[Verse 1]
[female vocal]
You say you’ve changed
New phone
Same name
Same late-night silence
Same old game
[male vocal]
I walked that line
Bare feet on glass
You keep your distance
Still live in the past
[Chorus]
[female + male vocals]
You’ve got excuses in stereo
Every word a different alibi
I hear you loud
But I feel you low
You pull me close just to justify
Excuses in stereo
You spin the story
I rewind
Say you want me back
Then you let me go
You love my body
But you dodge my mind
[Verse 2]
[male vocal
Screamed]
I tore down walls
You just built new ones
Paint them with “maybe”
Hide from the sun
[female vocal]
You call it fear
I call it choice
You want forgiveness
You mute my voice
[male vocal
Overlapping]
I’m right here
Bleeding
[female vocal]
You’re right here
Fleeting
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[breakdown
Half-time]
[male vocal
Screamed]
Say you’re scared to need me
Scared you’ll lose control
Say you’re hard to handle
So you never have to grow
[female vocal]
Say I’m too demanding
That my standards cut too deep
But you only want the part of me
That doesn’t make you think
[male + female call and response]
[male] Then why you still answering?
[female] Habit
Not hope
[male] Then why you still wearing that ring?
[female] I’m learning to let go
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[female vocal
Low]
Turn the volume down
On everything you say
[male vocal
Distant]
I’m screaming through the static
As you walk away
[female vocal]
You fade to a murmur
Just background noise
[male vocal
Last shout]
I lost you in the echo
Of my own excuses and your poise
