Title: “Let It Ring”
Intro
Yeah…
Late night again…
Phone lighting up like it miss me…
Verse 1
I been dodging calls all week, but tonight feel different
Same city, different bed, still somehow I’m present
You say you grown, say you focused, say you doing fine
But you don’t call people you forgot about after midnight
You say it’s nothing, say it’s casual, say I’m tripping
But your voice shake every time you say you happy with him
I know that tone, I know that pause, I know that sigh
That’s the sound of someone lying to they own mind
Pre-Chorus
You don’t say my name
But it sit between the lines
You don’t say you miss me
But you don’t hang up on time
Chorus
So why you calling me now?
Why you breaking your rules?
You got somebody holding you down
But you reaching for who?
You don’t miss me for real
You miss that I stayed
You don’t want love
You want something familiar when you feel replaced
So I’ma let it ring…
Yeah, I’ma let it be…
’Cause you with someone new
And baby that ain’t me
Bridge (Your lyrics — expanded naturally)
I know you with somebody right now…
I can hear it in your voice…
You telling me you happy,
But happiness don’t need this many choices…
You say he treat you better,
But you calling me instead…
Guess comfort hit different
When you laying in his bed…
I shouldn’t answer…
But I do it every time…
Guess we both addicted
To a love we left behind…
Verse 2
You say he everything I wasn’t
But you still checking for me
If he really what you wanted
Why you stressing for me?
You say I changed, maybe so
But you changed me first
I learned love don’t always heal
Sometimes it hurt worse
I was there when you was empty
When you didn’t believe
Now you full of somebody else
But still pouring into me
Pre-Chorus 2
You don’t call him late
You don’t cry on his chest
But you calling me when the world
Start feeling too heavy to rest
Verse 3
You say you tired…
I know…
I been tired too…
You say you trying…
I tried…
Harder for you…
You want me patient…
Still…
I was before…
But waiting for you
Ain’t love…
It’s war…
Chorus (Repeat)
So why you calling me now?
Why you breaking your rules?
You got somebody holding you down
But you reaching for who?
You don’t miss me for real
You miss the way that I stayed
You don’t want love
You want something familiar when you feel replaced
So I’ma let it ring…
Yeah, I’ma let it be…
’Cause you with someone new
And baby that ain’t me
Outro
Maybe we just needed distance
To see what we became…
Maybe love ain’t always meant to last
Maybe it’s meant to change…
I’ll always wish you peace,
Just not at the cost of me…
So if you calling one last time,
I’ma let it ring…
Let it be…
Yeah…
Let it be…
Because you with someone new…
And baby that ain’t me…
