I don’t wanna see your face when you leave
Midnight’s too quiet for me to breathe
I never meant to love you, but here I am
Holding onto shadows like they’ll hold me back
Ha

[Pre-Chorus]
Now
Ah
Kill the streetlights
I don’t wanna see the truth
Now
Turn your phone off
You’re done.
We’re done.

[Chorus]
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
Say you ever felt the way I do
Tell me I’m wrong
Just tell me I’m wrong
You’re gone. Gone.

Neh

[Verse 2]
It’s been about five lifetimes since you last cared at all
Love was just a habit you could drop
Nothing but a body next to you
But we’re all ghosts
That’s the secret
No one ever stays for real
Everyone leaves when the music stops

[Pre-Chorus]
Now
Ah
Kill the streetlights
I don’t wanna see the truth
Now
Turn your phone off
You’re done.
We’re done.

[Chorus]
Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
Say you ever felt the way I do
Tell me I’m wrong
Just tell me I’m wrong
You’re gone. Gone.

[Outro]
I’m here, you’re nowhere
So lost, so lost

Ghost of You

I wear the scars like fragile lace,
Each cut a story, each line your trace.
Your name’s a whisper that breaks the night,
A cruel addiction, wrong felt so right.
Your love was poison in a crystal glass,
I drank it down, let the moment last.
Now the mirror shows what I became,
A shadow branded with your name.

(Pre-Chorus)
Your hands, they built me, then tore me apart,
Left me bleeding in the ruins of my heart.
Every promise, a blade you wielded,
Every kiss, a wound unhealed yet.

(Chorus)
Wounded, but still I crawl,
Through the ashes of it all.
Lust burned bright, but love was blind,
Now I’m searching for the life I left behind.
Wounded, but you still own,
The darkest parts I call my own.
Pain and passion, bound and chained,
A love that cuts, a soul that’s stained.

(Verse 2)
Your eyes, they lit the darkest skies,
But the truth was buried in your lies.
I fell for you like a moth to flame,
And in your fire, I lost my name.
You broke me gently, piece by piece,
A cruel seduction that would never cease.
Now I’m a ghost in this endless dance,
Caught in the rhythm of a broken trance.

(Pre-Chorus)
You gave me heaven, but it tasted of sin,
Pulled me close, then caged me in.
Every touch, a wound I cherished,
Every tear, a memory perished.

(Chorus)
Wounded, but still I crawl,
Through the ashes of it all.
Lust burned bright, but love was blind,
Now I’m searching for the life I left behind.
Wounded, but you still own,
The darkest parts I call my own.
Pain and passion, bound and chained,
A love that cuts, a soul that’s stained.

(Bridge)
(Spoken over haunting synths)
I gave you everything, you took even more,
I opened my heart, you opened a war.
Now I’m caught in the echoes, the whispers, the pain,
Wounded, but somehow I rise again.

(Chorus)
Wounded, but still I crawl,
Through the ashes of it all.
Lust burned bright, but love was blind,
Now I’m searching for the life I left behind.
Wounded, but you still own,
The darkest parts I call my own.
Pain and passion, bound and chained,
A love that cuts, a soul that’s stained.

(Outro)
(Soft, distorted vocals)
Wounded, yet I’m still alive,
Through the dark, I will survive.
Your shadow fades, but the pain remains,
A love that bled, a heart in chains.

Wounded

I tried to hold you through the night,
But you were lost inside your mind.
Fighting ghosts I couldn’t see,
A war you waged before you met me.

Verse 1
You built your walls so high,
A fortress made of tears and time.
I climbed and bled, I swore I’d stay,
But some scars never fade away.

You spoke in silence, buried deep,
Haunted by things you couldn’t keep.
You tried to love but pulled away,
I tried to fix what I couldn’t save.

Pre-Chorus
You were lost before I found you,
Drowning in a past that drowns you.
I tried to fight, I tried to stay,
But some things never go away.

Chorus
It’s nobody’s fault, but it still hurts,
I tried to love you, but love made it worse.
I gave you my hands, I gave you my soul,
But some hearts are just too cold.
It’s nobody’s fault, we played our part,
But you can’t love when you’ve lost your heart.
So I let go, I broke free,
Some things aren’t meant to be.

Verse 2
You wore your pain like second skin,
A battle lost before it could begin.
Every whisper, every sigh,
Felt like echoes from another life.

I saw the way you looked through me,
Like love was just a cruel disease.
No matter how I tried to heal,
The past was always far too real.

Pre-Chorus
You were lost before I found you,
Drowning in a past that drowns you.
I tried to fight, I tried to stay,
But some things never go away.

