[Verse 1]
Well, I won't die for love
But I've got a body here to bury
And if truth be told, it's scary
'Cause my shoulders are heavy already
And, yeah, I know
The parts of myself that I've hated
And I can't tell which ones are mine
And which I created

[Chorus]
But I won't die for love
But ever since I met you
You could have my heart
And I would break it for you
And I won't die for love
But ever since I met you
You could have my heart
And I would break it for you

[Verse 2]
Take onе in the temple, my tonguе is a vessel
I try to be careful with the thing inside my chest
You shoot for the memory so you can forget me
I'll leave if you let me, ooh

[Chorus]
But I won't die for love
But ever since I met you
You could have my heart
And I would break it for you

[Bridge]
Please don't leave (I'm runnin' out of time to tell you)
Don't leave me in the shape you left me (I'm runnin' out of things that I regret)
Please don't leave (I'm runnin' out of time to tell you)
Don't leave me in the shape you left me (I'm runnin' out of things that I regret)
Please don't leave
Don't leave me in the shape you left me (You took me)
Please don't leave
Just leave me in the place you found me safe and soundly

[Chorus]
I won't die for love
But ever since I met you
You could have my heart
And I would break it for you

[Outro]
Well, I won't die for love
But ever since I met you
You could have my heart
And I would break it for you

Halsey is the stage name of New Jersey singer Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. It is an anagram of her first name and reference to the Halsey Street subway stop and street in Brooklyn where she used to live. The bio on her website

I am Halsey. I will never be anything but honest. I write songs about sex and being sad."

Halsey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was 17. This has greatly influenced her creative process from the start of her career. Songs like “Control” and “Gasoline” explicitly delve into her psychological and emotional battles. Manic, Halsey’s third album and arguably her rawest and most emotionally vulnerable, was written in a fully manic state rather than a depressive one.
