I smelled her perfume on your skin
Lipstick shade I’d never wear
You swore the truth with poison grin
But lies still linger in the air
Midnight thoughts like razor wire
Tracing all the ways you’d fall
I lit the match, I felt the fire
Just watched it dance along the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I’d break, didn’t you?
Beg for scraps, play the fool
But I don’t bleed for ghosts like you
[Chorus]
I almost buried you in roses
Almost let the darkness bloom
Had your name carved in my curses
Wrote your fate under the moon
But your screams in my mind
Were a sweeter kind of crime
Didn’t need to take your life—
Just to know that it was mine
[Verse 2]
I traced the steps, rehearsed your end
A slow goodbye you’d never see
But poison’s too good for pretend
And hell won’t set you free from me
I wore the dress you liked the most
Just to watch your panic rise
And whispered death like it was prose
While smiling with my coldest eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought I’d lose, didn’t you?
But darling, I already knew
Your fear’s the only truth in you
[Chorus]
I almost buried you in roses
Almost let the darkness bloom
Had your name carved in my curses
Wrote your fate under the moon
But your screams in my mind
Were a sweeter kind of crime
Didn’t need to take your life—
Just to know that it was mine
[Bridge]
You’re not worth the grave I planned
Not worth the blood on my hands
I danced with rage, then turned away
And left you begging me to stay
[Breakdown]
I was the fire
You were the ash
You lit the match
But I burned it back
[Final Chorus]
I almost buried you in roses
Almost kissed your twisted doom
But now I wear my crown of closure
And you just rot inside your room
’Cause your fear was enough
And my silence, cold and rough
Was louder than the death you earned—
But never quite deserved
[Outro]
Almost took you down, it’s true
But I’m too good to ruin me for yo
