[Verse 1] You say I’m a princess He said it first So you repeat Crown made out of side-eyes Glass shoes on my bare feet Watch her touch your shoulder Smile too long and I see red I taste her name like poison Swallow it and burn instead (ah) [Pre-Chorus] I breathe in your excuses Slow Through my teeth You say “It’s nothing Baby” But nothing cuts this deep [Chorus] I’m hard to name Hard to hold Hard to claim You call it “care” ‘Cause that other word feels strange Say it soft It bruises Say it loud I break I just press my mouth to yours And let my breathing take its place (huh) Let my breathing take its place (oh) [Verse 2] You call me your madness Like it’s something you can fix I wrap around your bad days Haunt the cracks inside your ribs Every woman in your stories Is a shadow on my skin You swear you’re in the moment Why you letting all of them in? (mm) [Pre-Chorus] My pulse on your shoulder Counting every sin You say “It’s only memories” Why they living in your grin? [Chorus] I’m hard to name Hard to hold Hard to claim You call it “care” ‘Cause that other word feels strange Say it soft It bruises Say it loud I shake I just press my mouth to yours And let my breathing take its place (ah) Let my breathing take its place [Bridge] (yeah) Close your eyes Feel me crawl under your skin All that heat All that hurt All the ways that we begin Never say it Never say it Let it hang between our teeth I’ll spell it on your collarbone In every broken breath you steal from me (oh) [Chorus] I’m hard to name Hard to hold Hard to tame You call it “care” Like you’re scared of what I’d take Say it soft It bruises Say it loud I fade Just press your mouth against my throat Let our breathing take its place Let our breathing take its place (shh)

Slow-burning alt-R&B with female vocals; intimate close-mic whispers, soft chesty lead, and stacked sighing harmonies. Minimal subby bass and sparse, clicky percussion under detuned Rhodes and distant guitar swells. Verses stay hushed and breathy, pre-chorus adds rising pads and soft syncopation, chorus widens with reverb-laced ad-libs and audible inhaled breaths as part of the groove, ending on a stripped, half-spoken outro., emotional
