Lyrics

[Intro (low, whisper)]
Don’t leave…
[Verse 1]
You say this burns too fast,
Still you keep coming back.
Every time you move too close—
I know why.
You act calm when we touch,
But your hands say too much.
There’s no slowing down tonight—
Not now.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t pull away,
Stay right here.
[Chorus]
Only you can get me like this,
Even when it hurts, you stay in it.
Say you’ll stay when it turns black—
Bite back,
Bite back—
Every high turns dangerous,
Every touch feels reckless.
Even when we know it’s wrong—
We still want it.
[Verse 2]
Late night under red lights,
You look different tonight.
Like you love the way this feels—
Too much.
You say we should let go,
Still you never let go.
Every second gets too deep—
Too real.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don’t say goodbye,
Not tonight.
[Chorus]
Only you can get me like this,
Even when it hurts, you stay in it.
Say you’ll stay when it turns black—
Bite back,
Bite back—
Every high turns dangerous,
Every touch feels reckless.
Even when we know it’s wrong—
We still want it.
[Bridge]
Say my name slow,
Let it sink in.
Every high, every low—
You already know.
[Final Chorus]
Only you can get me like this,
Like a beautiful bad addiction.
Even when the sweetness fades,
You still want the danger.
Every touch pulls us deeper down,
When the roses bite back.
[Outro]
…bite back.
