“Clean Cut”/yer cronies

Verse 1 You smile carefully Like it costs you I notice everything You hope I won’t The room stays quiet On purpose Every gesture Means something else Pre-Chorus You don’t ask You imply I don’t agree I comply Chorus This isn’t love It’s a clean cut Measured close But not too much You lean in I lean back We keep the blade Right where it’s at Verse 2 You say my name Like a favor I say yours Like a debt We trade time For attention Neither one Overpays Pre-Chorus Nothing wasted Nothing free You don’t want me You want me here Chorus This isn’t love It’s a clean cut Sharp enough To feel like trust If it bleeds We look away That’s how we Keep it clean Bridge (nearly spoken, low) I know where You keep count You know when I’ll fold We don’t touch Without reason We don’t stay Without hold Final Chorus This isn’t love It’s a transaction Dressed up As attraction Close enough To feel intact Far enough To not collapse Outro No blood On the floor Just a silence We both afford
