[Intro – sung, spaced out w/ pain]
(Yeahhh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Uh, uh-huh
Mmm-mmm
(Ayy, yeah, yeah, yeah…)
[Verse 1 – melodic rap flow]
Met you in that res-i-den-tial, baby, you was cryin’ (cryin’)
Told me that your mind feel heavy, like it’s dyin’ (uh-huh)
Said you seein’ demons in the dark, you wasn’t lyin’ (no)
Told you that I’m broken too, I guess we both survivin’ (yeah)
I was sneakin’ in your room like every night (night)
Talkin’ ’bout pain while we starin’ at the lights (yeah)
We got out, no plan, just vibes
Now we sleepin’ in the car on the 5 (skrrt)
[Hook – melodic, emotional, space for harmony layers]
Slept in the backseat, cold with the heat off (heat off)
Kissin’ through gunshots, love in a free fall (free fall)
Told you you the only one who ever knew me deep
But love get heavy when you carry it on empty (yeah, yeah)
You said forever but you folded in the red light (red light)
We was both cheatin’, I just blamed it on the stress, right? (stress, yeah)
Still see your face in my sleep when I’m low
Even broken halos still glow (yeahhh)
[Verse 2 – bouncy, melodic switch-up]
You got clean, I got dirty, I was hustlin’
You was workin’ doubles, I was duckin’ it
Textin’ other shawties when I said I’m home
You was doin’ coke and lyin’ on the phone (yeah)
Sayin’ “you just like my dad,” I felt that (felt that)
Three nights gone, came back with your smell changed
I ain’t even trip, I just died inside
Two souls lost, couldn’t pick no side (nah)
[Pre-Hook – emotional, falsetto-ready]
We was ridin’ through the pain on E (on E)
Now we strangers with a history
You still float inside my dreams
Even if you ain’t missin’ me
[Hook – full melodic return]
Slept in the backseat, cold with the heat off (heat off)
Kissin’ through gunshots, love in a free fall (free fall)
Told you you the only one who ever knew me deep
But love get heavy when you carry it on empty (empty)
You said forever but you folded in the red light
We was both cheatin’, I just blamed it on the stress, right?
Still see your face in my sleep when I’m low
Even broken halos still glow (glow, glow, yeah)
[Bridge – sing this w/ reverb, slow the tempo down slightly]
If you hear this song, just know I meant it all (meant it all)
Even when I broke us, girl, I loved you through the fall (through the fall)
Coulda been a movie, we ain’t write the ending though (nah)
Scrollin’ through your page like I’m someone you don’t know
[Outro – minimal beat, pain-focused delivery]
You was my angel in disguise
Now you just a ghost behind my eyes
We ain’t make it, but I hope you grow
Even broken halos still glow (still glow…)
