Tell Me Why (Double Standards) – DamianVibe Original
[Intro] [Soft bassline, subtle synths, slow groove] (Deep breath) Mmm… yeah... Guess I missed the memo again. --- [Verse 1] They say “man up,” don’t cry Swallow pain, just walk on by She speaks her truth — she’s bold and raw I speak my truth? They call it “flawed” [deep bass pulse] (Here we go...) --- [Pre-Chorus] She can judge my hair, my height Say I ain’t her perfect type But if I flip and do the same I’m toxic, cold — I’m shamed [trap hats roll in] (That’s fair… I guess?) --- [Chorus] Double standards, twisted games One is praised, the other shamed If I give, I must not need If she takes, she’s “livin’ free” Why? Why? Why? [echo fx] (Still waitin’ for an answer…) --- [Verse 2] Date night, check comes through I pay — that’s still the rule But if I ask “can we split this time?” Suddenly I’ve crossed a line [bass build – drop] (Plot twist: I still paid.) She’s a boss if she grinds all week I do the same? I’m “absentee” She leaves, I owe her dues But if I fall — I lose --- [Pre-Chorus] She can cry, she can bend She gets space and grace to mend Me? I bleed in silence, flat They say “real men don’t crack” [piano fades] (Yeah… no pressure.) --- [Chorus] Double standards, twisted games One is praised, the other blamed If I give, I must not need If she takes, she’s “livin’ free” Why? Why? Why? [distorted echo vox] (And I oop—) --- [Bridge] Courtroom’s cold — her words hold weight Even lies don’t change her fate Hands that hurt don’t pick a side But I’m the one they vilify [glitchy synth tension rises] If I break, I break alone No soft landin’, no safe zone Tell me why it’s built this way Or should I fake it, play okay? --- [Final Chorus] Double standards, twisted games One walks free — I burn in flames If I give, I must not bleed If she takes, she’s “findin’ me” Why? Why? Why? [Outro – slow fade with glitched vocal filter] (Yeah… just let me know when life gets updated.) Tell me why...
