U bet against us

Verse 1 [raspy male vocals, slow]

I told you straight, girl, we can’t go on like this

Burnin’ money on that phone, can’t call it bliss

I was proud you were tryin’, thought you were fightin’ right

But you lied to me again in the dead of night

Pre-Chorus [guitar swell, soft harmonica]

Held onto your money, tried to keep us alive

Drew one hard line, thought it would survive

Chorus [full beat, echo on vocals, harmonica heavy after line]

You chose that damn screen over what we could’ve had

I still love you, girl, but this shit makes me mad

Can’t build a future with someone who won’t see

What we had together meant the world to me

Verse 2 [acoustic with 808 pulse, raspy whispering]

We laughed till the walls shook, just the two of us

Thought every day was ours, every moment enough

But every spin, every dollar gone

Took the girl I love and left me holdin’ on

Pre-Chorus [soft organ pad, echoing guitar]

I gave you a line, told you the stakes were high

But you hit that screen like I didn’t even try

Chorus [full, harmonica wail, raspy vocals]

You chose that damn screen over what we could’ve had

I still love you, girl, but this shit makes me mad

Can’t build a future with someone who won’t see

What we had together meant the world to me

Bridge [raspy, almost spoken, echo on last words]

It hurts so bad, I wish you were here with me

I still love you today, but I can’t just let it be

I can’t chase a life you don’t even want

Can’t stay in a dream that’s already gone

Final Chorus [full instrumentation, harmonica peak, vocals slow and raw]

You chose that damn screen over what we could’ve had

I still love you, girl, but this shit makes me mad

Can’t build a future with someone who won’t see

What we had together meant the world to me
