[Intro | controlled suspicion | breath-close pickup | descending piano motif, low string pulse, deep rhythmic bass foundation | restrained but continuous | narrow and intimate] Yeah… [Verse 1 | observant, cold | low conversational tenor, clipped endings | dry kick-rim groove, descending piano motif, sub bass and low string pulse continue beneath vocal | controlled groove | close center] I saw the glow before you turned the screen You froze for half a second Turned it face-down too late Different tone Different hands Different way you said my name I never had to ask Your face gave it away [Pre-Chorus | quiet certainty | phrasing tightens, light mixed-register lift | continuous rhythm section, piano motif persists, strings widen into syncopated figures | rising tension without dropout | slightly wider] Now your voice shakes Now you need me near Funny how the tears show up When the truth gets here [Chorus | dismissive, controlled | agile mixed tenor with selective falsetto releases, tight harmony responses | full syncopated groove, deep sub, piano motif, rhythmic strings and percussion locked together | driving and sustained | wider depth] Crocodile tears Let ’em fall, let ’em fall You weren’t sorry when you did it Don’t get sorry now Crocodile tears Save ’em for the mirror You don’t miss me You miss getting away [Verse 2 | sharper contempt | close rhythmic delivery, short phrases | full underlying groove continues with reduced orchestral width, persistent bassline, piano and rim pattern | lean but never empty | intimate center] Now you say it meant nothing Like that makes it clean Your voice breaks right on cue You reach I step back Don’t tell me you love me Tell that to the screen [Pre-Chorus | detached | almost spoken opening, rising mixed register at the end | continuous bass and drum pocket, suspended strings moving above persistent piano rhythm | tightening without stopping | dry and close] No raised voice No last scene Just take your hands Off me [Realization Drop | finality | exposed low tenor, almost no vibrato | groove remains underneath at reduced intensity, deep sub heartbeat, muted kick, repeating piano figure and sustained low strings | controlled reduction, never silent | close center] It’s not anger It’s not pain It’s just over You don’t lose me You just chose Something smaller [Final Chorus | cold release | stronger mixed tenor, selective high falsetto layers behind lead | continuous full groove, deeper sub movement, piano motif reinforced, rhythmic strings expanding around drums and bass | full, propulsive, controlled | broad cinematic depth behind close lead] Crocodile tears Let ’em fall, let ’em fall You weren’t sorry when you did it Don’t get sorry now Crocodile tears Save ’em for the mirror You don’t miss me You miss getting away Crocodile tears Not on me [Outro | detached | layered breathy falsetto fading behind dry lead | groove gradually simplifies while bass pulse, piano motif and low strings continue through the fade | sustained motion | widening gradually] Not on me… Not on me…
