[Intro]
You ever love somebody that feels more like a curse than a blessing?”
(pauses)
Like… you know she’s bad for you,
but every time she leaves, it’s like your heart stops working.
And every time she comes back…
you tell yourself it’s the last time—
but you don’t really mean it. (soft laugh)
[Hook]
Even with blood dripping down my face, she still kiss me on the lips (yeah)
Even when I lie, she still gon’ twirl her hips (still do)
I said, “this doesn’t feel real,” she went and made a list (made a list)
Of everyone she’s marked with her serpent’s kiss (serpent’s kiss, yeah)
Blood and lies, but she still insists (still insists)
She said, “baby, don’t run from this” (don’t run from this)
[Verse1]
I’ve been fallin’ way too fast, I don’t know how to land (nah)
Told her that I’m broken, she just took me by the hand (yeah)
Said “I love you for your scars, not the things you planned”
Now I’m bleeding out my heart, and she still understands (damn)
She said she don’t care if I die young (nah)
Long as I die right here where she’s from (yeah)
In her room with the candles half gone
Whispers in my ear sayin’, “baby, don’t run” (don’t run, don’t run)
Every night I tell myself I’ll change (I’ll change)
But she the only thing that numbs the pain (the pain)
Even when it’s hell, I can’t complain (nah)
Love and hate feel the same in her flame (same in her flame)
Hook (slightly softer, more vulnerable)
Even with blood dripping down my face, she still kiss me on the lips (still kiss me)
Even when I lie, she still gon’ twirl her hips (twirl it, yeah)
I said, “this doesn’t feel real,” she went and made a list (made a list)
Of everyone she’s marked with her serpent’s kiss (serpent’s kiss, yeah)
Blood and lies, but she still insists (still insists)
She said, “baby, don’t run from this” (don’t run from this)
Verse 2 (more introspective, fading energy)
She my downfall, but I love the fallin’ (yeah)
Late-night calls, yeah, we both stallin’ (both stallin’)
She said, “you don’t need the pills, you need me”
But she the reason that I can’t sleep (nah)
Lookin’ in her eyes, I see my reflection (reflection)
Pain and affection, it’s all connection (connection)
I told her, “I can’t do love, I’m too infected” (infected)
She smiled, said, “baby, that’s why you’re protected” (protected)
Now I’m floatin’, I don’t feel the ground (nah)
Heart too heavy, but it makes no sound (no sound)
If this love kills me, I’m down (I’m down)
I’d rather die with her than ever be found (yeah)
[Hook (last take, like he’s fading out the booth)]
Even with blood dripping down my face, she still kiss me on the lips (still kiss me)
Even when I lie, she still gon’ twirl her hips (still do)
I said, “this doesn’t feel real,” she went and made a list (made a list)
Of everyone she’s marked with her serpent’s kiss (serpent’s kiss, yeah)
Blood and lies, but she still insists (still insists)
She said, “baby, don’t run from this” (don’t run…)
