(Style: Dark dance-pop with art-pop flair at a tense midtempo pulse, trap drums and sub-bass driving dark rap verses into bright chant hooks; verses stay clipped and close-mic with autotune sheen, pre-chorus opens into stacked falsetto and breathy doubles, chorus explodes with gang vocals and pitch-shifted ad-libs, reversed swells, and sparkly stutter FX bridge the drops; final chorus adds bigger harmonies and distorted kick.

Verse 1
Cold hands in the backseat
Rain falling down your cheeks
You look at me like heaven
But heaven cuts too deep
Your voice under streetlights
Pulls me into the dark
Every time you touch me
It tears my ribs apart
Pre-Chorus
I know this love will ruin me
Still I let it pull me underneath
Chorus
I can’t breathe when you’re close to me
Your love’s like smoke inside my lungs
Every kiss is a slow disease
But I still want your poison blood
Hold me under, let me drown
I hear your heartbeat screaming loud
I can’t breathe when you’re next to me
But I don’t wanna be set free
Verse 2
Black birds above the highway
Halo cracked in two
I see my whole reflection
Inside the hurt of you
We burn like dying forests
Ash falling in our hair
You pull me into your chest
And steal the oxygen there
Pre-Chorus
Maybe we were born to bleed
Maybe love was never meant to heal
Chorus
I can’t breathe when you’re close to me
Your love’s like smoke inside my lungs
Every kiss is a slow disease
But I still want your poison blood
Hold me under, let me drown
I hear your heartbeat screaming loud
I can’t breathe when you’re next to me
But I don’t wanna be set free
Bridge
If this is death
Then let it stay
Your hands around my soul this way
No light, no dawn
No saving sound
Just your name dragging me down
Final Chorus
I can’t breathe when you’re close to me
Your love lives underneath my skin
And even if it buries me
I’d let you pull me in
Hold me under, let me drown
Keep your darkness in my mouth
I can’t breathe when you’re next to me
But losing you would finish me
