[Verse 1]
You wear your scars like silver lace
Begging someone to trace each line
I am the hand that grips too hard
You press your ribs into my knives
Your breath caught in my shaking palm
One more inch and you’d be gone
You only smile and say my name
Like I’m the shelter and the bomb
[Chorus]
You crave my ruin
I crave your wounds
I am the gallows
You’re pulling me through
When I almost end you
You pull me closer
I tremble
I shatter
As your love takes over
I only want you
(I only want you)
[Verse 2]
Your fingers circle round my throat
Guiding the monster out of me
You kiss the terror from my lips
Like every bruise could set you free
You call me precious
Call me kind
While I’m still stained with what I’ve done
You wrap your warmth around my sins
And I come apart
I come undone
[Chorus]
You crave my ruin
I crave your wounds
I am the gallows
You’re pulling me through
When I almost end you
You pull me closer
I tremble
I shatter
As your love takes over
I only want you
(I only want you)
[Bridge]
I hear your heart under my blade
Too loud
Too soft
It makes me quake
You lay your throat against my teeth
And whisper
“Stay. I choose this ache.”
[Chorus]
You crave my ruin
I crave your wounds
I am the gallows
You’re pulling me through
When I almost end you
You pull me closer
I tremble
I shatter
As your love takes over
I only want you
I only want you (hey!)
I only want you
