Mariah (v2)

[Verse 1] Back booth Red dress Low laugh Loose rules You stare Like you just discovered fire Every room I walk in I bloom You wanna cut the petals from the stem Say “Let’s get gone Just me and you” You lock the door Then you lock in [Pre-Chorus] You say I’m trouble Then you taste it (hm) Your eyes get heavy Then they change quick You ask my sign Then you ask my soul I’m already mapping where I’ll go [Chorus] I need love Not an exit plan Not a crazy story in your hands Don’t twist my name when I just slip away You want a fantasy I want something safe I need love Not an alibi Don’t call me thief when all I stole was time You say I haunt you when I never stayed You wanna own me I just wanna be craved [Verse 2] New face Same script Same chase Same fate You flex Big talk Big bills on the table Whisper how you “see the real me” Then you start checking all your pockets Every goodbye turns to trial Every exit feels like docket [Pre-Chorus] You lose your wallet Then your logic (hey) You lose your cool Then call it “goddess” You lose control Then you lose your mind I lose respect And my precious time [Chorus] I need love Not an exit plan Not a crazy story in your hands Don’t twist my name when I just slip away You want a fantasy I want something safe I need love Not an alibi Don’t call me thief when all I stole was time You say I haunt you when I never stayed You wanna own me I just wanna be craved [Bridge] Yeah I’m a heatwave You a house of straw You build a prison Then you call it “ours” You swear I cast a spell I just smiled once You swear I broke your heart We barely touched Don’t make me pay for what you made up Your fear Your shame Your bad luck I’m not your story I’m not your scam I’m just the girl who always leaves with a plan [Chorus] I need love Not an exit plan Not a crazy story in your hands Don’t twist my name when I just slip away You want a fantasy I want something safe I need love Not an alibi Don’t call me thief when all I stole was time You say I haunt you when I never stayed You wanna own me I just wanna be craved