Chorus
It’s nobody’s fault, but it still hurts,
I tried to love you, but love made it worse.
I gave you my hands, I gave you my soul,
But some hearts are just too cold.
It’s nobody’s fault, we played our part,
But you can’t love when you’ve lost your heart.
So I let go, I broke free,
Some things aren’t meant to be.

Bridge
I don’t blame you, I don’t blame me,
Some wounds run too deep to see.
I gave you light, but you chose the dark,
And love was never meant to be this hard.

Chorus
It’s nobody’s fault, but it still hurts,
I tried to love you, but love made it worse.
I gave you my hands, I gave you my soul,
But some hearts are just too cold.
It’s nobody’s fault, we played our part,
But you can’t love when you’ve lost your heart.
So I let go, I broke free,
Some things aren’t meant to be.

Outro
I tried to hold you through the night…
But you were lost inside your mind.
Some things can’t be changed…
Some things aren’t meant to stay.

Nobody's Fault

[Verse 1] 
I feel your breath like a ghost on my skin
A hollow touch, a counterfeit sin
You swore you loved me, but your words don’t melt
Just another lie wrapped in someone else

Your hands were warm, but your heart was stone
A hollow throne for a shattered soul
I traced your veins, but they led to hell
Love was just another spell

[Pre-Chorus] 
Oh, I see through the cracks in your disguise
A pretty face with a razor mind
Did you ever bleed? Did you ever burn?
Or was I just another bridge to watch twist and turn?

[Chorus]
You’re cold as ice, you never break
Every kiss was just a grave mistake
You’re cold as ice, you never feel
Tell me, was it ever real?

You’re cold as ice, I played the fool
You wore love like a cheap perfume
You’re cold as ice, you never die
A heart like yours was built to lie

[Verse 2] 
You pull the strings, you fake the game
A hollow queen with a borrowed name
Your lips taste sweet, but they cut like glass
Every love you touch, it never lasts

Some build towers, some build thrones
But all you leave behind is bones
Your kiss is poison, your touch is death
I should have left the first time you said—

[Pre-Chorus] 
Oh, I see through the cracks in your disguise
A pretty face with a razor mind
Did you ever bleed? Did you ever burn?
Or was I just another bridge to watch twist and turn?

[Chorus]
You’re cold as ice, you never break
Every kiss was just a grave mistake
You’re cold as ice, you never feel
Tell me, was it ever real?

You’re cold as ice, I played the fool
You wore love like a cheap perfume
You’re cold as ice, you never die
A heart like yours was built to lie

[Bridge] 
You never loved, you never cared
You just fed on the ones who dared
You build them up, then tear them down
Smile pretty while they drown


[Final Chorus]
You’re cold as ice, you never break
Every kiss was just a grave mistake
You’re cold as ice, you never feel
Tell me, was it ever real?

You’re cold as ice, I played the fool
You wore love like a cheap perfume
You’re cold as ice, you never die
A heart like yours was built to lie

[Outro]
I should’ve known, I should’ve run
But you were frost beneath the sun
No love, no soul, no paradise
Just empty veins, cold as ice

© 2025 Lyrics and Music by Chris Bourke

Cold as Ice

You lit up rooms like city lights,
Burned so bright you blurred the lines.
Every moment felt too fast,
Every sunrise, built to crash.

Then one night, you turned on me,
Told me to go, told me to leave.
No warning signs, no reasons why,
Just the fire in your eyes.



[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t fight, I didn’t stay,
I thought you just pushed love away.
Now I see the weight you bore,
Now I know, but you’re not here anymore.


[Chorus]
Take me back, back to the beginning,
Before the highs turned into distance.
If I had known the storm was in your head,
I’d have stood in the rain with you instead.

Take me back, before the quiet,
Before the echoes turned to silence.
If I had known the storm ahead,
I’d have stayed, I’d have stood in the rain with you instead.

I still hear the way you screamed,
Your voice still haunts me in my dreams.
You pushed me out, but now I see,
You weren’t leaving—you were losing you and me.

I should have stayed outside your door,
I should have fought, I should have sworn,
To pull you back before you fell,
But I just listened when you yelled.


[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t fight, I didn’t stay,
I thought you just pushed love away.
Now I see the weight you bore,
Now I know, but you’re not here anymore.

[Final Chorus]
Take me back, back to the beginning,
Before the highs turned into distance.
If I had known the storm was in your head,
I’d have stood in the rain with you instead.

Take me back, before the quiet,
Before the echoes turned to silence.
If I had known the storm ahead,
I’d have stayed, I’d have stood in the rain with you instead.

