[Verse 1] I keep my voice low, velvet calm You lean in closer, miss the alarm I don’t rush, I let it breathe I let your thoughts do things to me Your shadow spills across my skin I feel the pull, I don’t give in Not yet, not now, I hold it tight I like the ache before the bite [Pre-Chorus 1] I say your name like it’s a test You fail it softly, nothing said My hands are still open wide But you already stepped inside [Chorus] Say it slow, say it dirty Like you know you’re gonna hurt me Don’t clean it up, don’t save face I want the heat, I want the taste Say it low, say it dirty I don’t need it safe or pretty If it stains me, let it stay I don’t wash this feeling away [Verse 2] Your breath stutters, mine stays still I feel your want bend to my will You pretend you’re undecided But your body’s already sided I trace the line you won’t admit You cross it every time we kiss You look at me like I’m the blame I never told you not to play [Pre-Chorus 2] Don’t look down, don’t slow this now You know exactly where we are I stop resisting, let it fall I want it all, I want it raw [Chorus] Say it slow, say it dirty Like you know you’re gonna hurt me Don’t clean it up, don’t be kind I want the truth between the lines Say it low, say it dirty I don’t need it safe or worthy If it marks me, let it show I don’t let this feeling go [Verse 3] Now we’re closer than we planned Your pulse talks louder than your hands No more games, no disguise Just that look behind your eyes I feel the danger, soft and warm Like something quiet before a storm If this is wrong, don’t say a word I like it better when it burns [Bridge] You touch me like I won’t forget Like you want the mess you get If I fall, don’t pull me free I want what this does to me [Outro] (a breath) Dirty… (silence)
