Who would I have to become for your arms to open? Would I have to bleed for you, or would you want me broken anyway? Could you hold me without hesitation— every crack, every shadow— or would you turn away from what’s already trembling in me? (Hold me, hold me, hold me…) Grip my wrists, let your eyes stay on mine. Say it, even if the words are lies. Bite my name, breathe it into the dark. I can’t stop loving you. (Can’t stop, can’t stop, can’t stop…) Your mouth drifts against mine— slow, unsteady, deliberate. Your hands move like they’ve waited forever, but they still shake. Tears fall into me, and I drink them down like secrets. Everything you hide is everything I want. (Everything, everything…) Grip my wrists, let your eyes stay on mine. Say it, even if the words are lies. Bite my name, breathe it into the dark. I can’t stop loving you. Need me more with every breath, as if I’m the last thing you’ll ever touch. Say my name, let it split the silence, let it shatter everything around us. Promise me nothing, but stay until morning— stay until I forget that I asked for too much. (Stay… stay… stay…) Grip my wrists, let your eyes stay on mine. Say it, even if the words are lies. Bite my name, breathe it into the dark. I can’t stop loving you. (can’t stop…) loving you Maybe I want the impossible. Maybe I want too much. But what if my only fault is that I can’t stop loving you? Loving you… Loving you…
