Write an alternative rock song about fighting with your own destructive habits and being stuck in a toxic relationship that feels impossible to leave. Use raw, confessional lyrics with self-deprecating humor and bitter honesty. Show moments of false hope, self-awareness, and desperation, all wrapped in late-night imagery (bars, cigarettes, phone calls after 2 a.m.). The chorus should highlight how being together only makes things worse, even if you both wish it didn’t. Tone: regretful, sarcastic, vulnerable.
The image captures a moment of vulnerability between two people, a man and a woman, who are standing close to each other. They appear to be in a toxic relationship, as they are both smoking cigarettes, which is a destructive habit. The man and woman are looking at each other, possibly discussing their feelings or trying to find a way out of their current situation. The scene is set in a dark environment, with a bar in the background, which adds to the late-night atmosphere. The overall tone of the image is regretful and sarcastic, as the couple seems to be stuck in a cycle of self-destruction and toxic behavior.

[Verse 1] I called you at 2:13, slurring through the static Barstool truths, ashtray magic — our love's so cinematic You laughed like a punchline, I cried like a joke Every fight ends in silence and cigarette smoke [Pre-Chorus] But tonight I thought maybe you'd mean it When you said, \"I need you,\" like a secret [Chorus] We're gasoline and open flame Wishing rain would put out the shame You pull me close, I pull a lie We both say we're trying — we never say goodbye Together we break just right Wrong enough to feel like light [Verse 2] You said, \"You’re not the villain, just a beautiful mess\" I said, \"You're the car crash I can't not caress\" Your love tastes like whiskey with a twist of regret I keep drinking the reruns, pretending I forget [Pre-Chorus] I write songs in the notes app I’ll never send You save my number just to scroll and pretend [Chorus] We're gasoline and open flame Wishing rain would put out the shame You pull me close, I pull a lie We both say we're trying — we never say goodbye Together we break just right Wrong enough to feel like light [Bridge] There's no clean break from a story so soaked In late-night calls and promises smoked You're the ache I keep just to feel alive We joke, \"This time we’ll thrive\" Right before the dive [Outro] [Repeat Chorus] Together we break just right Wrong enough to feel like light Still too scared to turn off the night Still too in love with the fight [Fade Out]
