MELODIC OPEN – (8–10s, FLOATING, NO DRUMS)]
(half-sung, almost mumbled)
Heart been cold lately…
Still hear my phone vibrate.
I don’t rush shit no more…
I let it ring.
(beat slides in)
⸻
[VERSE 1 – SING-RAP, LAID BACK, CONFIDENT]
I been movin’ low, keep my head straight
Cut a few ties, had to recalibrate
You say I’m distant, I say I’m focused
Peace cost more than bein’ everybody’s favorite
I don’t argue, I disengage
Used to explain, now I save breath
She read my tone like a paragraph
Said I sound different, I said “that’s growth, yeah”
I don’t flex loud, I let it show
I don’t chase love, I let it go
She say she miss when I gave a fuck
Funny how that’s when I lost control
⸻
[PRE-HOOK – SHORT, MELODIC BUILD]
You don’t gotta say shit
I can tell when you hesitate
You still watchin’ my moves
Even when you say you okay
⸻
[HOOK – FIRST FULL DROP, FLOATY BUT STICKY]
Heart been cold, yeah, my feelings freezin’
She say I changed, I say I’m even
Phone still buzz, but I’m selective
I don’t reply fast, I read intentions
Late-night drives, city low-lit
Windows cracked, let the stress drift
You say you done, but you spin back
Guess we both stuck on the same shit
⸻
[VERSE 2 – CADENCE SWITCH, MORE OBSERVATIONAL]
I stopped reactin’ off emotion
That shit had me runnin’ in circles
I learned silence speak louder
Than tryna prove shit to people
She want reassurance
I give her honesty instead
‘Cause comfort turn into expectations
And that’s how pressure start buildin’ in heads
I don’t ghost, I just fall back
That’s the part they never get
I be present when it matter
I just don’t live inside regret
You want old me, I outgrew that
New energy, can’t undo that
I ain’t cold, I’m just careful
Big difference if you look at it
⸻
[REFRAIN – CASH COBAIN POCKET]
Freeze… slow down
Feelings change when it get close now
Freeze… no sound
Heart stay cool, but you still come ‘round
⸻
[FINAL HOOK – STACKED, SLIGHTLY SOFTER]
Heart been cold, yeah, my feelings freezin’
She say I changed, I say I’m even
Phone still buzz, but I’m selective
I don’t reply fast, I read intentions
Late-night drives, city low-lit
Windows cracked, let the stress drift
You say you done, but you spin back
Guess we both stuck on the same shit
⸻
[OUTRO – STRIPPED, FADE OUT]
(quiet, half-sung)
Sometimes it ain’t love…
It’s just what you used to.
(beat rides out)
