[Intro]
(hey...)
I see you, Lex
[Verse 1]
You're laughing but your eyes don't match
Like you're carrying something on your back
And every time he says your name
I swear the whole room starts to change
You say it's fine
You brush it off
But I've seen enough to call your bluff
Cause he looks at you like something he lost
Not something he loved
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe you don't see it
Maybe you don't want to
But I do
[Chorus]
Cause I'm watching you watching him
Watching every move again
And I hate the way he looks at you
Like the story never reached the end
You say you're over it
But he still hangs around your ghost
And every time he gets too close
I feel my blood run cold
[Post-Chorus]
(yeah...)
Too close
Way too close
[Verse 2]
He stands there acting like a king
Like he still owns everything
But love don't leave scars that deep
And call itself a memory
You got stronger
He got bitter
You moved on
He couldn't picture
A world where you weren't his
And that's the thing that scares me
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I've seen that look before
And it never ends well
[Chorus]
I'm watching you watching him
Trying not to look again
And I wish you'd stop blaming yourself
For everything he did
You survived the fire
Don't walk back into the smoke
Some people only love the version
Of you they can control
[Bridge]
(hey!)
Lexi, look at me
You're not the girl he used to know
Not the one from years ago
You don't owe him anything
Not your guilt
Not your fear
Not another wasted year
(you hear me?)
[Breakdown]
He watches
I notice
He lingers
I notice
He smiles
I notice
And I don't trust it
Not for a second
[Chorus]
So I'm watching you watching him
Praying you won't let him in
Cause I know the damage he can do
Even when he's acting innocent
You fought too hard
To become who you are now
And I won't stand here quietly
While he tries to drag you down
[Outro]
(hey...)
You don't belong to him
Not anymore
Beexii
