Verse 1 Neon buzzing through the curtains Hotel room still smells like smoke You don’t ask where I’m from I don’t ask what you know Phone face down on the dresser World can wait outside this door I been carrying weight all season Tonight I’m setting it on the floor You say you know who I am I say, “That ain’t why you here” You laugh, pull me closer Say, “Good—keep it right there” ⸻ Pre-Chorus I ain’t hiding, I ain’t ashamed Just don’t need no names tonight We both know how this ends So let’s not pretend it’s more than right now ⸻ Chorus Don’t ask my last name tonight Don’t Google me with the lights on low Let’s live in the dark just right Like tomorrow don’t gotta know I carry crowns in the daylight Pressure heavy, fame in sight But right now, I’m just flesh and fire So don’t ask my last name tonight ⸻ Verse 2 Red lipstick on a whiskey glass Boot heels by the bed You say you like a man who wins I say I like how you move your head You trace scars I don’t talk about Say, “Must be hard being him” I say, “Harder than it looks” Then you pull me right back in No promises, no questions Just heat and bad decisions I’ll go back to being untouchable When the sun starts creeping in ⸻ Pre-Chorus I got a future everybody want I got a name they chant real loud But in this room, stripped of it all I’m just a man, nothing else allowed ⸻ Chorus Don’t ask my last name tonight Don’t care what the papers say Let’s stay right here in the moment Before the world gets in the way I play hero under bright lights Carry cities on my spine But right now, I’m just breath and desire So don’t ask my last name tonight ⸻ Bridge Tomorrow I’ll be disciplined Tomorrow I’ll be clean But legends don’t get built Without nights no one sees I know the risk, I know the cost I know this ain’t wise But pressure makes you crave release And I ain’t bulletproof tonight ⸻ Final Chorus Don’t ask my last name tonight Let it die with the morning sun Let this stay between these walls Like it never really was They can cheer me, they can judge me But right now, they don’t exist I been living for the future Let me disappear in this ⸻ Outro (Sheets rustle. Phone vibrates… ignored.) Yeah… just tonight.
