[Intro – Rhodes, low synth pulse, distant harmonies] BGVs (Mmm…) (Ooh…) (Morning…) ⸻ Lola (barely above a whisper) It’s morning… Please don’t judge me… ⸻ [Verse 1] Sunlight found me Before I found sleep Mascara faded Still on my cheeks I know this version Ain’t my best one But lonely gets loud When the whole world’s gone BGVs (Gets loud…) I knew better… Every step I took I wasn’t lost… I just wanted One more look (soft ad-lib) Just one… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Don’t mistake My weakness For confusion I knew exactly What this was Sometimes… Your heart gets tired Of always Being the stronger one ⸻ [Chorus – first lift] It’s morning… Please don’t judge me I know the difference Between love… And memory I just wanted To be Somebody’s peace One last night… Before I remembered… I still belong To me BGVs (To me…) ⸻ [Verse 2] Coffee’s getting cold By the windowpane Funny how daylight Makes everything Tell the truth That silence Hits different When the night’s Got nowhere left To hide I wasn’t chasing Yesterday I was chasing A feeling That already left ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Every lesson Ain’t learned The pretty way Sometimes wisdom Comes dressed Like regret But I’d rather Face myself Than keep pretending I don’t know What’s best ⸻ [Chorus – bigger harmonies] It’s morning… Please don’t judge me I knew exactly Who I called And why I just wanted To disappear Inside familiar arms Before I finally Found my own Again BGVs (My own…) ⸻ [Bridge – everything drops to Rhodes] Lola You know what’s funny? BGVs (What?) Everybody says… Don’t go back… (long pause) But nobody talks About how hard it is… To walk away When your heart… Still recognizes The place It used to call home. (silence) But… Homes change. People change. And… So did I. ⸻ [Final Chorus – full vocal performance] It’s morning… Please don’t judge me I know the difference I just wanted To be… For one more second… Who I used to be But she’s gone… And that’s alright… ’Cause who I am now… Would never trade Her peace… For temporary comfort Again BGVs (Never again…) (My peace…) ⸻ [Vocal Vamp / Ad-libs] I know the difference… (I know…) I know the difference… (I know…) I won’t lose me To find somebody else… Not again… Never again… ⸻ [Outro – whispered] Lola Good morning… Thank you… For loving me… Anyway. (Fade into Rhodes and breath harmonies.)
