[Verse 1] I've counted every step you take I know the hour you wake, you sleep You wear your beauty like a crown I wear the want I cannot keep I've studied every line, every glance The way the light falls on your face I never wanted what wasn't mine Until I saw what you were given [Pre-Chorus 1] I follow the shadow you leave behind A hunger like this is hard to unwind Closer. Closer. Watch you. Want you. [Chorus 1] Your face was never meant to be just yours Something this bright should be shared, should be more I'll wear the envy like a second skin Just close enough to borrow where you've been Let me watch you! Let me want you! Let me learn the shape you're living in! [Verse 2] I've practiced every word I'd say The way you'd say it, soft, unaware I'm not the monster in this tale I'm just a man who wants to be that fair They call it sin to want so much I call it simple, honest truth Why should the world keep something rare When I could take it, when I dare [Pre-Chorus 2] I follow the shadow, I close the space A hunger like this won't slow its pace Touch you. Take you. NO MORE.! NOW! [Chorus 2] Your face was never meant to be just yours Every mirror only proves what I'm sure I'm done with watching, done waiting my turn Something this bright was always mine to earn Let me touch you Let me take you Let me be what you were never meant to KEEEEEP! [Bridge — half-whispered, unraveling] It isn't fair, it isn't right That you were born to catch the light I only want to borrow it Just long enough to make it mine [Final Pre-Chorus] I'm done with shadows, done with the wait A hunger like this doesn't hesitate Mine now. Mine now. Now. Now! NOW! [Final Chorus] Your face was never going to stay JUST YOURS I'm done with wanting, I'm done keeping score The envy in me has no more restraint I'll wear your beauty like IT'S MY OWN I don't want you I'LL BECOME YOU! Nothing pretty ever gets to stay the SAAAAMEEEE!!!
