Dangerous In Private

[Verse 1]
You came through in that oversized sweater
Bare face, hair up, you still the center
Said, "Don't post me, keep this off your phone"
Pulled me closer, made my bed your home
[Pre-Chorus]
Every touch felt like a promise
Every kiss said, "I got you"
But you whispered, "We don't talk about this"
Like love was something we’d lose
[Chorus]
You’re dangerous in private
Sweet poison on my skin (oh)
Make it feel like love when you move in silence
Then act like we ain’t ever been
I want you, want you, want you
Like I’m leaning off the edge
You’re dangerous in private
But in public I’m a stranger instead
[Verse 2]
Lip gloss on my pillow, I don’t wash it
Laughing in my hoodie, then you drop it
Say, "If they ask, we just friends, alright?"
But your nails in my back say otherwise
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re not ready for the rumors
You say they don’t need to know
But if this ain’t love, then what is it?
Why can’t you let it show?
[Chorus]
You’re dangerous in private
Sweet poison on my skin (yeah)
Make it feel like love when you move in silence
Then act like we ain’t ever been
I want you, want you, want you
Like I’m leaning off the edge
You’re dangerous in private
But in public I’m a stranger instead
[Bridge]
Tell me, is your fear worth all this hiding?
Is my heart just somewhere you can crash?
’Cause every secret kiss keeps me divided
Between your arms and walking past
[Chorus]
You’re dangerous in private
Sweet poison on my skin
Make it feel like love when you move in silence
Then act like we ain’t ever been (oh no)
I want you, want you, want you
But I’m bleeding from the thread
You’re dangerous in private
And I’m tired of being your secret in your head

Verses stay hushed with sparse chords; chorus swells with layered harmonies and airy pads. Occasional washed-out guitar fills and soft vocoder doubles to thicken hooks, slow head-nod tempo, seductive and bittersweet., r&b, female vocals
