Lyrics
[Opening - distant vinyl crackle, low pulsing synth bass, whispered male vocal with heavy reverb]
[Verse 1 - mid-tempo dark pop groove, cold synth stabs, intimate male vocal]
Halloween nights, phone pressed to your ear
Asking lonely girls which scream they hold dear
My best friend laughing while I held the line
Revenge tasted sweet, then it started to shine
I wanted her gone, wanted silence instead
But every plan crumbled the moment she said
My name like a secret she’d never let go
And something inside me refused to let go
[Pre-Chorus - rising tension, layered synths, vocal doubles]
We wore the masks, we played the game
But when the lights went out, I knew her name
Would always be the one that stayed
[Chorus - explosive dark pop drop, thick sidechained bass, anthemic solo male vocal with layered backing vocals]
She killed him with the knife still warm in her fist
Blood on her cheek and that look I can’t resist
I came to end her, ended up on my knees
Now she’s the only one who gets to keep me
Forever, forever, she’ll always be mine
Even if the whole world has to die
[Verse 2 - slightly darker, trap-influenced hi-hats, lower vocal register]
I watched him fall, watched the color leave his eyes
She stood there shaking, too scared to realize
That the monster she feared was already gone
And the one left standing would never move on
I took the blade, wiped it clean on my sleeve
Told her, “It’s over, you’re safe now, believe”
But the truth in my chest was a terrible thing
I’d do it again if it meant she would sing
[Chorus - explosive dark pop drop, thick sidechained bass, anthemic solo male vocal with layered backing vocals]
She killed him with the knife still warm in her fist
Blood on her cheek and that look I can’t resist
I came to end her, ended up on my knees
Now she’s the only one who gets to keep me
Forever, forever, she’ll always be mine
Even if the whole world has to die
[Bridge - stripped synths, half-spoken male vocal over heartbeat kick]
Her eyes in the dark, wide and breaking apart
I saw the girl I loved wearing someone else’s heart
I should have run, I should have screamed
Instead I pulled her closer to me
[Final Chorus - massive drop, distorted low-end, stacked male vocals]
She killed him with the knife still warm in her fist
Blood on her cheek and that look I can’t resist
Now the bodies can fall and the sirens can cry
I’ll hold her forever while the whole world dies
Forever, forever, she’ll always be mine
Even if the whole world has to die
[Outro - fading pads, distant heartbeat, whispered male vocal]
...she’ll always be mine...
