LOVE ME LIKE A BAD HABIT

Come a little closer, baby...

I've got a beautiful disease.

You wanted heaven in my bedroom,

But darling, I'm a beautiful catastrophe.

You walked in wearing trouble like a diamond dress,

With a heart full of scars and a taste for excess.

I kissed your demons, let them sleep in my bed,

While your ghosts were dancing inside your head.

I was your sinner, your saint, your alibi,

The one who'd never leave when the tears ran dry.

You said my love was too good to be true,

Well, baby, I was burning just for you!

You want my body, you fear my soul,

You want the fire but you can't lose control.

You pull me closer, then push me away,

Oh, what a beautiful game we play!

LOVE ME LIKE A BAD HABIT!

BITE ME, BABY, MAKE IT MAGIC!

KISS ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT,

THEN BREAK MY HEART AND WATCH ME SCREAM IT!

I'm your danger, I'm your sin,

The sweetest trouble you've ever been in!

You want a lover, you want a fight,

You want my darkness dressed in white!

LOVE ME! HATE ME!

TASTE ME! BREAK ME!

BUT YOU'LL NEVER OWN ME, BABY!

I fought your battles with my hands held high,

Kept my own pain hidden just to see you smile.

I carried secrets, swallowed every flame,

But somehow I was always the one to blame.

You saw old shadows in a brand-new bed,

Heard yesterday's voices in everything I said.

I gave you tomorrow, you gave me yesterday,

And every time I reached, you slipped away.

You want a savior with a dangerous smile,

Someone to stay through your emotional trial.

But who's gonna hold me when I fall apart?

Who's gonna dance with my broken heart?

LOVE ME LIKE A BAD HABIT!

BITE ME, BABY, MAKE IT MAGIC!

KISS ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT,

THEN BREAK MY HEART AND WATCH ME SCREAM IT!

I'm your danger, I'm your sin,

The sweetest trouble you've ever been in!

You want a lover, you want a fight,

You want my darkness dressed in white!

I could've been your shelter...

I could've been your home...

But I can't keep making love

To someone who's afraid to be loved.

So take your ghosts, take your tears,

Take the wreckage of our beautiful years.

I loved you hard, I loved you true,

But darling, I've got a life to choose!

LOVE ME LIKE A BAD HABIT!

KISS ME LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF MADNESS!

I GAVE YOU FIRE, I GAVE YOU HEAT,

NOW WATCH ME DANCE TO MY OWN DAMN BEAT!

I'm not your victim, not your toy,

I'm not the man you'll ever destroy!

You had my body, you had my heart,

BUT YOU DON'T GET TO OWN MY SPARK!

You wanted a devil?

Baby, you had one.

But this time...

I'm the one who's having fun.

Ha!
