[Verse 1] I burned the letters Fed the fire every name Pulled down portraits Taught them all to say my reign Hung new colors Over cracks in every wall Changed my mirror Changed the way they have to crawl [Chorus] But just one kiss Keeps my hand from closing Just one night I still see her face unbroken I raise my voice And the word turns into whisper I could be a monster But I remember Just one kiss [Verse 2] I sign the orders Ink like iron in my veins Crowd is cheering For a crown that loves their chains I lift the seal And the hall holds back its breath See her laughing In a summer I forget [Chorus] ’Cause just one kiss Keeps my hand from closing Just one night I still see her face unbroken I raise my voice And the word turns into whisper I could be a monster But I remember Just one kiss [Bridge] She said my name like it was safe Not a title Not a blade Her fingers on my jawline Soft as mercy Sharp as shame I taste the mercy when I rage It floods my tongue It cuts my hate I spare a life They call it grace I see her eyes I see that day [Chorus] Just one kiss Keeps my hand from closing Just one night I still feel her pulse Outspoken I mount the throne And my fury starts to blister I could be a tyrant But I remember Just one kiss (just one kiss)
