Intro — no beat, close mic, exhausted voice, long pauses between thoughts] (quiet laugh) Guess some people only know how to love temporarily… [Chorus — melodic rap, hypnotic bounce, stretched endings, let the last word drag] We went from all night calls… to dead air silence… Now your memory poison in my environment Still move around my head like unfinished sentences And I still hear your voice through the static Like my nervous system missed the message Funny how forever came with an expiration date Now every I love you sound pre-recorded when I hear it [Verse 1 — calm controlled pain, words breathing, pauses after punchlines] You said don’t leave… then slowly became the distance Turned into a ghost with perfect timing You knew every wound I kept disguising Now every scar got your handwriting Your side still sinking in the mattress Funny how silence got a physical presence I stopped checking if you texted tonight… but every vibration hijack my heartbeat You ever hate somebody and miss ‘em at once Heart still reaching… while your pride say done That’s addiction wearing heartbreak’s face Loving you felt beautiful in the worst way You turned my trust issues into survival instincts Now I read red flags like emergency exits And every I love you after you sound rehearsed with different lips You know what really ruined me You taught my anxiety… your nickname. [Pre-Chorus — quieter, dragged delivery, airy background vocal layers] Now every love song sound sarcastic Every late night feel cinematic Everybody say move on like broken people heal automatic [Chorus — fuller drums, layered vocals, harder 808s] We went from all night calls… to dead air silence… Now your memory poison in my environment Still move around my head like unfinished sentences And I still hear your voice through the static Like my nervous system missed the message Funny how forever came with an expiration date Now every I love you sound pre-recorded when I hear it [Verse 2 — emotional escalation, subtle triple bounce entering halfway, dragged syllables into rapid pocket] I got screenshots I should probably burn But pain make people archive what hurt Still know your birthday without trying That type damage don’t disappear with time Half my anger came from loving you Two cracked souls trying not to leak on each other One minute we talking names for the kids Next minute we dividing up the distance You started treating me like a conversation you already finished in your head The breakup happened weeks before goodbye… I just caught up late. Now it’s— Late night brain spiral heart racing phone lighting Mind drifting eyes blinking still thinking you might hit me Three missed calls in my imagination Whole relationship replaying in rotation I became hard to love the second I adapted to abandonment Now I treat love like a missed call… stare at it… and never answer You can give somebody every version of you… …and still end up temporary. [Outro — ambient hum, almost spoken, fading slowly] The worst heartbreaks aren’t loud… They’re quiet. They sound like somebody turning into a memory before your heart gives permission.
