You're stalking me And I'm hunting you

Inspired by Episode 5, Season 1, of Killing Eve. The relationship developing between Sandra Oh's character, Eve, and the assassin, Jodie Comer's character, Villanelle, is fascinating. 

You're stalking me 
(And I'm hunting you)

You're stalking me 
And I'm hunting you
Around and around we go 
Fascinating times for two 

Killer on the loose
Always leaving clues 
You're a psychopath for sure
And yet you long to be understood 

You know that I get you
Maybe we're more alike than not
If I try to kill you, dear
Would it make you cold or hot?

No one truly knows you
What pushes all your buttons 
But I am unraveling the chaos 
Your mind has become my conundrum 

The trail of bodies you leave 
Like a cat brings in a mouse
Reminds me that you're deadly 
Of empathy, you'll never give an ounce

One day we'll come face to face 
And there'll be a choice to be made 
Know that I will never back down 
I'm determined and I'm brave

Maybe not like you are
An assassin with no fears 
But I am on a mission 
And I won't give up for years

You're stalking me 
And I'm hunting you
Around and around we go 
Fascinating times for two
