Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I still see her Blue backpack Chipped teeth Fence by the playground Dust on our knees We traded secrets Under a burned-out tree I left that summer But she never left me [Chorus] So I say I’m fine I’m “just this way” (yeah, that’s what I say) Blame the wiring in my brain When I push you all away ‘Cause I’m still stuck in that small school yard With a girl I had to leave No one gets close No one gets far South of my first crush Is where my heart just Doesn’t beat for anybody else [Verse 2] You ask me gently “Have you ever felt it?” I laugh too quickly Change the subject Call it a label Like it’s just a phase Truth is I’m faithless To anyone new I face [Chorus] So I say I’m fine I’m “just this way” (yeah, that’s what I say) Blame the wiring in my brain When I push you all away ‘Cause I’m still stuck in that small school yard With a girl I had to leave No one gets close No one gets far South of my first crush Is where my heart just Doesn’t beat for anybody else [Bridge] Maybe I’m wired cold Maybe I’m just too loyal To a ghost on a gravel road Sunburnt Stubborn Spoiled I don’t want your roses I don’t want your bed I just want the version of me Who believed her when she said [Chorus] We’ll be best friends We’ll never change (but we always change) Time pulled me out of frame She’s frozen in my brain So I’m still stuck in that small school yard With a girl I had to leave No one gets close No one gets far South of my first crush Is where my heart just Doesn’t beat for anybody else

pop, Emo pop ballad with female vocals; clean electric guitar arpeggios and soft pads in the verses, chorus explodes with distorted power chords, punchy drums, and stacked gang vocals on the hook. Start intimate and confessional, then widen into a cathartic, shout-along refrain; sprinkle subtle synths and octave harmonies to lift the last chorus., emo
