I Don't Know You Anymore

[Intro: low room tone, reversed guitar, dry close vocal] Yeah Funny, innit? Used to know everything about you Now I don't know shit [Verse 1: intimate melodic rap, sparse percussion] Knew how you took your coffee Knew when you couldn't sleep Knew when you said “I'm fine” What you really mean Knew every little scar Every look in your eyes Could tell when something changed Before you told me why Now I don't know where you go Who you call when you're low Who gets the side of you I used to know Who hears that laugh Who knows that face Who gets the version of you That used to feel like my place [Pre-Chorus: warm R&B lift, low stacked harmony] How does somebody get that close Then turn into someone you don't know? How do I know your skin, your fears But not the person standing here? [Chorus: haunting melodic hook, wider harmonies] I don't know you anymore That's the part that hurts the most Used to know you with the lights off Now you're somebody I don't know I knew your body Knew your fears Knew every reason behind your tears Now you could walk right past my door And I don't know you anymore [Post-Chorus: airy doubles, stripped beat] Don't know you Don't know you Used to know everything Now I don't know you [Verse 2: fuller 808, tighter pocket] Maybe you changed Maybe I did too Maybe the girl inside my memory Ain't really you Maybe memory freezes people Where we left them behind While real life keeps moving And rewrites them with time So who are you now? Are you happier there? Do you tell somebody else The things I used to hear? Does he know when you're quiet Not to push too hard? Does he know which little things Still get under your guard? Nah Don't answer that I don't wanna know Funny how I ask the question Then hate where it goes [Pre-Chorus: darker harmony, vocal closer] How does somebody get that close Then turn into someone you don't know? How do I know your skin, your fears But not the person standing here? [Chorus: full groove, low harmony stack] I don't know you anymore That's the part that hurts the most Used to know you with the lights off Now you're somebody I don't know I knew your body Knew your fears Knew every reason behind your tears Now you could walk right past my door And I don't know you anymore [Bridge: drums drop, intimate R&B vocal] You were home once Now you're history How does somebody go From knowing everything To becoming a mystery? Maybe that's the answer Maybe I'm still loving Who you were While you're out there Becoming someone else [Final Chorus: restrained lift, emotional mutation] I don't know you anymore Maybe that's what I need to know I keep talking to a memory While your life keeps moving on I knew your body Knew your fears But that was then And this is here Maybe loving who you were Is why I couldn't let you go I don't know you anymore And maybe I don't need to [Outro: dry vocal, long reverb tail] Don't know you Yeah Maybe that's enough
