[Overall Mood: Heartbroken, self-aware, honest, vulnerable, smoky late-night R&B energy] [Verse 1] — Your Original (kept unchanged) I thought I told you Told you ego I don't wanna know you You found a way to let me let my guard down And you're calling me up I don't wanna be loved like this Oh you know I tried to Tell you everything that I'd been through Made me let you in and I always do You're calling it love but I don't wanna be loved like this No [Pre-Chorus] — New, Nia-style, smooth and aching Every time I pull away You pull me right back into your orbit Say you’re different, but you’re still the same I keep falling just to forfeit Pieces of myself I swore I’d never trade And God, I hate the way you know it [Chorus] — Your Original (kept unchanged) This shit ain't love, it ain't it I don't wanna be loved like this This shit ain't love, it ain't it I don't wanna be loved like this (Background Harmonies — soft, layered) “ain’t it… ain’t it…” “loved like this…” “this ain’t love…” *[Verse 2] — New, deeper cut, more personal You always show up Show up right when I’m finally healing Talkin’ like you changed but it’s the same damn feeling And you pull me right back To the place I swore I’d never go again Yeah, you were poison But baby, I was too addicted Blaming myself ’cause your words sounded scripted You say it’s love, but love ain’t supposed to break me just to fix it No… [Pre-Chorus 2] — Pain building, soft runs I’m tired of shrinking just to fit inside your chaos Tired of being strong just so you can stay soft You want a version of me That don’t really breathe But baby that ain’t me anymore [Chorus] — Bigger harmonies, same lyrics This shit ain't love, it ain't it I don't wanna be loved like this This shit ain't love, it ain't it I don't wanna be loved like this (Background Harmonies — stronger this time) “ain’t it… ain’t it…” “I don’t wanna… I don’t wanna…” “loved like this… loved like this…” [Bridge] — Raw breakdown, Nia Monroe intensity I gave you pieces Pieces I needed You called it healing But I called it bleeding I’m done being quiet Done staying silent If love is a war Then I’m choosing the violence My peace is mine And you can’t buy it Baby, I’m done trying I’m done trying [Final Chorus] — Explosive, layered, emotional This shit ain't love, it ain't it I don't wanna be loved like this This shit ain't love, it ain't it I don't wanna be loved like this (Full stacked harmonies — wide & emotional) “ain’t it… ain’t it…” “this ain’t love… this ain’t love…” “loved like this… like this… like this…” [Outro] — Soft, breathy, atmospheric fade I don’t wanna be loved like this No more… No more… Letting you in just to lose myself… Letting you win just to hurt myself… I’m done with it… I’m done…
