# Sweet Damage — Akaki

This track is about toxic attraction — something beautiful, dangerous, and impossible to resist. The image came from the contrast between heaven and pain: love that feels like fire, even when you know it will burn.

## Lyrics

### Verse 1

You move slow
Like smoke on glass
Soft in my hands
Too good to last
Your low voice
Under my skin
Sweet like a sin
I let it in

### Build-Up

You say my name
Like you can save me
I try to stay still
But my pulse betrays me

Hold me like—
don’t

### Chorus

Sweet damage
Running through my veins
Pretty like heaven
But it hits like pain
Sweet damage
I want it anyway
Love me like fire
Then tear me away

### Verse 2

You kiss slow
Then leave a stain
Gold on my mouth
Salt in my brain
I act calm
You hear the shake
You touch my heart
Like it can break

### Build-Up

You pull me close
Like you don’t mean it
I taste the lie
The second you breathe it

Hold me like—
go

### Chorus

Sweet damage
Running through my veins
Pretty like heaven
But it hits like pain
Sweet damage
I want it anyway
Love me like fire
Then tear me away

### Broken Post-Chorus

Damage
Damage
Still on my tongue
Still in my blood

### Breakdown

No cure in your kiss
No peace in your touch
I know what this is
I just want too much

### Bridge

No, I don’t need perfect
No, I don’t need safe
If it doesn’t cut open
I don’t feel a thing

### Final Chorus

Sweet damage
Running through my veins
Pretty like heaven
But it hits like pain
Sweet damage
I need it anyway
Love me like fire
Then burn me awake

### Outro

Smoke on my lips
Your name remains
