Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) I woke up with your name burning on my tongue Like saying it out loud could bring you back to me Your scent is still trapped inside these sheets you left And this empty house still screams your name at me. (Pre-Chorus) It hurts to breathe when you’re not around But it hurts even more when you are When you hold me like you didn’t break me yesterday (Chorus) This is love, slowly The kind that kills you without a sound The kind that teaches you to smile with blood in your mouth And still thank the pain somehow You’ve got me on my knees Begging you, baby, please don’t leave Even though I know if you stay You’ll destroy me all over again But I’d rather live in your ruins Than have nothing left of you (Verse 2) I keep your “I’m sorry”s in a drawer that never closes Read them when I need to remember why I cry I still have pictures of me smiling while you tore me open And I look at them like they’re the only home I recognize (Bridge – voice + piano only) Sometimes I think about walking out Closing this door and never looking back But your voice inside my head whispers “Without me you’ll never know how to love” And the worst part of all… Is that I believe it (Final Chorus – full explosion) This is love, slowly! The kind that burns you down inch by inch The kind that makes you beg for just one more drop of poison Because without it you forget how to live I’d rather you killed me than ever let me go I’d rather feel your hands around my throat Than never feel them again So stay… Even if it’s only to ruin me Because I don’t know who I am Without the way you hurt me (Outro – voice fading, piano dying) Slowly… You’re killing me slowly… And I still love you Like this.
