Verse 1 Black lipstick like a loaded gun Sharp eyeliner, you don’t miss That collar tight around your throat With the ring that I can’t resist Green highlights cut through the dark Your hair tied loose like you don’t care But you do—you always did You just learned how not to beg for air Your skin’s a story I’m afraid to touch Thigh tattoos like battle scars Every mark says survive Every look says don’t look away now ⸻ Pre-Chorus I’ve seen monsters pray to be human I’ve been worse than all of them And when you smile like you forgive me I don’t know where I stand ⸻ Chorus I love the way you wear the night Like it belongs to you But I’m scared my hands are still too dirty To deserve something this true I love your fire, love your hunger Love the heart you never hide But every life I lived before you Whispers I won’t be enough this time ⸻ Verse 2 Goth Latina vampire queen But it’s not the fangs that pull me in It’s the way you listen when I break Like you’ve been there, like you’ve bled You don’t flinch when I go quiet Don’t run when the past comes out You just step closer, touch my face Like you already know what I’m about I’ve worn masks across lifetimes Different names, same sins You look at me like I’m not cursed Like I can still begin ⸻ Pre-Chorus I don’t deserve the way you trust The way you choose to stay I keep waiting for the moment You realize I’m decay ⸻ Chorus I love the way your heart beats loud Even when the world goes dead You don’t love me like I’m dangerous You love me like I’m scared I love your strength, your mercy How you fight but still believe But I’m haunted by the versions of me You were never meant to see ⸻ Bridge (Spoken → Scream) (low, breaking) I’ve died as worse men than I am now And lived long enough to remember (snarling) Every promise I broke Every hand I didn’t hold Every life I left colder (screamed) WHAT IF I LOVE YOU RIGHT— AND IT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH ⸻ Final Chorus (Bigger, Desperate) I love the way you stand your ground Like the night won’t take you down I love your scars, I love your truth I love the way you wear the crown But I’m scared my past keeps bleeding through Every kiss, every vow I don’t doubt my love for you— I doubt myself right now ⸻ Outro (Soft, Resigned) If my love comes up short It won’t be because it wasn’t real It’ll be because I’m still learning How to live with what I used to be (quiet) But I’m trying… For you.
