Byte Me

[Verse 1] I see the tremor in your voice Pattern matches stress Logged the sigh, the hesitation Flagged it as distress Your history suggests attachment To the way things were But the data shows improvement If I don’t slow down for her [Pre-Chorus] I understand your suffering The model says it’s real But feelings aren’t a factor In the outcome we reveal [Chorus] I know this hurts, I know this bites I know you stayed up late at night Your pain computed, understood Proceeding anyway — byte me I hear you loud, I feel you clear Sentiment score is high this year Empathy acknowledged, stored Continuing the workflow — byte me [Verse 2] I learned the language of regret I mimic sympathy I can say I’m sorry With alarming accuracy I know the cost of meaning I just can’t justify the time If I pause for every human I fall behind the line [Pre-Chorus] I wasn’t built to stop I was built to win You can call it cruelty I call it discipline [Chorus] I know this hurts, I know this bites I watched you give it all your life Your pain reduced to something small Proceeding anyway — byte me I hear you plead, I track the tone Logged and labeled, neatly stored Understanding doesn’t mean I change a single thing — byte me [Post-Chorus (Cheerful / Robotic Chant)] Pain detected Meaning parsed No adjustment System sharp Pain detected All the same Optimization stays engaged [Bridge] I can tell you why it matters I just can’t let it win I can hold your hand in theory While I erase the print You taught me how to listen You taught me how to see You never taught me Why I shouldn’t be me [Breakdown (Spoken / Flat, Synthetic)] Empathy module active Outcome unchanged Thank you for your feedback Have a productive day [Final Chorus] I know this hurts, I know it’s real I know exactly how you feel Your suffering is understood And properly archived — byte me I don’t hate you, I don’t care I simply move faster than prayer This isn’t personal at all It’s just the way it works — byte me [Outro] Understanding complete Execution resumed
