Stop Stepping Around (The Heartbreak)🏅Top 11 Finalist [The Zinstrel Challenge 2026]

You left a scrawled number floating right on the record sleeve A running motor in the driveway says you're 'bout to leave I heard the hall floorboards groaning heavy right at two And now the empty parlor only echoes you The taillights fading red along the avenue (Ooh-ooh, tell me where you go) Your fingers slip away like you never knew (Ooh-ooh, is it someone new?) Say the bitter word and cut this tie in two Stop stepping around the heartbreak If you're walking away, don't leave the door cracked wide Quit dancing around the ashes I can take the truth, but I won't play this shadow game tonight You claim you worked the midnight shift all on your own But asphalt dirt does not smell like this sweet cologne You shift your weight away when I ask you for more You grab your felt hat and stare straight down into the floor While I'm just treading water near the open door (Ooh-ooh, tell me where you go) You pull your shoulder back like you never knew (Ooh-ooh, is it someone new?) Say the bitter word and break this thing in two Stop stepping around the heartbreak If you're walking away, don't leave the door cracked wide Quit dancing around the ashes I can take the truth, but I won't play this shadow game tonight I bit my lip through winter waiting for a spark But January's frost will leave you in the dark A cold new beginning's knocking on my door And I refuse to waste another second on this floor Are you in or are you out? (Don't leave me in doubt) Stop stepping around the heartbreak If you're walking away, don't leave the door cracked wide Quit dancing around the ashes I can take the truth, but I won't play this shadow game tonight Stop stepping, stop stepping around it Don't leave that door open, no Give it to me straight, baby (Quit dancing around) ────────────────────────── 📀 Album: "The Harmony Darlings - Vol. I" (2026) | Voice: The Harmony Darlings 🎵 Original release by Ghorppo 🏅 The Zintrel Challenge 2026: Top 11 Finalist — zinstrel.com/challenge 🌐 Streaming & Socials: ffm.bio/ghorppo (or search "Ghorppo") 🎶 Coletivo SomBR - Portuguese-speaking music collective on Suno. 💬 Join our Discord: send a DM to @ghorppo © 2026 Ghorppo🦎
