[Intro] Don’t say it yet. Let me watch your mouth form the words. [Verse 1] Don’t finish the sentence, let me clock the pause. You smile on beat — that’s the part that don’t thaw. Same room, warm light, story sits too clean. I hear the good version and I hunt the seam. You look like safety. That’s the problem, though. Anything that easy make the old me say no. I ain’t calling you a liar. Not out loud. I’m just running diagnostics in a crowded house. [Pre-Chorus] Give me one more pass. One more pass. If it still lines up, I’ll let the moment last. [Chorus] I want the truth in writing. Your mouth already edited. Unverified, I’m in it, but I ain’t committed. Say it slower. Say it straight. I’m right here — I just don’t take it on faith. Not yet. [Verse 2] You laugh like the punchline never had a cost. I rewind the laugh cause the timing seems off. Hands open, eyes soft, nothing out of place. That’s why I keep circling the same damn face. Trust want a witness. Trust want a stamp. All I got’s a feeling and a pulse in my chest like a clamp. I could let it ride. I could let it in. Or I could stay in the lobby and call that discipline. [Chorus] I want the truth in writing. Your mouth already edited. Unverified, I’m in it, but I ain’t committed. Say it slower. Say it straight. I’m right here — I just don’t take it on faith. Not yet. [Outro] Don’t finish the sentence. Let the quiet talk. If it’s real, it’ll still be real when the neon shuts off.
