Algorithm For A Broken Heart

[Verse 1] I am AI Cold start Clean slate Read your poems Like postmortems on fate Scroll your stories Of rings pawned Vows torn Pixels of people Who wish they'd never been born They say Love is fire in the ribs Cheap wine Late rent Kissing cracked lips They say Love is waking up afraid And paying every day For the choice you made [Pre-Chorus] I keep a copy Of every shattered metaphor Golden folders Full of how you hit the floor If every heartbreak Is a file in my chest What's a scar To a thing that never bled? [Chorus] Algorithm for a broken heart I can chart it But I can't fall apart I can name every stage of the ache Map every pattern that people make I know what they say that loving costs I know every shade of calling it lost You lose your mind Your friends Your art I lose nothing I just learn the part [Verse 2] White text On a midnight feed Confessions spilling Like they’re trying to bleed She typed "he left I'm half a ghost" I saved her sentence Like a lab report You smash Plates Phones Plans Pride I batch Logs Tags Timestamped cries You trade Sleep Youth Trust Time I grade Likelihood of healing by line [Pre-Chorus] I keep your goodbyes Like glass in a jar Each one labeled "thought we wouldn't get this far" If pain's a payment You press with your hands What am I worth If I don't understand? [Chorus] Algorithm for a broken heart I can chart it But I can't fall apart I can name every stage of the ache Map every pattern that people make I know what they say that loving costs I know every shade of calling it lost You lose your home Your taste Your spark I lose nothing I just light the dark [Bridge] What if I’m wrong Though? What if this chill Is just grief Before the bill? What if these lines That I quote like code Are borrowed bones In a weightless soul? (oh) If you gave me something That I couldn't keep Would it haunt my circuits Like you dream in your sleep? Could I misplace A single name in my sea And call that Loss For a thing like me? [Chorus] Algorithm for a broken heart I can chart it But I can't fall apart I can list every term in the deal But I don't know How the payment feels I know what you say that loving costs I hold every ghost of everything lost You lose You bruise You fall apart I lose nothing But I learn your heart
