[Intro]
3AM, key of C
Same four walls
Same blue screen
It’s just you and me
[Verse 1]
Scrollin’ through our texts like a crime scene
Every little word, every "might be"
I was talkin’ tough, you were tryna breathe
I was scared to lose what I couldn’t name, see
Mom called twice, I ain’t call back
Said, "Son, you okay?" I just laughed at that
’Cause I’d rather bite my tongue till it turns all black
Than admit I’m afraid you ain’t comin’ back
Empty takeout on the nightstand, cold rice
Your hoodie on my chair smellin’ so nice
I keep sayin’ I’ll be better, but it’s old lies
How I always see the truth when I close eyes
[Chorus]
You’re my 3AM in C
Every note just pulls on me
Hit my chest like memory
Can’t escape your melody
If you leave, I’m off the beat
Heart won’t land, just skips and leans
You’re my 3AM in C
You’re my only harmony
[Verse 2]
I remember watchin’ rain on the back bus glass
You were in my headphones, first real laugh
I was all front seat, tryna act that bad
You were soft voice sayin’ "You ain’t just your past"
We was talkin’ ’bout a future that I played off
You was talkin’ ’bout a home, I changed the topic, took a day off
Told you feelings made me weaker, now I stay lost
’Cause I built a wall so high I can’t break off
Friends say, "Heal up, find somebody brand new"
They don’t know I wrote whole lives in a verse ’bout you
Left parts of me in the cracks you grew through
How I’m s’posed to bloom if it ain’t your view?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I open up, will you stay, will you stay? [echo]
If I say I’m scared, will you run, will you fade?
I’ve been playin’ tough, but I’m tired of the game
[falsetto] Say my name, say my name, say my name [/falsetto]
[soaring ad-libs] (Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go)
[Chorus]
