[Intro – half-spoken]
Yeah…
Another night arguing with the echo in my skull
Tryna love somebody I don’t even like
That’s the sick part…
⸻
[Verse 1 – rapid, introspective]
Why does love feel like a sentence, not a gift?
Like I gotta amputate pieces of myself just to fit
I bend, I break, I fake a smile, call it compromise
But every time I do, another part of me just dies
I’m swiping through replacements like I’m numb to the bone
Looking for a soulmate in a world that feels loaned
I don’t hate you, I hate who I become
When I start shrinking just to keep someone
Tell me why I’m turning my love into hate
Is a shattered heart really gonna be my fate?
I just want a love that’s worth living for
But I’m losing myself, it’s hard to ignore
⸻
[Pre-Hook – melodic, tense]
Why does love cost my sanity?
Why do I search for it in a broken melody?
Your song sounds so sweet and pure
But it’s a siren that I can’t ignore
⸻
[Hook – pop/rap hybrid, emotional]
Oh, I’d burn down the world if you asked me to
I’d light the match, watch the sky turn blue
But if you wrong me, I’ll watch it burn
And burn you too, yeah, I’ll burn you too
I gave you pieces I can’t replace
Now love’s got a knife with my name engraved
If I’m the villain in your point of view
Then I’ll wear the crown if that’s what I gotta do
⸻
[Verse 2 – darker, angrier]
I’m tired of dating like it’s psychological war
Where the prize is trauma and the scars are décor
Everybody’s “healing,” but they bleed on you
Then act surprised when you’re leaking too
You say “open up,” then flinch when I do
Say you want honesty, just not the truth
So I bottle it back, let it ferment
Till love turns toxic, then you call me resentful
You fell in love with the version of me
That was starving for approval and afraid to leave
Now I’m eating my words with revenge on my breath
Trying not to confuse self-respect with death
⸻
[Pre-Hook – stripped back]
Why does love cost my sanity?
Why do I chase it like it’s gravity?
Your voice sounds holy, soft and sure
But it’s a siren that I can’t ignore
⸻
[Hook – intensified]
Oh, I’d burn down the world if you asked me to
I’d torch my morals just to stand by you
But if you wrong me, I’ll watch it burn
No tears left, just lessons learned
I tried to be good, tried to be safe
Now I’m carving my heart out of concrete and rage
If being the villain is what it takes
Then paint me black, let the hero break
⸻
[Bridge – slow, haunting]
I don’t wanna hate you, I just wanna feel whole
I don’t wanna love you if it costs my soul
If revenge is the language my pain understands
Then maybe being feared beats being damned
⸻
[Final Verse – controlled, cold confidence]
I stopped begging for love like it’s oxygen
Started guarding my heart like it’s contraband
If you wanted a monster, congratulations
You trained me through neglect and expectations
I won’t burn the world for your validation
But I’ll let it burn if it stands in my way
I’d rather be hated and know who I am
Than loved for a lie
