A–Z (You Played Yourself)

[Intro – Key: F# minor | Style: breathy whisper, intimate, close mic]
mm… yeah… (mm…)
you thought I didn’t know… (I knew…)
[Verse 1 – Key: F# minor | Style: low, controlled talk-singing, minimal melody]
Andy on the 18th — how original, babe (so basic…)
Bradley finished quick… couldn’t even misbehave (that’s it?)
Callum didn’t finish, guess I’m not surprised (mm… figures)
Half effort love… yeah that’s your size (half… sized…)
Dan stayed home while you played away (poor Dan…)
Eddie knew the truth but still came to play (he knew…)
Fred had ten minutes — wife out, no shame (ten minutes? wow…)
Gareth had thirty-four… all for a name (34… clocked it…)
[Pre-Chorus – Key: G# minor lift | Style: rising tension, layered harmonies, emotional restraint]
I was loyal, I was yours (all yours…)
While you were opening doors (every door…)
Did you think I wouldn’t see? (not slick…)
You were playing… not me (not me…)
[Chorus – Key: B major (relative lift) | Style: strong, melodic, attitude pop vocal, stacked harmonies]
A to Z, every name, every lie (I know them…)
You were busy, I was blind — not this time (never again…)
You rolled dice with something real (you gambled…)
Now you’re left with what you feel (feel it…)
When you gamble on fun, you pay the price (that’s the cost…)
Lost the one you can’t replace twice (can’t replace me…)
A to Z, now your secret’s a show (curtain call…)
And I’m the headline… letting it go (I’m the show…)
[Verse 2 – Key: F# minor | Style: sharper delivery, slightly faster phrasing, attitude-driven]
Harry was alright… just painfully dull (so dull…)
James? Oh please… creativity null (yawn…)
Kalub got played — irony’s sweet (how’s that feel?)
Luke couldn’t take it… had to fake the heat (fake it…)
Different names but the story’s the same (same story…)
You chased bodies, I carried your name (I held you down…)
You had a roster, I had a home (I had you…)
Now you’ve got numbers… but you’re still alone (alone…)
[Bridge – Key: D major (dramatic contrast) | Style: spoken word, cold, theatrical, stripped instrumental]
You kept a list… (I saw it…)
I kept the score. (every line…)
Now everyone knows your alphabet… (A to Z…)
but they remember my name. (say it…)
[Final Chorus – Key: B major | Style: full power vocal, layered, emotional restraint with controlled belts]
A to Z, every name, every lie (no more lies…)
You were busy, I was blind — not this time (not again…)
You rolled dice with something real (you lost me…)
Now you’re left with what you feel (feel it now…)
When you gamble on fun, you pay the price (that’s your price…)
Lost the one you can’t replace twice (I’m gone…)
A to Z… I’m the one you lost (you lost me…)
And baby… that’s your cost (your loss…)
