We'll leave no heart unbroken
[Chorus]
Let's love, like 17
I'm in love with poisoning
Only bring your pretty, frightful gifts to me
Let's love and kill like 17 now
Let's love, like 17
I'm in love with your new screams
Only bring those pretty, frightful things to me
Let's love and kill like 17 now
Let’s run, and kill like 17 now
Let’s love, and kill like 17