GONNA GET IT

Gonna get it, whine and set it
Pon the dancefloor, girl don’t regret it
Lights down low, and the vibe so heavy
Work that thing like the waistline deadly

Gonna get it, heat like fire
Temptation real, and I’m risin’ higher
No slow down, girl take it steady
Tonight’s the night — we GONNA GET IT!

Mi step inna the club and the beat just slap
Body dem a bounce and the mood don’t drop
Eyes lock eyes and the riddim just talk
She a wine like a queen, but she bad like WAP

Gyaldem pull up with the full ten flex
Move like thunder, breakin’ necks
Mi nah come fi chat or text
Just one look and she know what’s next

Yeah, she move like a spell
She got me under
Rude gyal rhythm
Make a man go under
Whine slow, bring it back — real wonder
Tick tick tick, boom like thunder

Gonna get it, whine and set it
Pon the dancefloor, girl don’t regret it
Lights down low, and the vibe so heavy
Work that thing like the waistline deadly

Gonna get it, heat like fire
Temptation real, and I’m risin’ higher
No slow down, girl take it steady
Tonight’s the night — we GONNA GET IT!

Gonna get it, whine and set it
Pon the dancefloor, girl don’t regret it
Turn it up now, break the levee
Tonight’s the night — we GONNA GET IT!

Gonna Get It

PERFECT

Every mess I’ve made, you make it shine
You crash my chaos into a straight line
Like a glitch in time, you're breaking rules
But somehow, babe, you make it cool

You’re not safe, but you feel like home
You're the reason I don’t feel alone
Every flaw, every scar I hide
You saw it all and still stayed by my side

Perfect! Perfect!
Even when it's not, it still feels worth it
Perfect! Perfect!
You and me, no need to word it
Perfect! Perfect!
Hearts in sync, we spin, we surf it
Perfect… so perfect…
Flawed as hell but still so worth it

You read my mind with just one stare
You're the chaos I choose, and I don’t care
We don’t fit, but we lock so tight
Like a puzzle made wrong that feels so right

We're that fire that never fades
We’re the thrill in every risk I take
Like a beat that never breaks
You're my calm inside the quake

Perfect! Perfect!
Even when it's rough, you make it worth it
Perfect! Perfect!
No need to fake it, we just serve it
Perfect! Perfect!
Imperfect love, but damn we work it
Perfect… so perfect…
You and me – it's picture perfect

Not always easy.
Not always clean.
But somehow,
You're the best thing I've ever seen.

Perfect! Perfect!
Messy, raw, and still so perfect
Perfect! Perfect!
Every crack just makes it worth it
Perfect! Perfect!
Can't define it, but I feel it
Perfect… so perfect…
If this is wrong, I’ll still believe it

Perfect… perfect…
You’re my kind of perfect…
(Don’t need it to make sense…)
Just want you…

DELIRIOUS

Can’t feel my face…
Can’t hear my name…
All I feel is bass...
I’m… delirious.

Heartbeat kicks in stereo
Sweat drips down like vertigo
Flashing lights, I lose control
Who am I? I don’t even know

You touch my skin, I’m not the same
Mind erased, just your name
No up, no down, no shame
Just fire running through my veins

Body bending, soul’s on fire
This ain't love, it’s something higher
Spin me ‘round, take me deep
I don’t want to come back from this heat

Delirious!
I’m lost in you, mysterious
Delirious!
You got me wild and dangerous
Delirious!
My mind’s gone, feelin’ furious
Delirious!
Don’t stop now, let’s get serious

Lips on lips, can't tell what’s real
Fiction feels like how I heal
You’re my high, you’re my low
I’m addicted to your glow

Can’t escape, don’t want to try
Every beat’s a lullaby
You’re the fever I adore
Take me under, give me more

Can’t explain, don’t want to fight
You’re my wrong that feels so right
Bite my lip, close my eyes
We’re just chemicals tonight

Delirious!
You're fire in my consciousness
Delirious!
Electric touch and recklessness
Delirious!
I’m crashing fast and borderless
Delirious!
And I never want less

Sweat. Skin. Sirens in my head.
You and me — no sleep, no sense, no end.
This is not sane.
But I like it that way.

Delirious!
No escape, no name, just this
Delirious!
We dance like we don’t exist
Delirious!
No gravity, just abyss
Delirious!
And I swear I was made for this

I’m…
De-li-ri-ous…

STATIC

-------------------
Don’t talk…
Just listen.
I’ll make your heart stop… or start.

