Verse 1
You don’t touch me, you claim me
With the look you give across the room
You don’t chase me, you wait
Like you know I’ll come undone for you
I swear I was fine before your eyes
Before your silence learned my name
Now every thought is a compromise
Between my sanity and your flame
Pre-Chorus
You feel like a secret I shouldn’t keep
Like a wound I won’t let heal
I tell myself this is just a want
But my body knows it’s real
Chorus
I don’t want love, I want the ache
The part of you I shouldn’t take
I want the rush, the crash, the need
I want you haunting me
I want the pull, the loss of control
I want you deep inside my soul
If obsession’s wrong, let me drown
I want you all, I want you now
Verse 2
You never promise, you just exist
And somehow that hurts the most
You leave me shaking with almosts
And wanting what you never show
I hate how quiet you get in my head
Like you’re living behind my eyes
You don’t even have to touch me
To make me come alive
Pre-Chorus
I try to starve this feeling out
But it feeds on every breath
You’re the craving I can’t deny
The sweetest kind of death
Chorus
I don’t want love, I want the ache
The way you make my backbone shake
I want the heat, the need, the plea
I want you ruining me
I want the high, the after-burn
I want the lesson I won’t learn
If this is poison, pour it down
I want you all, I want you now
Bridge
Say you don’t care, I’ll hear a lie
Say nothing and I’ll stay
Your distance feels like foreplay
And I hate myself for wanting it this way
If you walked away, I’d let you go
But I’d feel you everywhere
In every touch that isn’t yours
In every breath, I swear
Final Chorus
This isn’t love, it’s want and pain
It’s pleasure dressed in chains
It’s me pretending I don’t need you
While begging you to stay
I don’t want safe, I don’t want slow
I want the part you never show
If losing me is the cost somehow
I want you all, I want you now
Outro
I don’t want forever…
I want the feeling you leave behind
