Just One Word…(feat. piano)(E)

V5.5

[Intro - Soft Solo Piano] Hey... Can I talk to you just for a second? It won't take long. [808 Drops] [Verse 1 - Ultra-Fast Conversational Rap] First of all, before you start, I'm not upset, I'm not taking it hard I'm not here to blame, complain, or fight There was just one thing that didn't feel right I don't really care, but I noticed it there And noticing something ain't saying I care I don't need an answer, that's totally fine But if you don't answer, then tell me why And that thing you said the other night— I'm sure you didn't mean it that way, right? But if you meant nothing, then why that tone? That's all that I wanted to know Not an interrogation, don't call it that If it feels like pressure, why is that? Maybe you're getting defensive because There's something behind what you said— ...or not? [Pre-Chorus - Piano Opens Up] So... I'll keep it short Just the important part Give me a moment And hear me out [Chorus - Soft Melodic Vocal, Massive 808] I'm not mad at you I just wanna know the reason I just wanna hear the truth I don't need anything more It should only take a second So I'll say it nice and clear No, I'm really not upset... Not yet, my dear♡ [Sub Drop] [Verse 2 - Faster Machine-Gun Flow] Also, something like this happened before Not that I remember or keep any score And I'm not saying this is a problem per se But calling it nothing feels funny to say Maybe it's more like a pattern or trend A tiny discomfort that happens again Not really a problem, but if it's not, Then what do you call it? I lost my thought— See? There you go getting quiet again I never said silence was some kind of sin If you're still thinking, just say that you are If you're not thinking, say you aren't I didn't say talk, I didn't say don't I'm only requesting a sign that you won't Just sit there sighing and make this unclear— Why did you look at the clock just now? [Hard Stop] ...Am I taking too long? [One Piano Note] This is still the preface. [808 Slams Back] [Verse 3 - Breathless Hyper-Fast Rap] Anyway, back to the actual point: Last night I sent you a message at nine You read it, then three hours, forty-two passed Before you replied with an “Okay” at last And waiting itself isn't why I feel bad If you were busy, then fine, I'm not mad I'm not criticizing how long it took It's just that right after, I happened to look— And no, I wasn't watching or checking your page It happened to show in my feed by mistake You looked like you had plenty to say over there While all I got back was one word with no care Not that I'm comparing or keeping a file I only saw what I saw for a while And once I have seen it, I can't make it unseen Do you know what I mean? [Pre-Chorus 2 - Tender Piano] So... I'll ask one thing One word will do Are you actually listening to me? [Spoken] Hey. [Chorus 2 - Beautiful Piano Anthem, Earth-Shaking Bass] I'm not mad at you I was maybe a little lonely I just wanna trust in you I don't wanna make this heavy It should only take a second Just be honest when you answer No, I'm really not upset... That depends on your answer♡ [Bridge - Piano Only, Intimate] Sorry... That got a little long. I thought that I could say it in a simpler way All I really— [Ultra-Low 808 Rumble] [Final Verse - Maximum-Speed No-Breath Rap] Wanted was to feel like maybe I mattered Not that I need to be first or be flattered I'm not controlling or asking too much I just would've liked one word or a touch And saying you thought that I already knew Doesn't help when I'm asking the question of you If I knew what you meant, I wouldn't have asked So making it sound like I'm reading it bad Means starting again from the top of the track Then you make that face like I'm talking too fast And if this is long, then whose fault is that? I could've been done if you simply came back With one little word, one simple reply So keeping it short, let me summarize— [Complete Stop] I missed you. [One Second Silence] [Final Chorus - Gentle Voice, Catastrophic Low-End] I'm not mad at you I just wanted you to get it All I needed was one word “I'm sorry” or “I'm home” It could've taken just a second That's all I was trying to say No, I'm really not upset... So hurry up and apologize♡ [Outro - Soft Solo Piano] ...That's all. [Pause] Oh— Can I say just one more thing? [808 Impact] [Hard Stop]
