Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You walk in smelling dangerous, confidence on your skin,
And every promise I made myself gets weak when you lean in.
You never bring me flowers, never tell me where you’ve been,
But one slow kiss from your mouth makes me invite you back again.
My better judgment leaves me when your fingers touch my waist,
You are everything I shouldn’t want and everything I crave.
I know you’re not dependable, but when you shut that bedroom door,
My mind says this is foolish while my body asks for more.

[Chorus]
You taste like trouble, slow and sweet,
The kind that leaves a woman weak and restless in her sheets.
You never offer promises, but pleasure makes me stay,
Then I hate myself for missing you before you drive away.
You taste like trouble, and I know exactly what you are,
A temporary heaven with a permanent scar.

[Verse 2]
You don’t ask about my feelings unless tears interrupt the night,
Then you hold me just enough to make me think you might do right.
You call me your addiction, but you never call me yours,
Always leave before the sunlight starts revealing something more.
I keep hoping one more evening might turn lust into a plan,
But you love the way I want you more than you could love the woman.
And I finally see the difference in the way you say my name:
You desire my surrender, not the life from which it came.

[Bridge]
A strong connection doesn’t mean a future should begin.
Some doors feel good opening but bring destruction walking in.
I can crave you and release you; both emotions can be true.
Wanting what is bad for me does not make it good to choose.

[Final Chorus]
You taste like trouble, slow and sweet,
But I’m done letting hunger place my dignity beneath.
I may miss your midnight kisses and the heat between my thighs,
But I won’t keep giving everything for temporary highs.
You taste like trouble, and temptation leaves a scar.
So tonight I’m choosing distance from exactly what you are.
