[Intro]
[Short Instrumental Intro]
[Sparse acoustic guitar, reverb]
[Verse 1]
[Soft, intimate]
I called you perfect, you liked the sound
Fell to my knees when you came around
[Building tension]
Then I was thunder, all sharp and loud
Loved you too deep to tone it down
[Pre-Chorus]
[Conversational]
You say I'm too much, I say you're not
[Raw]
We kiss and burn, forget what we fought
[Chorus]
[Emotional, driving]
I build you up, then tear you down
Call it truth while I spin around
You're pleasure, pain, my sweet undoing
I'm the cut and the one who's bruising
[Percussion Break]
!! ... ! ! !
[Verse 2]
[Melancholy]
I paint you gold, then wash you gray
Say you should stay, then drift away
[Self-aware, bitter]
I mean I'm sorry till I don't
I swear I'll change, but I won't
[Pre-Chorus]
[Vulnerable]
You pull me close when I start to fade
[Conflicted]
I crave the calm but I hate the shade
[Chorus]
[Powerful, louder]
I build you up, then tear you down
Call it truth while I spin around
You're pleasure, pain, my sweet undoing
I'm the cut and the one who's bruising
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Distorted guitar, building]
[Melodic Bass]
[Bridge]
[Whispered, close-mic]
Every promise tastes like rust
[Crescendo]
Every high turns into dust
[Build]
[Drums intensify]
[Final Chorus]
[Primal Scream]
I build you up, then burn it through
[Raw emotion]
Wanted it real, not something new
[Belt it out]
You're pleasure, pain, my sweet undoing
I'm the cut and the one who's bruising
[Resigned, softer]
Love me, break me—both still true
Same old cycle, me and you
[Outro]
[Stripped back, acoustic only]
[Fade to End]
