Wicked Game — Lusaint

Chapter: What the Ache Was Always Saying

Playlist: The Seeker's Lessons

Song: Lusaint - Wicked Game (Cover)

Here’s the truth about some loves.

They burn hot.

They burn fast.

And they burn right through the parts of you that were already cracked.

This song takes me back to those younger years.

The ones where I mistook intensity for love.

Where longing felt like destiny.

Where being chosen, even for a moment, felt worth the cost.

If you’ve ever walked willingly into heartbreak because it felt familiar, this song will understand you better than most people do.
