[Intro: Soft Rhodes Piano, R&B Guitar Plucking & Rain]
(Mmm, yeah...)
(The challenge has been accepted)
Listen close now
[Verse 1: Breathy, Close-Mic R&B Flow]
Lord knows I can do it, my urges in a tight line
I could give you my heart and still be fine
I can resist you, keep my spirit free
Through these hazy days of what could be
I want to tease you, please you, hold you close
But instead I gotta release you
[Pre-Chorus: Subtle Sub-Bass & Crisp Snaps]
Every time I think of you, it feels like a dare
Envy in my chest, I’m choking on the air
You turn and leave again, it cuts before I blink
Got me reaching for a hand that isn’t there!
[Beat Drop: Heavy Slow 808 Heartbeat Slams In]
[Chorus: Explosive Belt & Shouting Choir]
Just a body move, no real connection
You took what you wanted, left me aching
Got your fill, then you needed your space
Left me zipping my dress alone in this place
Big talk, but you couldn't stay
Now you're a ghost in the afterglow
You wanted the body, but the body won't beg!
[Verse 2: Snappy, Melancholy Neo-Soul]
Pressed by the door, your key dug into your palm
My fingers locked on the brass knob, trying to stay calm
Your eyes held mine over the chain, hanging sharp and tight
Temptation on my tongue, blurring wrong from right!
[Chorus: Explosive Belt & Shouting Choir]
Just a body move, no real connection
You took what you wanted, left me aching
Got your fill, then you needed your space
Left me zipping my dress alone in this place
Now you're a ghost in the afterglow
You wanted the body, but the body won't beg!
[Bridge: Gritty Flow over Acoustic Guitar & Cello]
I want truth, not somebody dressed up as innocence
Say it plain, stay present, don’t leave me talking to the wall
My love costs too much to be played like some side game
I’m done with the crumbs, I don’t bow, I don’t bend!
No more soft excuses.
I’m not your rescue.
(Three, two, one — drop the beat!)
[Chorus: Maximum Holy Energy Climax]
Just a body move, no real connection
You took what you wanted, left me aching
Got your fill, then you needed your space
Left me zipping my dress alone in this place
Now you're a ghost in the afterglow
You wanted the body, but the body won't beg!
[Outro: Slow Fade, Rhodes Piano & Rain Effects]
It's over.
My heels by the door.
The door is closed.
My name stays clean.
(Mmm... gone in the afterglow.)
[Fade Out]
