Double Lives

[Verse 1]
You say “trust me”
And my chest locks up
Got a smile in your mouth
But I’m watching your thumbs
Who you texting back
When you turn that screen?
I’ve seen “forever”
On a thousand receipts
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “it’s nothing” sounds rehearsed
Every good morning feels rehearsed
I wish I could believe
You’re different from the worst
But
[Chorus]
Relationship PTSD
I flinch when you say you need me
If you ask me
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Everybody got
Double lives
I wanna fall
But I freeze
Heart on guard
Heavy with receipts
If you ask me
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Everybody got
Double lives (oh)
[Verse 2]
Say you’re “all in”
But I’ve heard that line
Saw a halo on a head
That was out all night
I’ve been promised the world
Paid in half-truth eyes
So I catalog your habits
Like alibis
[Pre-Chorus]
Every late reply’s a clue
Every “busy day” feels too smooth
I hate the way my brain
Keeps doubting every move
But
[Chorus]
Relationship PTSD
I flinch when you say you need me
If you ask me
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Everybody got
Double lives
I wanna fall
But I freeze
Heart on guard
Heavy with receipts
If you ask me
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Everybody got
Double lives (yeah)
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna cross-examine love
Don’t wanna scroll
Patrol
Wake up
To another “it’s not what it looks like”
I’m tired of the script
But it rewinds
Is it you or the ghosts in my mind?
Can anybody love me
And not live two lives? (tell me)
[Chorus]
Relationship PTSD
I flinch when you say you need me
If you ask me
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Everybody got
Double lives
I wanna fall
But I freeze
Heart on guard
Heavy with receipts
If you ask me
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Everybody got
Double lives
Yeah
If you ask me
Everyone lies
Everyone cheats
Everybody got
Double lives

pop, Moody modern pop with intimate male vocals over a pulsing midtempo groove. First verse sparse with soft keys and subtle bass swells; pre-chorus adds tight percussion and filtered synth risers. Chorus opens wide with shimmering pads, stacked harmonies, and a punchy sidechain kick. Bridge strips to vocal and pad, then final chorus hits hardest with ad-lib runs and a lifted top line.
