Do You Even Care For Me

[Verse 1]
You scroll right past my birthday pics
Laugh-react my crying eyes
You say you’re "busy
Nothing’s wrong"
But you don’t even ask me why
I wear that shirt you used to steal
You don’t notice
You don’t smile
I’m standing right here in your past
While you’re living a different life
[Chorus]
Be honest
Do you even care for me
As the lover I once was
Or am I just the ghost
Of the girl you used to love
Tell me
When you look at me
Do you see what we became
Or a stranger in your sweater
Wearing someone else’s name
[Verse 2]
You kiss me like you’re clocking out
Quick and quiet
Then you turn
You used to trace my every scar
Now you don’t want to learn
We talk in headlines
Tiny texts
All the chapters left unread
I’m sharing space inside this bed
But I’m alone inside my head
[Chorus]
Be honest
Do you even care for me
As the lover I once was
Or am I just the ghost
Of the girl you used to love
Tell me
When you look at me
Do you see what we became
Or a stranger in your sweater
Wearing someone else’s name
[Bridge]
If you’re already gone
You don’t have to pretend
Don’t keep my heart on layaway
Waiting on a "maybe" that never ends
If you’ve packed your love and left
At least turn on the light
Say it to my face this time
Don’t hide it in goodnight
[Chorus]
Be honest
Do you even care for me
As the lover I once was
Or am I just the ghost
Of the girl you used to love
Tell me
When you look at me
Do you see what we became
’Cause I can’t be your background
While you fade out my name
[Outro]
Be honest
Do you even care for me
Or is this where we let it break

pop, Shimmering midtempo pop ballad; soft synth pads and clean electric guitar set a reflective mood, light programmed drums in the verses. Choruses swell with bright keys, layered female vocals, and a subtle sidechain pulse; final chorus adds high harmonies and a lifted drum pattern for emotional release, then strips to voice and guitar on the last line.
