PLAY ME OR LOVE ME

[Intro] (soft, teasing)

(slow guitar + heartbeat bass)

Mmm…

You really thought you had me figured out?

That’s cute.

(whisper)

I’m the girl you fall for…

right before it ruins you.

⸻

I walk in like a secret that you shouldn’t keep

Got you losing all your morals just to get to me

I don’t chase, I attract, I don’t beg, I choose

And somehow, baby, you still find a way to lose

Pretty lies in my mouth, yeah I taste like sin

Say you hate me, then you’re right back in my bed again

You call it toxic, I call it fun

You think you’re playing me? I’ve already won

I don’t love, I don’t stay, I don’t play it fair

But you keep coming back like I put you there

Got you hooked on the way that I say your name

Like a match to a flame—you like the pain

⸻

You can love me, you can hate me, you can try to walk away

But you’ll always end up right back where I want you to stay

I’m the kiss that you crave and the cut that won’t heal

I’m the lie that you want even knowing it’s real

I don’t belong to nobody, don’t get it confused

You don’t have me—you’re just someone I use

Call me selfish, call me reckless, call me hard to replace

But you’ll never forget me…

not a girl like me, babe

⸻

Look…

I don’t get attached, I just keep ‘em in line

Got a list of broken hearts and they all still mine

You can swear you’re different, you can say you’re not the same

But you fall just like the rest when I step in the game

I’ll say “I miss you” just to watch you fall apart

Then disappear again like I never had a heart

You think it’s love? No, baby, it’s control

I don’t give pieces—I take your whole soul

I’ll smile in your face while I’m planning my leave

Make you feel like you matter, then I make you believe

That maybe you could be the one that I choose

But the truth is… I just like watching you lose

⸻

You can love me, you can hate me, you can try to walk away

But you’ll always end up right back where I want you to stay

I’m the rush in your blood, I’m the high you can’t quit

I’m the girl that you know you’ll regret—but you still pick

I don’t belong to nobody, don’t get it confused

You don’t have me—you’re just someone I use

Say my name like a curse, like a sin, like a flame

You’ll never forget me…

remember my name

⸻

(beat cuts, soft whisper)

You thought I’d stay?

(laughs softly)

You really don’t know me at all…

I don’t fall in love—

I make people fall for me.

(pause… then beat hits)

And that’s the difference.

⸻

(soft guitar fades)

Go ahead…

Tell yourself you’re done with me.

(whisper)

You’re not.

See you soon, love. 😈
