Black Widow - You're the One I'll Keep

[Intro – Playful piano + finger snaps, mock-sweet tone] (Da-da, dum-dum...) Oh Colton... I don’t mind sharing the stage— as long as I’m the only one alive at curtain call. [Verse 1 – Rap, flirtatious with underlying menace] She touched your sleeve, I smiled so wide Then laced her drink with cyanide. You say it’s harmless, just a glance— But I collect eyes that steal my chance. I’m sugar-dipped with kitchen knives, Crooning lullabies with nine past lives. You’re my muse, my star, my breath— I’ll hold you close... or love you to death. I saw your lips say “just a friend”— But I know how these stories end. She waved? I waved. Now she’s... off-grid. A footnote in a love I hid. You don’t need to look that far, I’ve already carved your name in stars. [Chorus – Sung, sweet tone with twisted edges] You're the one I’ll keep, the one I crave They flirt once—then I dig their grave I don’t do maybes, I don’t do fair You’re mine alone, so buyer beware Kiss me soft or kiss me gone— But you’ll be mine before the dawn You're the one I want—you're the one I’ll keep [Post-Chorus – Soft chanting with whispers underneath] (Keep, keep, keep...) (You're the one...) (You're the one I’ll keep...) [Verse 2 – Rap, seductive rhythm with dark precision] That girl with the gold hoops smiled your way— Now she’s tagged as "missing" since Tuesday. Don’t call it madness, call it grace, When I erase her from our space. You like your tea? I made it sweet. With petals, cream... and someone’s deceit. I memorize your every tone, Your sigh, your laugh, your skin, your phone. Your schedule’s mine—I planned it tight, So we can share our every night. You’re all I think, all I breathe, You’re stitched in every twisted weave. So don’t blink twice or pull away— I turn heartbreak into cabaret. [Chorus – Sung, growing intensity] You're the one I’ll keep, so close, so tight She wore perfume, now she sees no light I built a shrine with velvet thread Every picture, every word you’ve said Say you’re mine, or say goodbye— But love like this don't let men die You're the one I want—you're the one I’ll keep [Guitar Solo – Sharp, theatrical glam tone, 8 bars] [Synth string run + claps rise into next verse] [Verse 3 – Rap, unstable delivery, switches tone mid-line] Remember when you smiled at Claire? I smiled too—then pulled her hair. She stumbled down the spiral stair... Oops. She’s in the papers now somewhere. But you? You’re different. You’re divine. A masterpiece that screams “Be mine.” I wrapped your hoodie like a prize, I sleep in it when plotting lies. She followed you? I followed her. Then turned her silk to something fur. I’m velvet venom, satin-bled— I kiss your lips and paint things red. So call me cruel or call me fate, I am the lock behind your gate. [Bridge – Whispered monologue, soft piano under] I saw you laugh at her joke... I laughed too... when the rope tightened. But you, my Colton—you don’t need to run. You’re safe here. Forever. As long as you don’t change your mind. [Final Chorus – Explosive delivery, ghostly harmonies behind] You're the one I’ll keep, through blood and wine Forget the rest, your soul is mine I’ll tattoo your name on every scar Build a home in your beating heart Say you’re mine or say your prayers— My love forgives, but it never spares You're the one I want—you're the one I’ll keep [Outro – Slow fade, childlike melody in background] (You’re the one…) (Only one…) (Safe with me…) (Forever, love…)