I kiss like sugar, cut like glass
One sweet taste then I’ll bite your ass
Turn you on, then turn you cold
I’m your fever dream — I’ll never get old

Touch me wrong, I’ll make you bleed
Feed me love, I’ll make you need
I’m a hurricane in a party dress
Sweet little angel… (snap) hot mess

I’m your noise and your quiet
Your lullaby and your riot
Turn me up, feel the static
Baby, I’m automatic

STATIC!
Shock your veins, I’m your habit
STATIC!
Every kiss is pure electric
STATIC!
Say my name, make it tragic
STATIC… STATIC…
You love it ‘cause I’m manic


I’ll love you slow, then tear your skin
Let you out, then pull you back in
Every mood swing’s a little gift
You never know when I’m gonna switch

I’ll scream your name, then laugh in your face
Kiss your mouth, then vanish without a trace
I’m your pleasure, I’m your fight
Your sweetest sin, your worst night

I’m your noise and your quiet
Your lullaby and your riot
Turn me up, feel the static
Baby, I’m automatic

STATIC!
Shock your veins, I’m your habit
STATIC!
Every kiss is pure electric
STATIC!
Say my name, make it tragic
STATIC… STATIC…
You love it ‘cause I’m manic

Shhh…
Don’t. Blink. Twice.
It only hurts…
When I’m nice.
STATIC!

STATIC!
Shock your veins, I’m your habit
STATIC!
Every touch is pure electric
STATIC!
Say my name, make it tragic
STATIC… STATIC…
You’ll never break this magic

Oops… did I hurt you?
Good.

LITHIUM
-----------------------

You calm me…
You break me…
You make me want… more.


You’re the pill I can’t refuse
Every hit’s a different truth
Highs so bright they burn my eyes
Lows so deep, I don’t survive

You’re the silence, you’re the scream
You’re the ghost inside my dream
Every taste pulls me apart
You’re the science in my heart


One dose…
One more…
I’m crawling back to your door
No cure…
No end…
I’ll take this hit again


Lithium!
Running through my veins, you’re dangerous
Lithium!
Every breath is feeling poisonous
Lithium!
You’re my high, my holy sin
Lithium… lithium…
Pull me under, let me swim


I’m not stable, I’m not sane
But with you, I love the pain
You dissolve inside my skin
And I can’t tell where you’ve been

Every rush pulls me higher
Every touch feeds the fire
I can’t stop, I can’t pretend
You’re my start, you’re my end


One dose…
One more…
I’m crawling back to your door
No cure…
No end…
I’ll take this hit again


Lithium!
Running through my veins, you’re dangerous
Lithium!
Every breath is feeling poisonous
Lithium!
You’re my high, my holy sin
Lithium… lithium…
Pull me under, let me swim


You keep me calm…
You keep me wild…
You make me yours…
Like a twisted child.


Lithium!
Running through my veins, you’re dangerous
Lithium!
Every breath is feeling poisonous
Lithium!
You’re my high, my holy sin
Lithium… lithium…
Pull me under, let me swim


Lithium…
Lithium…

GASOLINE
------------------

We spark up and we can’t back down
Every touch is a battleground
Your lips hit me like a flash grenade
One wrong move and we both get flames

You light me up, I burn too fast
Every kiss just fuels the blast
We’re toxic, yeah, but we both agree
We’d rather die than lose this heat


You pour the fuel, I bring the spark
We light it up, we own the dark
If you can’t handle what you see
Then baby, just… let it be


Gasoline!
We burn it up, turn night obscene
Gasoline!
Our love’s a fire, no in-between
Gasoline!
Strike me once, I’ll light the scene
Gasoline… gasoline…
If you can’t handle the heat — let it burn


We’re high risk, yeah, we play that game
Every fight just fans the flame
You’re danger dressed in velvet skin
I’m hooked, I’ll always give in

We’re the spark in the midnight air
Wild hearts, we don’t play fair
You touch me once, I’ll never learn
If it’s too hot — let it burn


You pour the fuel, I bring the spark
We light it up, we own the dark
If you can’t handle what you see
Then baby, just… let it be


Gasoline!
We burn it up, turn night obscene
Gasoline!
Our love’s a fire, no in-between
Gasoline!
Strike me once, I’ll light the scene
Gasoline… gasoline…
If you can’t handle the heat — let it burn


Too hot to hold…
Too wild to tame…
We’re not here to play safe…
We’re here to explode.


Gasoline!
We set the sky on kerosene
Gasoline!
Our fire’s raw, our fire’s mean
Gasoline!
Strike me twice, I’ll still ignite the scene
Gasoline… gasoline…
If you can’t handle the heat — let it burn


Let it burn…
Let it burn…
Gasoline…
