Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Twelve year sentence
Serving time in your shadow
I was there every night
You forgot by tomorrow
Always your shoulder
Never your hand
Watched you fall in and out of love
With someone I ain’t
[Chorus]
Twelve years wasted, can’t get ’em back
Waiting on a “maybe” that cracked
Twelve years of hopeful memories that never even happened
Just stories I told myself, and I’m done with that acting
Twelve years of just being a friend
Same old circle, same dead end
Twelve years sacrificing my soul for your comfort
This is my release, my last word
[Verse 2]
I learned your coffee
How you take it, how you fake it when you’re fine
I knew your birthdays
Better than I ever knew mine
You called at midnight
I came running like a fool (yeah)
You said “you’re like family”
Guess that was your favorite tool
[Chorus]
Twelve years wasted, can’t get ’em back
Waiting on a “maybe” that cracked
Twelve years of hopeful memories that never even happened
Just scenes in my mind, and I’m done with that acting
Twelve years of just being a friend
Same cold story, same dead end
Twelve years sacrificing my soul for your comfort
This is my release, my last word
[Bridge]
Funny how I knew your dreams
But you never learned my middle name
I bled myself in little streams
You just watched it circle the drain
So I’m walking out, light as air (light as air)
Leaving all that waiting there
You don’t get to call this love
I’m the one I’m choosing now
[Chorus]
Twelve years wasted, I’m taking ’em back
Breaking out the loop, crack by crack
Those hopeful memories that never even happened
I’m writing new ones, I’m done with that acting
Twelve years of just being a friend
That long chapter, this is the end
Twelve years sacrificing my soul for your comfort
Now I’m free at last, that’s my word
[Outro]
Twelve year sentence
Served it out, I’m walking clean
I gave you all my second chances
Now I’m saving them
For me (oh)

Slow-burning R&B ballad with female vocals; warm Rhodes and subtle guitar licks over a deep, unhurried groove. Verses stay intimate and close-mic, almost whispered confessions; chorus swells with stacked harmonies, airy pads, and a roomy snare. Second half adds gentle backing vocals answering key phrases, riding out on a soulful vamp and held vocal runs., soul, r&b
