[Intro – Whisper / Footsteps]
Tell me that you hate me…
Say it slow.
Mask on.
Lights out.
⸻
[Verse 1]
Neon cuts the fog, you take off running
I stay steady, hear your breathing coming
Every step loud, you give away the game
You wanted danger—say my name
Lipstick smeared, pulse in your throat
Fear tastes sweet when you’re that close
You turn, eyes locked, knees go weak
You didn’t run from me—you ran to me
You love the mask, love how it sounds
Love the way I hunt you down
Say it hurts, but don’t let go
You knew the rules—you like it slow
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Play like you don’t miss me
When it gets late
Paint me with your lipstick
Seal our fate
⸻
[Chorus]
Tell me that you hate me, say I drive you crazy
Hands on my back, nails dig—don’t save me
You love the way I hold you down (hold you down)
I love the way you scream out loud
Lipstick stains on my pillowcase
No one knows you like I do—say it to my face
Tell me that you hate me (hate me)
Tell me that you—love the chase
⸻
[Verse 2]
Trees whisper secrets, breath goes fast
Back to the trunk, heartbeat blasts
You say you’re mine before we start
Dark romance, open heart
Church on Sunday, sins at night
Halo cracked, horns in sight
You pray quiet, then pull me close
Say “don’t stop”—that’s how it goes
You bite your lip, don’t play dumb
Crave my touch, keep that taste on your tongue
If you fall apart, I read the signs
You lose control right on time
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
No one does it like you do
Say you hate me—I know the truth
⸻
[Chorus – Lifted]
Tell me that you hate me, say I drive you crazy
Lipstick on my collar, don’t replace me
You love the way I hold you down (hold you down)
I love the way you scream out loud
Nails in my back, I’m losing pace
Blood-red words written on your face
Tell me that you hate me (hate me)
Tell me that you—love the chase
⸻
[Bridge – Half-Time / Low]
Mask stays on, lights stay low
Cat and mouse—we both know
Say you’re lost, say you’re found
I circle once, then pull you close
You crave the dark you can’t explain
I crave the moment you say my name
If you run again, we play
Ghostface always gets his way
⸻
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Tell me that you hate me, say it twice
Say it when the fear feels nice
Hands on my back, don’t look away
You didn’t run—you chose to stay
Lipstick fades, echoes remain
If you run again, we play again
(whisper)
Tell me that you hate me…
Fade to black.
