**Title: “Different View”** **[Intro – soft, whispered]** Yeah… I thought I loved you… Guess I never really knew you… **[Hook – melodic, catchy]** I thought I loved you, but you turned out not to be true I thought I knew you, now I got a different view Heart on the floor, scars on my chest, what am I supposed to do? You showed me your colors, baby, now we’re painted navy blue I thought I loved you… (loved you) Now I got a different view… (different view) **[Verse 1]** Late nights, FaceTime, said you’d never switch Three words, eight letters, turned into a glitch You was my peace, now you the reason I flinch Every notification got me sick to my stomach, that’s real Used to pull up, windows down, summer air Now it’s winter in my soul, and you don’t even care Texts left on read, lies in your stare I gave you my all, you gave me nightmares, yeah I was loyal to a fault, you was loyal to the streets I was building us a future, you was building your receipts Funny how the one you love can turn into a thief Steal your trust, steal your time, then just leave **[Hook]** I thought I loved you, but you turned out not to be true I thought I knew you, now I got a different view Heart on the floor, scars on my chest, what am I supposed to do? You showed me your colors, baby, now we’re painted navy blue I thought I loved you… Now I got a different view… **[Verse 2]** I see your pictures with him, smile I used to own Same lips that told me “forever,” now you never home I ain’t even mad no more, I’m just disappointed All them “I got you’s” turned into “I avoided” You said nobody could touch what we had Now you touching somebody else, damn, that hurt bad But I’m healing slow, deleting photos, burning memories Learning lessons you could never teach in no universities One day I’ll laugh about this pain Till then I’m pouring Henny in the rain You lost a king, I lost some sleep But I found out who I am — that’s a win for me **[Bridge – half-sung, emotional]** I gave you my heart, you played it like a game Now every time it beats, it screams your name But I’m letting go… yeah, I’m letting go Different view, new me, watch me grow **[Final Hook – bigger, layered vocals]** I thought I I thought I loved you, but you turned out not to be true I thought I knew you, now I got a different view Heart on the floor, but I’m walking out brand new You showed me your colors, baby, now I’m seeing straight through I thought I loved you… Thank God for the different view… **[Outro – spoken softly over fading beat]** Yeah… Different view.
