[Intro] [Key: A Minor | BPM: 104] [Instrumental only] [Low sub-bass drone] [Waterphone bowed slowly] [Chain dragged across concrete] [Metallic resonance] [Three distant mechanical impacts] [No vocals] [Verse 1] [Minimal pulse] I learned your name From the mailbox Watched you leave At 8:10 Red coat Wet hair One hand In your pocket [Verse 2] [Low industrial clicks] I saw you laughing Through the glass I waited Across the street You looked beautiful For someone Who never knew I was there [Pre-Chorus] [Waterphone rising] I kept your picture Under my bed Not the face The way you looked away [Chorus] [Heavy industrial rhythm] I fall in love Before the knife Every time I fall in love Before the knife Every time You never have to love me You only have to stay [Verse 3] [Beat almost disappears] Green dress Friday night You bought flowers For somebody else I followed Three blocks Then watched you Go inside [Verse 4] [Metallic percussion] I know your bedroom By the window I know the hour The lights go out I know the shape You make beneath The sheets I never touch you Not yet [Pre-Chorus] [Distorted bass slowly enters] I like you better Before I know you Before you say Something I can't forgive [Chorus] [Full industrial impact] I fall in love Before the knife Every time I fall in love Before the knife Every time You never have to love me You only have to stay [Bridge] [Near silence] [Single waterphone strikes] This is the closest I get To being wanted You become perfect Right before You're a bloody mess [Final Verse] [Slow mechanical pulse] Tonight It's your turn I brought flowers I wore the shirt You liked At least I thought you'd like it [Final Chorus] [Crushing industrial wall] I fall in love Before the knife Every time I fall in love Before the knife Every time You never knew my name You never knew my face But for one quiet moment You were mine to lose [Outro] [Instrumental only] [Chain dragged slowly] [Waterphone resonance] [Low drone descending] [Metal object placed on concrete] [Silence] [No vocals]
