Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You wear white in the daytime Halo on in the group chat glow Practicing your practiced kindness While the cracks start to show You laughed at all my secrets Saved them up like little knives Was my best friend Now you’re walking Like you were never in my life [Pre-Chorus] Do you taste the poison In the stories that you spin Do you flinch a little When you say you’d do it all again (yeah) [Chorus] Saint in public Snake in private Acting holy while your lies get violent How does it feel to hurt the one Who never did a thing to you You held my hand Then you chose to let it go Just to stand beside him Defend his ghost Tell me Does it burn Does it burn When the truth starts burning through [Verse 2] You turned red flags into roses Said his name like it meant fate I was bleeding while you told me I was just “a little late” Now I see you from a distance Like a stranger on the train I rewind our teenage sleepovers Wish we’d never even learned our names [Pre-Chorus] Do you hear my voice When you’re lying wide awake Does the mirror hold you Or does it finally break (oh) [Chorus] Saint in public Snake in private Acting holy while your lies get violent How does it feel to hurt the one Who never did a thing to you You chose his side Watched me fall and called it “truth” Sold my trust just to worship what he’d do Tell me Does it burn Does it burn When the truth starts burning through [Bridge] How does it feel? To call me “sister” then twist the steel To watch me drown so he can breathe To call it love when it’s just fear (just fear) I wish we never met Wish your number never saved Wish our photos stayed un-taken All those birthdays All those braids [Chorus] Saint in public Snake in private Acting holy while your lies get quiet How does it feel to hurt the one Who would’ve given up the world for you I was on your side when you had nothing left You turned around Put a knife in my chest Tell me Does it burn Does it burn When the truth starts burning through [Outro] Saint in public Stranger to me I was your safe place Now you’re just a bad dream (yeah)

Moody dark pop over sparse piano and pulsing bass, female vocals with a bitter-sweet edge. Verses sit close and confessional, pre-chorus adds tension with stacked whispers, chorus explodes with layered harmonies and a distorted sub drop. Bridge strips back to almost a cappella before a final, hard-hitting hook.
