LOVE ME LIKE A WRECK Genre: Alternative Rock / Dark Pop Rock / Modern Radio Rock [Intro – Whispered, distorted guitar] You say you love me… Then why's it feel so good to break me? [Verse 1] Your pretty little smile is a beautiful disguise You kiss me on the mouth while you're feeding me your lies You pull me to your chest just to push me to the side And every time you hurt me, I come crawling back inside You tell me that I'm broken, that I'm never gonna change But every little heartbreak makes me love a little strange You wrap me in your arms just to tighten up the chain And somehow I'm addicted to the pleasure in the pain [Pre-Chorus – Building tension] Don't tell me that you love me just to watch me fall Don't promise me forever if you don't mean it all If loving you's a prison, put my name upon the wall 'Cause every time I try to leave, I'm begging you to call [Chorus – Massive, melodic, radio hook] Love me like a wreck, wreck, wreck Put your hands around my heart and leave a beautiful mess Kiss me like a cure, hurt me like a threat You're the sweetest little nightmare that I never wanna forget Break me like a promise, burn me like a flame Give me all your heaven with a little bit of pain Love me like a wreck, wreck, wreck If you're gonna break my heart, make it one I'll never forget [Post-Chorus – Catchy gang vocals] Oh-oh-oh, I love the way you lie Oh-oh-oh, you make me feel alive Oh-oh-oh, we're dancing on the edge So love me, love me, love me like a wreck [Verse 2] I wear your little secrets like a tattoo on my skin I swear I'm walking out, but you keep pulling me back in You tell me I'm your angel while you're celebrating sin And I keep losing battles that I never meant to win Your love is like a fever that I never wanna shake A beautiful disaster and a beautiful mistake I know you're gonna leave me with another heart to break But I'd rather feel the thunder than a love that's cold and fake [Pre-Chorus 2 – More aggressive] Don't offer me forgiveness with a dagger in your hand Don't promise me an ocean when you're drowning me in sand If loving you's a war, then I'm the last one left to stand And I'll keep running toward you while the whole damn world is damned [Chorus – Full band, explosive] Love me like a wreck, wreck, wreck Put your hands around my heart and leave a beautiful mess Kiss me like a cure, hurt me like a threat You're the sweetest little nightmare that I never wanna forget Break me like a promise, burn me like a flame Give me all your heaven with a little bit of pain Love me like a wreck, wreck, wreck If you're gonna break my heart, make it one I'll never forget [Bridge – Stripped down, vulnerable vocal] Maybe I'm the problem, maybe you're the cure Maybe we're addicted to a love that's never pure Maybe all this damage is the thing that makes us sure That we'd rather die together than be lonely anymore [Breakdown – Whisper into a scream] You want my heart? You want my soul? You want the parts You can't control? Take my love Take my breath Just don't leave me With nothing left! [Final Chorus – Half-time opening, then massive explosive finish] LOVE ME LIKE A WRECK, WRECK, WRECK! Put your hands around my heart and leave a beautiful mess! Kiss me like a cure, hurt me like a threat! You're the sweetest little nightmare that I never wanna forget! Break me like a promise, burn me like a flame! Give me all your heaven with a little bit of pain! LOVE ME LIKE A WRECK, WRECK, WRECK! IF YOU'RE GONNA BREAK MY HEART, MAKE IT ONE I'LL NEVER FORGET! [Outro – Fading guitar, whispered] Oh-oh-oh… Love me like a wreck… You were the best mistake… I haven't made yet.
