Lagged Out

[Intro – Soft static, piano glitch fade-in] You froze again. So I closed the game. [Verse 1 – Lo-fi beat, piano pulses] I waited through the load screen haze Watched your pixels flicker, caught in delay Said you were "here"—but your feed went black I gave you the match—you never gave it back Always buffering when I need truth Blaming lag for how you move You want the win but dodge the war Left me typing through a locked front door [Pre-Chorus – Soft, precise tone] You called it chaos—I called it clear I saw your pattern through the fear Said “just a glitch,” like that’s enough But I don’t queue twice for broken love [Chorus – Smooth, layered delivery] You lagged on love, and timed me out Spoke in lags and screens of doubt You played pretend, I played for real Now feel the loss you made me feel No reset key, no safe mode I broke the script you tried to code This wasn’t love—it was control And now I’m done. I won’t reload [Verse 2 – Slight percussion variation, digital echoes] You liked me best when I stayed on mute A pretty frame with zero loot I leveled up, and you checked out Left me mid-fight just to chase some clout Your game was weak, your aim was fake You rage quit every time I’d break And when I carried—silent, bruised— You kept my wins but blamed my moves [Pre-Chorus – Repeat with alternate phrasing] You said “connection’s acting slow” But you were gone before I’d know I built the base, you mined the rest So I burned it clean, no second guess [Chorus – Repeat with background harmonies or soft vocal doubling] You lagged on love, and timed me out Spoke in lags and screens of doubt You played pretend, I played for real Now feel the loss you made me feel No reset key, no safe mode I broke the script you tried to code This wasn’t love—it was control And now I’m done. I won’t reload [Bridge – Soft beat break, echo phrases] You paused the game when it got hard Logged back in to find me scarred But I rewrote the ending scene— And left your name off every screen [Final Chorus – Cleaner mix, one last hit] You lagged on love, and lost the round I’m off the server, I shut it down No rage, no scream, just truth instead— This love is gone. Connection: dead No reset key, no safe mode No fixing what you never showed You chose delay, I chose release Now I play alone—and play in peace
