Sweet like damage

(Verse-breathy, intimate, haunting)

I smile like nothing ever touched me

Lipstick hiding every bruise

You kiss me like you wanna save me

But I’m the storm you’ll always lose

Hands shaking under dim light

You trace the chaos in my skin

Say I’m heaven in the midnight

But baby, hell is where I’ve been

I don’t flinch when love gets ugly

I don’t run when it gets loud

I just pull you a little closer

While I’m burning through the ground

Pre-Chorus (low bass, heartbeat tension)

You don’t see it yet, But you will soon

I don’t love soft, I love like doom

Chorus (heavy bass drop)

I’m sweet like damage, taste like sin

Pull you close then pull you in

You say forever, I say “try”

Watch you burn just to feel alive

I’m soft lips, sharp edges too

Everything they warned you ‘bout is true

You want love? I come with scars

I don’t break hearts… I start wars

Verse 2 (more attitude, subtle distortion)

You like the way I say your name slow

Like I’m praying, but I’m not

You like thinking you can fix me

But I love you twisted, caught

I’ve been fire in a cold room

I’ve been poison dressed in lace

You keep begging for my chaos

While I’m smiling to your face

Every warning sign you ignored

Every red flag felt like fate

Now you’re tangled in my silence

And it’s already too late

Pre-Chorus 2 (layered vocals, rising tension)

You feel it not,

That little ache,

don’t just love,

I devastate

Chorus. (bigger, harmonies stacking)

I’m sweet like damage, taste like sin

Pull you close then pull you in

You say forever, I say “try”

Watch you burn just to feel alive

I’m soft lips, sharp edges too

Everything they warned you ‘bout is true

You want love? I come with scars

I don’t break hearts… I start wars

Post-Chorus (echoed, hypnotic, layered whispers)

Stay… even when it hurts

Stay… you know I’m the worst

Stay… you like how it burns

Stay… you never learn

Verse 3 (stripped back, emotional)

You saw the cracks but called them beauty

Said my darkness felt like home

But you don’t know what lives inside me

Or how deep this damage goes

I don’t cry when things get shattered

I just sweep it out of sight

You wanted real, Now you’re drowning in the truth

I just do what I do

Breakdown (minimal beat, distorted vocal effects, eerie)

Love me… love me… love me…

Even when it cuts too deep

Hold me… hold me… hold me…

Even when I don’t let you breathe

Bridge (emotional peak, slow build back up)

Don’t say my name like it’s holy

I was never meant to save

You fell in love with the danger

Now you’re digging your own grave

You wanted fire, now you’re burning

You wanted truth, now it’s clear

I was never your forever

I was just your worst idea

Final (Explosive, vocal runs, chaos energy)

I’m sweet like damage, say my name

Like you don’t love all this pain

You tried heaven, I’m the fall

You don’t leave me… not at all

Outro (soft, fading, haunting)

I warned you once… you stayed anyway

Now you’re addicted to to the ache

I don’t love you… not the same

But you’ll never escape my name
