Intro – Male
Yeah…
Look…
Verse 1 – male
Funny how the people that hurt you
Still know how to reach you
Still know which version of your name sound sweetest when they need to
And I been too solid for too long
That’s probably my flaw
Everybody lean on me
Nobody ask what I’m carryin’ at all
I make pressure look normal
That’s dangerous
Smilin’ in public while privately unravelin’
Still showin’ up clean though
Still smellin’ expensive
Still makin’ pain look attractive somehow
That’s a skill I wish I ain’t develop
And maybe I loved too deep
Maybe I gave too much access
‘Cause nowadays people say forever
Like it’s just another caption
One minute y’all planning a future
Talkin’ names for the babies
Next minute y’all strangers with history
Tryna act unaffected daily
And that kinda pain don’t scream
It just sits there
Turns soft girls colder over the years
Now I analyze energy different
Watch intentions closer
‘Cause consistency always disappear once reality enters
Still…
I can’t love halfway
I tried
Even when I pull back emotionally
My heart don’t divide
Bridge – male
And honestly…
Maybe I still think about what we could’ve been
More than what we actually were
Verse 2 – female
Boy, you know I hate when you get all distant
Actin’ like your silence don’t say enough
You know I can feel when somethin’ shifted
Even through the phone when we barely touch
I been tryna act all unbothered
Postin’ pictures, pretty captions
Whole time my friends tired of hearin’
Me connectin’ pain to your actions
And I know I got pride too
That’s my issue
Want you to read my mind instead of tellin’ you I miss you
So I flirt with other people
Just to feel control again
Then go home and replay memories
Like they still hold weight again
And you still got that effect on me
I hate it
Could be doin’ perfectly fine
Then your name light up and suddenly I’m anxious
‘Cause nobody touch me like you
Nobody calm me down after
Nobody know the soft parts of me
Hidden underneath the laughter
But maybe we both too damaged
Too stubborn to say what hurt
So we keep lovin’ each other
In the worst ways first
Outro – male & female
Male:
Guess timing really matter more than love sometimes…
Female:
Mm… and that’s the part nobody warns you about
Male:
Yeah…
Female :
We probably could’ve been everything.
