"Still the Same

I know it’s late for me, and never for you

You might be across the sea, chasing something new

We were only 18, life came fast

Now you're up all night, forgetting the past

But all I wanted...

Was for you to dream about me

You chose white lights over quiet nights

I stayed behind, you took flight

I wish I said more when you were mine

But it’s cool... my tears dry with time

Lesson up, girl, you got nothin' to prove

Stayin’ up late like you got somethin’ to lose

But baby don’t change — stay who you are

You’re already a light, don’t reach for stars

The world wants you to blend in and play the game

But you were never built for that, you're not the same

They won't get it when they see you rise

But I always saw the fire in your eyes

Baby, don’t change anything about you

They can try, but they can’t outshine your truth

You can switch your lips, your eyes, your nose

But real beauty’s deeper, and that’s what shows

I know how much your fam’s been through

But you’ve always stayed true

Tomorrow might change everything

But you’ll still be the same to me

You always been so pretty, even when you didn’t see it

Never needed filters, girl, just needed to believe it

How much would it take for you to run to me?

Would you even stop if you heard me scream?

I don’t got a Benz, I don’t got fans

But I had you once, and I blew that chance

Now I’m just a mess with an empty side

Wishing I could rewind that night

I love you for you, not who they want you to be

If only you could see what I see

Tomorrow comes, and people change

But last night’s you? Still the same

Baby, don’t change anything about you

The world’s loud, but I know what’s true

You can paint your face, fix every line

But you’ll never outdo what’s already divine

And yeah, the fam comes and goes

But you? You glow

You’re more than just a phase

Girl, you’ll always be the same

Still the same...

Still the same to me

Even if you don’t believe it

I always did
