look at you

[Verse 1 – Mirror Conversation] I look at you — you look back at me Say, “Why you smiling fake like we good, D?” I say, “Chill… I’m just tryna get through.” You say, “Nah, you tired of pretending, it’s true.” I say, “People walk by, they don’t even see.” You say, “You the one hiding — don’t blame the street.” I say, “I’m fine.” You laugh, “Since when?” I say, “I’m holding it down.” You say, “Till when?” [Pre-Chorus – softer, internal echo] You say my pain run deep like waves collide I say I’m steady — you say I’m drowning inside I try to look away from those eyes But the storm don’t lie [Chorus – keep as is] When the world gets cold and the nights feel endless You hide those scars, but I’ve been defenseless You walk that edge just tryna feel But baby your life’s worth more than what you can steal Don’t be reckless… [Verse 2 – more intense back-and-forth] You say, “You cry in the dark, don’t front.” I say, “Man, everybody got something.” You say, “You whisper goodbye in your head.” I say, “Stop.” You say, “I said what I said.” I say, “The mirror don’t even know me.” You say, “You the one who changed slowly.” I say, “I’m just tired.” You say, “Of what?” I say, “Trying to be strong.” You say, “And what has that got you?” [Bridge – keep structure, conversational tone added] I see your anger painted in red You just want peace in your head Don’t fade away — stay in your skin Let me in… just let me in (soft ad-lib: “It’s just me… it’s just us…”) [Chorus – same] When the world gets cold and the nights feel endless You hide those scars, but I’ve been defenseless You walk that edge just tryna feel But baby your life’s worth more than what you can steal Don’t be reckless… [Final Chorus – same] Don’t be reckless… You’re worth the fight, I hope you know The storm will pass, the sun will show
