Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I keep my faults in a line

Like receipts on the table

Every “sorry” I said

Still ain’t made me stable

You loved me in pieces

I tried to call it home

But your hands stayed guarded

And I felt that in my bones

I replay the last night

Your eyes on the floor

I was begging for warmth

You were reaching for the door

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know, I know

I carry some of this weight

But you were ice in my palms

And I broke at that gate

[Chorus]

I shut down

I shut down

When you couldn’t love me back

I shut down

I shut down

And I still can’t take that back

(Shut down)

You changed me

[Verse 2]

Now I flinch at the silence

When a room gets too still

I got trust in the gutter

And a heart that won’t heal

I was all in the fire

You were half out the frame

So I blamed my reflection

Every time you said my name

And yeah, maybe I wrecked it

Yeah, maybe I did

But your cold had a way

Of making me quit

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know, I know

I helped build the crack

But your love wouldn’t land

So I pulled my chest back

[Chorus]

I shut down

I shut down

When you couldn’t love me back

I shut down

I shut down

And I still can’t take that back

(Shut down)

You changed me

[Bridge]

I don’t hate you

I just hate what I became

A man with a locked-up heart

Calling pain by your name

If I’m honest

I was trying to stay

But when your love went missing

I went missing that same day

[Final Chorus]

I shut down

I shut down

When you couldn’t love me back

I shut down

I shut down

And I still can’t take that back

(Shut down)

You changed me

(You changed me)

I’m still in the dark

(Still in the dark)

Yeah, I shut down

Intimate and glossy mix with delayed ad-libs, subtle reverse swells, and a polished low-end glow., soul, r&b, hip-hop
