[Intro – distorted synth, deep bass] You say it’s love, but I feel the fucking chains You say don’t leave, but it’s just the same Every time I try to breathe You wrap your hands back over me [Verse 1] You like me better when I’m silent Eyes on me, you’re always violent Say it’s passion, but it’s control You’re just feeding on my fucking soul Late nights, red lights, you haunt my dreams Told me I’m yours, by any means You kiss like a drug, I can’t escape Now I’m locked in, and it’s too late [Pre-Chorus] Your love’s a cage, velvet-lined You say you care, but cross the line Don’t wanna lose, so you keep me tied I see the truth, but damn your stupid lies… [Chorus] You got a grip on me (grip on me) Tighter every time I try to leave Say it’s love, but it feels like war Every kiss got me beggin’ for more You got a grip on me (grip on me) Suffocatin’ in your ecstasy You break me down so beautifully But I can’t breathe… [Verse 2 – trap beat kicks in heavier] You read my texts before I do Track my steps, you always knew Control dressed up in luxury You chained my heart with jewelry You said, “Forever, or not at all” Now I’m bleeding behind these walls You love to watch me fall apart Then hold me close like it’s an art [Pre-Chorus] I’m drowning deep in all your games You whisper sweet but curse my fucking name I try to leave, you pull me close Sayin’ love’s not love without control… [Chorus – more intense, with layered vocals & synths] You got a grip on me (grip on me) Tighter every time I try to leave Say it’s love, but it feels like war Every kiss got me beggin’ for more You got a grip on me (grip on me) Twisted in your dark fantasy You hold me like it’s destiny But I can’t breathe… [Bridge – distorted synths, breakbeat / chopped vocals] (You say you need me…) (But you just feed me…) Lines blurred, now I’m just a shadow In your world, where love’s just shallow [Outro – cinematic & eerie, like the end of a dream] You don’t want me… You want to own me You call it love… But it’s lonely… Grip so tight, it leaves a bruise But I still come back to you…
