Hello Was the Trigger

**[Verse 1]**

You walked in, a ghost in skin

Smile like venom, soft as sin

The room went cold, my guard fell low

I never stood a chance, I know

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Your touch was truth, or so I thought

But every gift was laced with rot

**[Chorus]**

You had me at “hello

Like a spell I couldn’t break

Pulled me under, slow

With every breath you’d take

You had me at “hello”

Now I’m drowning in your glow

Beautiful and hollow

That’s how the poison flows

**[Verse 2]**

You spoke in colors I’d never seen

Now they stain everything in me

Promises carved on trembling bone

Left me tethered, left alone

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I should’ve known that light deceives

You taught me how a siren grieves

**[Chorus]**

You had me at “hello

Now I’m chained beneath your throne

Silken lies, wrapped in gold

I sleep inside the undertow

You had me at “hello”

But that’s when the wound was sewn

Beautiful and hollow

And stitched into my soul

**[Bridge: Spoken whisper over minimalist synth]**

Every word... a trap with teeth

And I whispered “more,” I begged beneath

**[Final Chorus]**

You had me at “hello

Not love, but something close

Not safe, but sweetly bold

A silence that explodes

You had me at “hello”

Now I know what haunting knows

Beautiful and hollow

You never let me go
