[VERSE / HOOK STYLE - emotional loop]
Say what you want, I still stay here
Even when your words cut too near
You don’t gotta lie, I already know
I was never someone you chose
Tell me I’m nothing, I don’t move
I still come back like I got something to prove
Even when it hurts, I don’t let go
I stay too long where I don’t belong
I was never in your world like that
Just a shadow you never looked back at
I made it bigger than it ever was
Now I’m stuck inside what I caused
You read my message but don’t reply
I still wait like I don’t know why
Every silence feels like a sign
That I was never on your mind (your mind…)
⸻
[HOOK LOOP - repetitive, hypnotic]
Break me down, I’ll stay the same
Say my name like it’s just a game
I don’t even fight it anymore
I still come back for more
Break me down, I don’t mind
As long as I’m still on your mind
Even if it hurts too much
I still come back for your touch (your touch…)
I keep staring at my phone again
Like maybe this time you’ll let me in
But it stays quiet every night
And I still pretend it feels alright (alright…)
⸻
[VERSE 2 - emotional drift]
You talk like I was never real
Like I was never something you’d feel
And I act like that’s okay with me
But I still replay everything
Maybe I built it out of air
Maybe you were never there
But it feels too real to let it go
Even when I already know
I check the time, I check the screen
Like something’s there I haven’t seen
But it never changes how it is
I’m just stuck inside this
And I hate that I still stay close
To something I already lost
But distance feels worse than pain
So I stay stuck in the same place again
⸻
[BRIDGE - stripped, looping thought]
I was never in your plans
Never in your hands
Just a moment that passed
That I turned into something that lasts
I was never in your view
Never close to you
But I still act like I was
Just because I want to
⸻
[FINAL HOOK - heavier emotional collapse]
Break me down, I’ll stay the same
Say my name like it’s just a game
I don’t even fight it anymore
I still come back for more
Break me down, I don’t mind
As long as I’m still on your mind
Even if I lose myself
I still show up like nobody else
I was never in competition
Never even in position
I just stayed too close
To something I already lost
And I still wait like I’m supposed to
Even though I know the truth
I was never in your world
I was just passing through (through…)
Vesper
