Cut Me Out

[Verse 1]
You call it love
I call it leaning off a ledge
Shaking hands
White-knuckled
Hanging by a thread
Every touch
Like a needle in my veins
You smile soft
I taste addiction in my brain
[Chorus]
This obsession got me crawling back again
Every kiss a little holy
Little sin
If love is just another kind of pain
Cut me
Cut me
Cut me out
But I still stay
[Verse 2]
You draw a heart
On my back with your nails
Gentle shapes
Then you press until it trails
Red on skin
You say I'm all you'll ever need
But every word
Feels like glass I start to bleed
[Chorus]
This obsession got me crawling back again
Every kiss a little holy
Little sin
If love is just another kind of pain
Cut me
Cut me
Cut me out
But I still stay
[Bridge]
Do you ever feel it?
Or am I just a fix you crave? (yeah)
Would you even miss me
If I finally walked away?
[Chorus]
This obsession got me crawling back again
Every kiss a little holy
Little sin
If love is just another kind of pain
Cut me
Cut me
Cut me out
But I still stay
Cut me
Cut me
Cut me out
And I still stay

Moody alt-pop with dark R&B edges, male vocals. Deep, pulsing bass and sparse trap-influenced drums under intimate, close-mic verses; chorus blooms with airy pads, vocal doubles, and a haunting bell lead. Start minimal and tense, then let each chorus hit wider and wetter with delays and subtle distortion on the hook phrase. Final chorus strips to vocal and bass for the last line, leaving a raw, unfinished ache.
