[Spoken Intro – Male, low and quiet] They say every rose has a thorn. But no one talks about the roots— How deep they dig. How hard they are to pull out. You weren’t my rose. You were the whole damn garden. --- [Intro – Whispered Female Vocals, pitch slide, vocal loop, vocal scoop] You smelled like lilies in the blood, A petal in your teeth when you kissed me. You said love shouldn’t feel like drowning, But we kept going deeper anyway. --- [Verse 1 – Male Vocals] Your touch was silk on broken skin, The kind that stings but draws me in. You held my face like it was glass, Then cracked it clean and kissed the cracks. I didn’t flinch—I never do— I think I broke the day I met you. But pain that comes in satin wraps Feels better than the love that lacks. --- [Pre-Chorus – Both] We knew the heat, we smelled the smoke, But darling, weren’t we beautiful broke? We kissed like saints, we fought like beasts, You wore my name between your teeth. --- [Chorus – Both] Petals in your mouth, thorns under mine, Bleeding in the bed like it’s by design. You said, “This is not love,” then begged me to stay, We kiss and collapse, then push it away. We dance through fire, then crawl through grief, You hold me down just to feel relief. It’s petals and teeth, soft lips and bite, We ruin each other every night. You whispered “forever” with blood in your throat, I laughed because it still sounded like hope. We built a house out of apologies, Furnished it with fucked-up memories. --- [Verse 2 – Female Vocals] I left my lipstick on your ribs, You left your silence in my scripts. We said we’d change, then pressed repeat— Two addicts tangled in wet sheets. You drank me dry, I fed you shame, We never once forgot the names. But even now, I call you mine, If only just to cross a line. Your breath on my collar, your lies in my spine, I kept your cruelty dressed in wine. You said you’d leave—then stayed to burn, Each time I begged, you made me learn. --- [Pre-Chorus 2 – Male Vocals] You smiled through tears, I kissed your scars, We worshipped bruises like they were stars. You asked me once, “Is this a curse?” I said, “It’s better than feeling worse.” --- [Chorus 2 – Both] Petals in your hair, fire on my tongue, Every touch a loaded gun. We carve our names in skin and scream, Then stitch it back with shattered dreams. You said, “Let go,” while gripping tight, We lie to sleep and fuck to fight. It’s petals and teeth, sweet ruin and rust, A promise built on shattered trust. --- [Bridge – Both, Staggered Vocals] (M) I tried to leave but turned around— (F) I locked the door, but broke it down. (M) I miss your hate, I crave your ache— (F) I’d rather bleed than feel it fake. (M) You were the scream behind my grin. (F) You were the bruise beneath my skin. (Both) We were not in love, we were in war. And baby, we came back for more. --- [Bridge 2 – Female Whisper, Male Echo] (F) You were a fever I never treated. (M) You were the ache I never left. (F) You cut your name into my wrist— (M) Just deep enough to say I lived. --- [Final Chorus – Both, Fading and Fierce] Petals in your mouth, thorns in my spine, We rot together and call it divine. You said, “We’re wrong,” but made it rhyme— We bloom in pain and call it time. One more kiss, one more bruise, One more fight we never lose. It’s petals and teeth, soft lie and truth— And I’ll ruin you if you ruin me too. You stitched my ribs with broken vows, I carved your name into the now. We never healed, we never tried, We just kissed harder every time we lied. You said “I love you” like a dare, And I said it back just to see you tear. Petals wilt and teeth still gleam— You're not a nightmare, you’re the dream. --- [Outro – Whispered Female, Slow and Final] Don’t say goodbye. Just bite harder. Make it hurt enough to mean something. Make it last longer than our lies did. If you ever miss me— Light a match. I’ll feel it in the marrow. And if I don’t answer, You’ll know I finally stopped bleeding. --- [Outro 2 – Both, overlapping and decaying] (M) Bite down, break skin, make it count. (F) Leave marks where I won’t forget. (M) You said we’re poison, but we’re pure. (F) We are just the prettiest kind of regret. (M) No one holds me like your rage. (F) No one kills me like your touch. (Both) Petals fall, teeth remain— We loved too deep, we hurt too much. --- [Final Echo – Whispered Male Voice] It wasn’t a garden. It was a graveyard. And we kept planting each other. Still, I'd let you bury me again.
