Cycle of betrayal

(Verse 1 - Male)
I polished the silver and swept up the glass
I prayed for the shadows of your ghost to pass
But kindness is heavy, a debt I still owe
For planting a garden where nothing can grow.
I let you back in, let you hollow me out
Silenced the truth just to quiet the doubt.

(Verse 2 - Female)
I saw the door open, I saw the white flag
I came back with nothing but holes in my bag
I told you a story of "accidental" sin
Just to see how much further the knife could go in.
You’re such a soft target, so easy to break
And I love the reflection of every mistake.

(Chorus - Both)
(Male): I’m the idiot crawling back to the fire
(Female): I’m the spark that will feed your desire
(Male): I’ll pay the price just to see you smile
(Female): I’ll keep you broken and stay for a while
(Both): It’s a beautiful dance on a floor made of blades
Where the mercy I give is the trap that you laid.

(Verse 3 - Male)
You cried in the kitchen, said you lost your way
So I built you a bridge out of words I can’t say
I wanted to fix you, to be the one man
Who stayed for the wreckage when everyone ran.

(Verse 4 - Female)
And that was your error, your fatal flaw
You’re a sucker for mercy, a slave to the law
Of "loving the broken"—well, honey, I’m fine
I just like the taste of your spirit like wine.
Your eyes fill with pity, mine fill with light
Because I get to destroy you again tonight.

(Bridge - Both)
(Male): Was it all a mistake? Was it just a bad turn?
(Female): It was a masterpiece, darling. Watch it burn.
(Male): I’ll take you back, let the cycle begin.
(Female): I’m already planning the next way to win.

(Outro - Both)
(Male): I’m an idiot for the joy in your eyes.
(Female): I’m the hunter in a lover’s disguise.

(Both): Do it again.
(Male): Just do it again.
(Female): I’ll do it again.
