[Intro – spoken, very low, raspy whisper, slow American drawl]
L… I… E…
Say it like you mean it.
Yeah…
I know what this is.
[Verse 1 – low-register, gritty chest voice, slow phrasing, intimate and dangerous]
You look at me like I’m a message meant for you
[Drag the you]
Like every move I make is something you decode
You swear my silence is a secret invitation
But baby, that’s a story that you wrote
I feel your eyes before you say my name
[gravel on name]
You read my breath like prophecy and fate
I never promised you a damn thing
But you hear vows in every word I say
[Pre-Chorus – husky, restrained, tension building, slight growl at line ends]
You don’t know me like you think you do
But you swear I’m sending signs to you
I don’t touch you, but you feel me still
That’s the danger — and the thrill
[Chorus – full raspy belt, dark pop hook, confident and icy]
L. I. E — living in erotomania
You’re in love with the idea, not the real me, yeah
L. I. E — every look turns into proof
You don’t want the truth
You want the fantasy of you
L. I. E — I’m not yours, I never was
You hear destiny, I hear obsession buzz
Say my name like it’s prophecy
That’s L. I. E — living in erotomania
[Verse 2 – lower again, conversational rasp, seductive but firm]
You screenshot moments I don’t remember
Build a future from a glance too long
You say we like it’s already written
But I never sang that song
You mistake my kindness for a confession
(gravel flick on confession)
Read desire where there’s only heat
I don’t owe you an explanation
For the version of me you see
[Pre-Chorus – layered harmonies underneath, lead stays gritty and calm]
I don’t flirt, I just exist
You turn presence into a wish
I don’t feed the fire you feel
But it’s burning — and it’s real
[Chorus – BIGGER, darker, stacked vocals]
L. I. E — living in erotomania
You’re in love with the echo, not the voice you hear
L. I. E — every smile turns into fate
You call it love, but it’s fixation, babe
L. I. E — I don’t owe you destiny
You built a world where I don’t breathe
Say my name like it’s prophecy
That’s L. I. E — living in erotomania
[Bridge – stripped back, almost spoken, very raspy, chilling calm]
I don’t need to break your heart
You already broke reality
I don’t need to say goodbye
You said hello… imaginatively
[beat drops to silence]
This ain’t romance.
It’s projection.
[Final Chorus – powerful but controlled, raspy belt with authority]
L. I. E — living in erotomania
You don’t see me, you see what you need, yeah
L. I. E — I won’t play along
I won’t be the myth you lean on
L. I. E — say it slow, say it clear
I was never sending signals, dear
Say my name, but don’t mistake it
That’s L. I. E — and I won’t fake it
[Outro – whispered rasp, cold, final]
L… I… E…
Believe what you want.
Just don’t make it me.
