Ruin Me Gently

[Verse 1] Velvet voice, sharp smile, dressed in sin Said “You’ll like it rough — but I’ll let you in” Hands like fire, lips like smoke Tied me up slow just to see if I’d choke [Pre-Chorus] You said safe words are for cowards Then bit down on my control Wrapped me up in your disaster And called it rock and roll [Chorus] Ruin me gently, make it a show Leave the bruises where the light won’t go Pull the strings ‘til I forget my name But tie the knot with a little champagne I don’t want safety, I want the flame So ruin me gently — and do it again [Verse 2] Choke-chain charm and a jet-black stare Told me kneel — and I forgot to care You whispered “good girl,” I lost my breath Every yes from you feels like cheating death [Pre-Chorus] You don’t ask, you just deliver Like a secret wrapped in lace If you’re poison, I’ll drink deeper Just 'cus I like the way you taste [Chorus] Ruin me gently, make it a show Leave the bruises where the light won’t go Pull the strings ‘til I forget my name But tie the knot with a little champagne I don’t want safety, I want the flame So ruin me gently — and do it again [Bridge] Wrap the rope around my wrists Make me beg for just one kiss Say you’ll hurt me like a vow I’m yours — undo me now [Final Chorus] Ruin me gently, break me in style Make the pain feel like a reason to smile Pull the strings ‘til I forget my name Then write it back on me in shame I don’t want safety, I want the flame So ruin me gently — (Ruin me gently…) And do it again
