Intro] (Dark synth bassline pulsing) (Finger snaps, slow R&B groove) [Female Vocal, whispered] Yeah... I can't breathe in this room no more. [Verse 1: Female Lead] Midnight strikes, I'm wide awake Every promise that you make is fake You pull me close just to push me down I'm drowning in this neon town [Verse 2: Male Lead] (Smooth vocal delivery, syncopated bass) I gave you trust, I gave you time But your affection feels like a crime You wear me out, you drag me deep Into the secrets we can't keep [Pre-Chorus: Both / Harmonized] (Building synth pads) We gotta get out, we gotta break free From the poison between you and me We touch the skin, but it leaves a burn When will we ever learn? [Chorus: Female Lead with Male Harmonies] (Heavy New Wave synths drop, punchy R&B beat) Oh, it's a bitter love, a shattered heart You tear my sanity apart I'm running fast, I'm fading out You're the shadow I could do without Take your hands off, let me go This tainted rhythm is way too slow (Ooh-yeah, bitter love) [Verse 3: Female Lead] Your words are sweet, your eyes are cold A tragic story getting old A velvet trap, an iron cage I'm walking right off this stage [Bridge: Male Lead] (Half-time R&B drop, minimal beat, deep sub-bass) I used to need you... Now I just need space. You left a mark that I have to erase. [Guitar & Synth Solo] (80s arpeggiator meets modern trap-soul hi-hats) (Female vocal ad-libs in the background) Ooh... let me go... [Chorus: Both / Full Energy] Oh, it's a bitter love, a shattered heart You tear my sanity apart I'm running fast, I'm fading out You're the shadow I could do without Take your hands off, let me go This tainted rhythm is way too slow! [Outro] (Fading synth pulse) [Female Lead] Bitter love... (let me go) [Male Lead] Tainted heart... (I'm running away) [Both] I'm running, I'm running. (Cold abrupt stop)
