[Intro - soft spoken]
Yeah… I thought I buried it… but it never left…
[Verse 1]
Look, I swear I had it buried, thought I threw it in the dirt
Thought enough time would finally make it hurt less
Everybody got a story they wish they could rewrite
Mine starts with you and a choice I made that day
Back then I was young, thought I knew what was right
Saw the world black and white, never questioned my sight
Now I’m older looking back through a different lens
And I think I lost more than I knew when I lost a friend
And I ain’t blaming anyone, that one’s on me
Can’t undo the past, can’t unsee what I seen
But every now and then it hits me out the blue
And I sit there wondering what I put you through
Did I walk away too easy, did I miss what it meant?
Was it pride, was it fear, was I lost in my head?
I try to say it’s over, like I outgrew you
But every quiet moment still leads me back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I act like I’m fine, like it don’t cross my mind
But it sneaks in every time I get lost in my mind
And I tell myself move on like it’s something I can choose
But deep down I already know every road leads back to you
[CHORUS - BASS DROP]
And it’s all on replay
Your voice in my head got me stuck in the same place
Tried moving on but the feeling won’t change
Every time it fades it just comes back again
I tell myself let it go, let it die
But my heart and my head never see eye to eye
Maybe it’s nothing but I can’t refuse
All I know is every road leads back to you
[Verse 2]
There were times I stepped back, thought I moved on
Focused on myself, had my life going strong
But one small moment, one familiar tone
And I’m right back there like I never let go
You never had to try, you were just being you
While I’m overthinking everything I do
Should I reach out or just leave it alone?
Would it heal what was lost or break what we’ve known?
I’d rather have you here than risk losing it all
But silence feels heavier than any kind of fall
And I hate that I still care this much inside
Like I never really left what I left behind
[Bridge - beat drop out]
Maybe I never moved on
Maybe I just learned to pretend
Maybe you never noticed
How it never really ends
And I don’t know if you ever felt the same
But you still feel like the reason I can’t escape my name
[FINAL CHORUS - BIG DROP]
And it’s all on replay
Your voice in my head got me stuck in the same place
Tried moving on but the feeling won’t change
Every time it fades it just comes back again
I tell myself let it go, let it die
But my heart and my head never see eye to eye
Maybe it’s nothing but I can’t refuse
All I know is every road leads back to you
[Outro]
Maybe one day I’ll get my answer
Maybe one day it all makes sense
Or maybe I’ll just keep replaying
What I never got to say back then…
Vesper
