Don’t Look Back

[Verse 1]
You packed your bags in your silence
Left your sweater on my chair
Coffee cup, lipstick on the rim
Proof that you were really there
Scuffed shoes by the doorway
Playlist still stuck on your song
Funny how the smallest things
Can scream that you’re gone
[Chorus]
So don’t look back
You chose the crash
You lit the match, let it burn to black
You lost me once
You don’t get that track
Keep your ghost in the past
Don’t look back, don’t look back
[Verse 2]
You text at 2 in the morning
“Just wanna see how you’ve been”
You loved the power of leaving
Now you miss the comfort I gave
I read the words, then I lock it
Stare at your name turning gray
I won’t be your half-time option
I’m the one that got away (yeah)
[Chorus]
So don’t look back
You chose the crash
You lit the match, let it burn to black
You lost me once
You don’t get that track
Keep your ghost in the past
Don’t look back, don’t look back
[Bridge]
You had the front row seat to my heart
Then you sold it cheap for a new start
Now you want a rerun, same old act
But I changed the script, I’m not coming back (nah)
[Chorus]
So don’t look back
You chose the crash
You lit the match, let it burn to black
You lost me once
You don’t get that track
Keep your ghost in the past
Don’t look back, don’t look back (yeah)
Don’t look back, don’t look back

rap, Moody pop-rap ballad with male vocals; spacious pads and soft piano under the verses, tight trap-style drums and 808-style low end in the hook. Verses are close-mic, almost whispered, then the chorus blooms with layered harmonies and a bright, bittersweet top line. Subtle guitar plucks in the bridge, slight saturation on the vocal for grit., pop
