[Verse 1] She knew I was hell Saw the smoke in my eyes Heard the warning in my voice Still she stepped inside No halo on her back No fear in her stare She looked at all my demons Like she wanted them there I said, “Baby, run.” She said, “Make me.” God, the way she smiled Nearly broke me She knew what I was She knew what I’d do And every little warning Just pulled her closer to me [Pre-Chorus] She could’ve walked away But she locked the door Put her hands around my neck And whispered, “Give me more.” [Chorus] She knew I was hell Yet she chose to burn with me No, she didn’t want saving She wanted the heat She knew I was trouble And she liked it that way Got a taste of the fire Now she’s begging me to stay If I’m the sin She’s the reason I pray If I’m the match She’s the gasoline She knew I was hell But she came anyway And now we’re both going down In the most beautiful way [Verse 2] Black dress on the floor Lipstick on my skin She said, “Don’t you dare be gentle If we’re gonna do this.” Fingertips like weapons Breath against my ear Every little “don’t” Made her pull me nearer She likes the danger I like when she fights That look in her eyes When she knows she’s mine No promises tomorrow No pretending tonight Just two bad decisions Under red neon lights [Pre-Chorus] She could’ve walked away But she pulled me close Said, “If you’re gonna be my downfall Baby, do it slow.” [Chorus] She knew I was hell Yet she chose to burn with me No, she didn’t want saving She wanted the heat She knew I was trouble And she liked it that way Got a taste of the fire Now she’s begging me to stay If I’m the sin She’s the reason I pray If I’m the match She’s the gasoline She knew I was hell But she came anyway And now we’re both going down In the most beautiful way [Bridge — stripped down, whispered] Don’t call me good You know I’m not Don’t tell me stop When you want it hot You saw the flames You crossed the line Now don’t look innocent When you’re the one Who lit the fire tonight [Breakdown] She knew. She stayed. She wanted the flame. She knew. She stayed. And she whispered my name. [Final Chorus] She knew I was hell Yet she chose to burn with me Wrapped herself in the danger Like it was all she needed She knew I was trouble But she wanted the taste Now we’re tangled in the ashes With no regrets to erase If I’m the sin She’s the reason I pray If I’m the match She’s the gasoline She knew I was hell But she came anyway And if we’re going down— We’re going down this way. [Outro — breathy] She knew I was hell… She saw the flames… And still she came closer.
