Beautiful disaster

INTRO — Whispered, slow

Yeah...

You know we shouldn't be here.

But you always come back.

And I always let you.

Oh, no...

VERSE 1

You call me a friend, but you look at me like sin

You swear that it's over, then you pull me back in

Your perfume is fading, your ghost's in my bed

And I keep on hearing the words you never said

Three in the morning, you're calling my phone

Saying you miss me, but you're never alone

I know all your secrets, you know all my lies

We're two broken angels in a beautiful disguise

You say you don't need me, but you're holding me tight

You tell me to leave, then you beg me to stay the night

And I should know better, I should let you go

But there's something about you that feels like home

PRE-CHORUS

So tell me something beautiful

Even if it isn't true

I don't need another promise

I just need a little you

And when the morning steals your shadow

I'll pretend I never knew

That every time you say forever

You mean until we're through

CHORUS — Emotional, melodic

Love me like a stranger

Touch me like you know my soul

Keep me in your darkness

Even when you lose control

Kiss me like you're sorry

Hold me like you're scared to leave

You don't have to love me

Just make it hard for me to breathe

Oh, darling, we're a beautiful disaster

Running from the things we can't undo

And I know you're never gonna save me

But I'd still lose myself in you

POST-CHORUS

Oh-oh, don't let me go

Even if we're moving too slow

Oh-oh, just for tonight

Make another wrong feel right

Yeah, yeah...

Make another wrong feel right...

VERSE 2 — Darker, rhythmic

Black dress, red lights, your hand around my waist

You keep saying my name like it's something you can taste

There's somebody waiting, but you're wasting time with me

And we both know this isn't what it's supposed to be

You love the attention, I love the regret

We make all these memories we're trying to forget

And every little warning is a reason to stay

We say we're getting better, then we throw it away

You got a thousand reasons why we shouldn't begin

I got a thousand ways to let you under my skin

And everybody sees it, everybody knows

But nobody can tell us how the story goes

PRE-CHORUS 2

So tell me something dangerous

Something I can almost trust

We don't have to call it love

When we're drowning in the rush

And when you leave without a warning

I'll remember how it felt

To give somebody everything

And have nothing for myself

CHORUS — Bigger, layered vocals

Love me like a stranger

Touch me like you know my soul

Keep me in your darkness

Even when you lose control

Kiss me like you're sorry

Hold me like you're scared to leave

You don't have to love me

Just make it hard for me to breathe

Oh, darling, we're a beautiful disaster

Running from the things we can't undo

And I know you're never gonna save me

But I'd still lose myself in you

BRIDGE — Soft, vulnerable

Maybe in another life

We could get the timing right

Maybe you could stay till morning

Without disappearing with the light

Maybe I could learn to love you

Without breaking myself in two

Maybe we were never meant for heaven

Just a little hell to make it through

And I hate the way you know me

Every weakness, every fear

How you make a crowded room feel empty

When you're standing right here

But I don't wanna be your secret

I don't wanna be your cure

If you only love me when you're lonely

Then I can't do this anymore

FINAL CHORUS — Intense, emotional climax

Love me like a stranger

Like we've never said goodbye

Look into my broken heart

And tell me one more pretty lie

Kiss me like you're sorry

Hold me like you'll never leave

You don't have to love me

But don't pretend you're loving me

Oh, darling, we're a beautiful disaster

And there's nothing left for us to prove

I kept searching for a little piece of heaven

In somebody I was born to lose

OUTRO — Fading vocals

Don't call me your friend

When you know how this ends

Don't tell me forever

If forever's pretend

I gave you my nights

I gave you my truth

I lost all my reasons

Trying to hold on to you

Oh-oh...

Love me like a stranger...

Or leave me like you always do...

Yeah...

Like you always do...

Oh...

Goodbye.
