A Cut Above [Intro – Soft Piano, Rooftop Wind, Distant Strings] [Male – low, intimate] You always find the dangerous parts of me. [Female – soft, aching] Maybe danger is the only place you let me in. [Male] Then don’t call this safe. [Female] I never did. [Verse 1 ] You wear the moonlight like a warning, Standing there in silver rain. I should turn away before morning, Before your lips become a chain. There’s a quiet in the city, Like the world forgot to breathe. And you’re close enough to ruin, Close enough to make me weak. I was built from sharpened hunger, Raised where mercy doesn’t last. You keep touching every scar like You can resurrect my past. But I’m not the man you dream of, I’m not someone you can trust. I can hold you like a promise, Then disappear before the sun. [Pre-Chorus ] So don’t ask me to stay, Don’t look at me that way. If your heart crosses mine, It won’t leave alive. [Chorus ] You make the darkness feel divine, You make a killer wish for time. If this love is gonna bleed, Then bleed beautifully with me. We can burn beneath the stars, We can turn our wounds to art. If I’m the blade you’re dreaming of, Then you were always a cut above. [Verse 2 ] You speak like every kiss is borrowed, Like your hands already know goodbye. But I have seen you in the silence, When your armor leaves your eyes. You keep saying you’re a weapon, Like that means you have no soul. But even steel can shake in winter, Even shadows can feel cold. I don’t need you soft or holy, I don’t need a perfect man. I just need the truth you bury Under all your blood and ash. And maybe this will end in ruin, Maybe love will lose the fight. But I’d rather die near something real Than live untouched by night. [Pre-Chorus – Harmonized] ] Don’t ask me to stay. I’ll ask anyway. Don’t reach for the flame i already came. If your heart crosses mine— Then let it collide. If we fall tonight, At least we felt alive. [Chorus – Bigger Duet] [Male] You make the darkness feel divine, You make a killer wish for time. [Female] If this love is gonna bleed, Then bleed beautifully with me. [Male] We can burn beneath the stars, [Female] We can turn our wounds to art. [Both] If I’m the blade you’re dreaming of, Then you were always a cut above. [Bridge – Stripped, Tender, Doomed] [Female] When you leave, the room turns colder. [Male] When I stay, the end comes closer. [Female] Say my name without the warning. [Male] Hold my hand without the hope. [Female] Could we be more than survival? [Male] Could I be less than what I owe? [Female] Would you love me in another life? [Male] I think that’s where I love you most. [Final Chorus – Emotional Explosion] [Male] You make the darkness feel divine, You make a killer wish for time. [Female] If this love is gonna bleed, Then bleed beautifully with me. [Male] We can burn beneath the stars, [Female] We can turn our wounds to art. [Both] If I’m the blade you’re dreaming of, Then you were always a cut above. [Both – extended] No happy ending, no waking up, No silver morning soft enough. Just one last kiss, one final touch, A doomed love, but a cut above. [Outro – Soft Piano, Breath, Blade Ring] [Female] Do you regret me? [Male] Only when I breathe. [Female] Then remember me. [Male] That’s what will ruin me.
