my crown, turning it around!
[Verse 2]
No more tears, no more touch, no more skin on skin tonight
I will never be able to taste your lips or hold you in the light
And it was me, it was always me choosing the final place to stand
My M-O taking over, running far away from this broken land
Now I fear for your life because we crossed the line into the dark
And I know they won't ever let it go, snuffing out the spark
Yeah, they won't ever let it go, keeping tabs on where we hide
So I'm packing up the wreckage and I'm locking it inside!
[Pre-Chorus]
I had to do it though, I had to risk it all on the line
But fear is a controller, knotting my stomach this time
Afraid of the heavy secrets that we choose to closely hold
Walking through the shadows while the truth is getting cold
[Bridge]
They won't ever let it go, the line is drawn deep in the stone
So no more contact, no more whispers on the phone
I have to save your life, I have to walk right out the door
Protecting what is left, and I am running out the floor!
(Watch me run, watch me take flight!)
[Chorus]
[Acapella]
R-R-Rip it off, face the consequence...
M-M-M-O, yeah, it’s time to run...
[Full Force Drop]
No more skin on skin, no more hiding the pain!
Ripped the bandage off and I’m ending the game!
Knowing you never really wanted me for me in this place!
But just the fleeting temptation of our secret space!
[Outro]
No more contact. (No more contact)
No more touch. (No more touch)
No more skin on skin.
I will never taste your lips again.
It was me. My M-O.
Run.
(Watch me run. Erasing the past. Reclaim the peace.)
[Fade Out]
