[Intro – Spoken, soft over ambient synth] Burn, burn, burn… feel the breeze Scattered bones and trembling knees Pop a pill, still can’t appease This ache—this itch—this need Ain’t no returns. Love don’t come with guarantees. ⸻ [Verse 1: The Burn] You want real? You better blEEED. (yeah) Always fuck the deal—then lEEAVE. (mmhmm) Take my heart, then press dEleete . Young and dumb, you play with hEATT You a lover boy, ain’t built for dEEEP Say it’s love—but it’s just a tease (tease) Always got one foot off the leash Damn. What you expect from me? ⸻ [Pre-Chorus: The Warning] You want it raw, I GIVE it STRAIGHT Lover boys love you, then they flake Make you feel like fate—then bail Leave you hollow, leave you pale Still I wait, still I ache What kind of heaven leaves this much hell? ⸻ [Chorus: The Hook] Lover boys will bury you slow Say all the right shit, then go Leave you cold with a kiss goodnight Swear they meant it—swear it felt right (lies) Tremblin’ knees, tears I don’t show Lover boys love you—then let you go ⸻ [Verse 2: The Show] Juggling hoes, it’s a circus act Swingin’ from your nuts—main act, main trap Heaven-sent? Nah. He sent that cap (clown) Had me beggin’ like a prayer on blast But it’s one night, not built to last Talk like soulmates, then move fast Skylight highs, but your grip don’t hold Only real when the bed runs cold ⸻ [Bridge: The Read] Saw it in the tarot—Ace of Cups, Lovers flipped Read your chart, saw the script Water signs, all ego trip You hide the truth inside your tenth Pretty lies and fine intent But even stars won’t save a fraud You want love—but duck the odds ⸻ [Chorus: The Hook - Repeat] Lover boys will bury you slow Say all the right shit, then go Leave you cold with a kiss goodnight Swear they meant it—swear it felt right Tremblin’ knees, tears I don’t show Lover boys love you—then let you go ⸻ [Outro – Spoken, fading out] Yeah, you love me— but only when I’m breaking Only when I’m shaking Only when I’m quiet Only when I take it But I see it now. And I’m not staying. (beat drops out) Lover boys… will be the death of me. Or maybe just the reason I come back meaner.
