Doublespeak (Reimagined)

[Intro]: You say one thing And let the silence finish the sentence. I learned how to read between lines I shouldn’t have had to decode. [Verse 1]: You promise safety with one breath, Then teach me how to flinch with the next. Every word feels carefully chosen, Every pause feels intentional. You don’t lie — You just never say the whole thing. And somehow I’m the problem For feeling the gap. [Pre-Chorus]: You tell me I’m overreacting, Then change the rules again. I’m not confused — I’m being trained. [Chorus]: Say it straight, say it now, Don’t dress it up and back me down. If you mean it, let it stand, Don’t hide behind a second plan. You can’t pull me forward, push me away, And act surprised when I break. I won’t translate your truth anymore — Say it or say goodbye. [Verse 2]: You keep receipts of my mistakes, But forget everything you said. Every apology comes with conditions, Every promise has an exit. You talk about honesty like it’s sacred, But only when it benefits you. I’m tired of carrying clarity alone While you profit from confusion. [Pre-Chorus]: You call this balance, But it always tips your way. I’m done guessing What version of you I’ll face today. [Chorus]: Say it straight, say it now, Don’t dress it up and back me down. If you mean it, let it stand, Don’t hide behind a second plan. You can’t pull me forward, push me away, And act surprised when I break. I won’t translate your truth anymore — Say it or say goodbye. [Bridge]: You say you care — Then show me. You say I matter — Then stop moving the line. You say I’m safe — Then why am I always braced? You say it’s love — Then why does it feel like a test? [Final Chorus]: Say it straight, say it now, This is the moment — choose your ground. I won’t bend to fit your game, I won’t bleed just to stay the same. If clarity costs me you, Then that’s a price I’ll pay. I won’t live inside your half-truths — Say it or walk away. [Outro]: Confusion was never an accident. It was the point.
