I’m on the couch with a bowl of fries
Watching pretty people trading lies
She’s got a tan, he’s got a jaw
They fall in love by lunchtime law
They kiss, they cry, they break, they mend
All in the span of a weekend trend
But I’m not buying what they sell
I want a love that’s real as hell
They say “forever” in a hot tub scene
But I need more than a drama queen
That ain’t me, I don’t play that game
I don’t need roses or a claim to fame
I want late-night talks and coffee breath
Not a six-pack love with a camera set
That ain’t me, I don’t fake the spark
I want messy hearts and midnight dark
So keep your island, keep your show
I want a love that’s slow to grow
She’s crying now, mascara streak
He’s texting someone else next week
They say it’s love, they say it’s fate
But it looks like ratings on a plate
I want the kind that takes its time
Not a montage cut to fit the rhyme
I want the fight, the grace, the glue
Not a season pass to something new
They say “forever” in a hot tub scene
But I need more than a drama queen
That ain’t me, I don’t play that game
I don’t need roses or a claim to fame
I want late-night talks and coffee breath
Not a six-pack love with a camera set
That ain’t me, I don’t fake the spark
I want messy hearts and midnight dark
So keep your island, keep your show
I want a love that’s slow to grow[
Give me someone who sees my worst
And still shows up, unrehearsed
Not a perfect line or a scripted kiss
Just a real damn life, and love like this
That ain’t me, I don’t play that game
I don’t need roses or a claim to fame
I want late-night talks and coffee breath
Not a six-pack love with a camera set
That ain’t me, I don’t fake the spark
I want messy hearts and midnight dark
So keep your island, keep your show
I want a love that’s slow to grow
So turn it off, and turn to me
‘Cause real love’s not on your TV

Slow To Grow

I don't love I take

[Intro]
I don’t beg. I don’t break.
I don’t give. I don’t ache.
I don’t dream, I don’t fake.
I don’t love— I take.


---

[Verse 1]
You wanted comfort wrapped in skin,
A gentle voice to pull you in.
But I’m the hunger you can’t tame,
The shadow breathing in your veins.


---

[Pre-Chorus]
You mistook touch for tenderness,
But my hands were built to possess.
You thought devotion made me weak—
Now you’re the language I don’t speak.


---

[Chorus]
I don’t love, I take.
I don’t heal, I break.
I don’t fall, I claim,
Every kiss, another flame.
I’m not your vow, I’m your ache,
I don’t love— I take.


---

[Verse 2]
You prayed for mercy, soft and kind,
But mercy never crossed my mind.
I keep what’s mine, I leave no trace,
A thief of breath, a holy face.


---

[Pre-Chorus]
You gave your soul, you gave it whole,
I carved my name into the hole.
You thought surrender set you free—
But now you drown in what is me.


---

[Chorus]
I don’t love, I take.
I don’t heal, I break.
I don’t fall, I claim,
Every kiss, another flame.
I’m not your vow, I’m your ache,
I don’t love— I take.


---

[Bridge]
No soft confessions, no gentle lies.
I am the truth behind your eyes.
You want salvation? There’s no escape.
Your heart’s already mine to shape.


---

[Final Chorus]
I don’t love, I take.
I don’t heal, I break.
I don’t whisper, I consume,
Like smoke that chokes a crowded room.
I’m not your vow, I’m your ache,
I don’t love— I take.


---

[Outro]
Say my name,
Feel it quake.
You don’t love—
You break.
And I don’t love…
I take.

I Don’t Love, I Take
