[Intro – violent, immediate]
TEAR IT OUT—
WHATEVER THIS IS
This sickness, this sweetness—
I DON’T WANT IT
[Verse 1 – aggressive]
You crawl through my veins like a parasite
Dressed up in something I used to like
I tried to bury you deep in the dirt
But you keep clawing back through the hurt
Every touch feels like a lie
Every word—another knife
If this is love, then let it die
I won’t let it rewrite my mind
[Pre-Chorus – tension]
You say my name like it still belongs to you
But I’m not the thing you think I grew into
[Chorus – explosive]
I HATE THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE
LIKE I’D RIP MYSELF APART JUST TO KEEP YOU INSIDE
YOU’RE A WOUND THAT I WON’T LET HEAL
A GOD I DON’T BELIEVE IN—BUT STILL… I KNEEL
[Break – sudden drop]
[Verse 2 – soft, intimate]
…don’t look at me like that
Like you don’t see it
Like I’m not breaking right in front of you
I told you I’d ruin this
I always do
But you just stay…
[Pre-Chorus 2 – vulnerable]
And I don’t understand
Why your hands don’t shake
When they’re holding everything I can’t take
[Soft Chorus – emotional, pleading]
If you know I’m going to destroy this
Why are you still here?
Why do you hold me like I’m worth it
When I disappear?
You should run when I get like this
You should leave me behind
But you stay every time…
[Build – rising tension]
Don’t stay
Don’t—
…stay
[Breakdown – crushing return]
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
GET OUT OF MY CHEST
YOU DON’T BELONG HERE
YOU NEVER DID—
I WON’T BE YOUR FIX
I WON’T BE YOUR SAVIOR
IF YOU STAY—
YOU’LL DROWN IN MY BEHAVIOR
[Bridge – chaotic overlap feel]
(I hate you)
—I know
(I need you)
—I know
(I’ll break you)
—You won’t
(I already am)
[Final Chorus – fused chaos + love]
I HATE THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE
LIKE I’D BURN DOWN THE WORLD JUST TO KEEP YOU MINE
YOU’RE THE ONLY THING I CAN’T KILL
A WAR I KEEP LOSING—AND FIGHTING STILL
[Outro – quiet, haunting]
If this is love…
why does it feel like violence?
…and why…
do I want it anyway?
