TALKING
[Intro] 2 names... 1 meaning Soul L33k [Verse 1 – Old Me] You remember when we said we’d never change? Swore we’d keep our heart wild, never play it safe Used to chase every spark like it was fate Now you hesitate, calculate, medicate the pain You used to dream in colors, loud and bright Now you’re talking budgets, futures, wrong and right When did fearless turn into “what if”? When did passion get replaced with “realistic”? [Pre-Chorus – Present Me] I didn’t lose the fire, I just learned the flame Burned my hands enough to respect the pain You call it giving up, I call it growing up It’s not that I changed — I just know too much [Chorus – Both] We got the same name, same scars, same face But we don’t see the world the same way You say I’m colder, I say you’re naive Somewhere in between is who we’re meant to be I’m not you, you’re not me But we built this identity You were hope, I’m strategy We’re the same soul — different energy [Verse 2 – Present Me] You thought love meant never walking away I learned sometimes strength is letting things break You called it forever after one good night I learned forever’s earned in the daylight You trusted words, I trust patterns You leapt blind, I read chapters You saw red flags and called them “vibes” I saw the damage behind the disguise [Pre-Chorus – Old Me] But you don’t laugh the way we used to You don’t feel everything so huge You built armor out of lessons learned But I miss the way our heart once burned [Chorus – Both] We got the same name, same scars, same face But we don’t see the world the same way You say I’m guarded, I say you were free Somewhere in between is who we’re meant to be I’m not you, you’re not me But we built this identity You were fire, I’m gravity We’re the same soul — different energy [Bridge – Conversation] [Old Me] Why’d you stop believing in magic? [Present Me] I didn’t — I just stopped calling chaos magic. [Old Me] When did you get so serious? [Present Me] When being broken stopped feeling mysterious. [Old Me] Do we still dream like we said we would? [Present Me] Yeah… just differently than you thought we would.
