Verse 1
You walk in like a headline, perfectly untrue
Smile like it’s medicine, poison in perfume
Every compliment you give is a needle dressed in lace
I should leave the room, but I love the way it tastes
You talk in little circles, I listen like a sin
I know exactly what you are, I still let you win
Pre Chorus
Say it soft
Make it sting
I lean in
Like a thing
Chorus
You’re sweet, then you switch, then you smile again
Like a blade with a kiss, I should know better than
To keep dancing this close to the edge of your mood
But I like how it burns when it’s pretty and rude
If you wanted a good boy, you picked wrong tonight
I don’t run from the glitter, I run to the fight
Post Chorus Hook
Mm
One more
Mm
Too close
Verse 2
You fake your innocence like a designer coat
Throw it on, walk it off, watch me take the note
I can read your little tells, the tilt of your grin
You don’t want love, you want leverage, let the games begin
My friends say “do not,” I say “watch me anyway”
Because some kinds of danger feel holy in the gray
Pre Chorus
Breath slow
Eyes bright
Say my name
Act surprised
Chorus
You’re sweet, then you switch, then you smile again
Like a blade with a kiss, I should know better than
To keep dancing this close to the edge of your mood
But I like how it burns when it’s pretty and rude
If you wanted a good boy, you picked wrong tonight
I don’t run from the glitter, I run to the fight
Bridge
If the room starts spinning, let it
If the truth gets loud, I said it
I don’t need a clean ending
I need a clean hit
Final Chorus
You’re sweet, then you switch, then you smile again
Like a blade with a kiss, I should know better than
To keep dancing this close to the edge of your mood
But I like how it burns when it’s pretty and rude
If you wanted a good boy, you picked wrong tonight
I don’t run from the glitter, I run to the fight
