[Intro – half-sung, mumbly tone]
Yeah...
Mm-mm...
People love you till you don’t love 'em back...
Ayy, yeah...
[Verse 1 – melodic rap, sing-songy flow]
You’d think bein’ likeable's a gift (yeah)
Till it feel like a curse you can't lift (can't lift)
They show love but it come with a twist
Smile in your face but they hissin’ like this... (sshhh)
They don’t want you, they want the dream
The version they built behind their screen
And when you don’t play along, they flip
From “you're a vibe” to “you ain’t sh*t” (woah)
[Pre-Chorus – emotional, stretched vocals]
I never asked for the stage lights (nah)
Just wanted peace on my late nights
But they want more than I got
They want love I never bought...
[Chorus – heartfelt, Juice WRLD style hook]
Peng till it hurts, yeah, love till it bleeds
Tell me it’s real, but it feel like a need
They only love you when you play pretend
But I ain’t fakin’ for a fake best friend
Peng till it breaks, yeah, they want a piece
Of someone I ain't, of someone I’ll leave
You like me till you see the truth—
Then suddenly, I’m dead to you... yeah...
[Verse 2 – slightly faster, more rhythmic]
Look...
I gave a vibe, not a vow (nah)
You built a dream I can’t allow (can't)
I’m not your savior or your flame
So why I gotta take the blame?
You felt too much, I felt too little
Now I’m the villain in your middle
Of a story I ain’t write,
But somehow I’m the one who lied...
[Pre-Chorus – soft, near-whisper vocals]
I never meant to lead you on
But I ain’t wrong for movin’ on
You wanted me to fill a role
But I can’t love on no control...
[Chorus – full emotion, layered vocals]
Peng till it hurts, yeah, love till it bleeds
Tell me it’s real, but it feel like a need
They only love you when you play pretend
But I ain’t fakin’ for a fake best friend
Peng till it breaks, yeah, they want a piece
Of someone I ain't, of someone I’ll leave
You like me till you see the truth—
Then suddenly, I’m dead to you... yeah...
[Bridge – autotuned harmonies, Juice-style hums & breaks]
(Ooooh)
Love me...
Then hate me, just blame me...
(Oooooh)
Told you,
I never said I’d save you...
[Outro – stripped down piano, faded beat]
Yeah...
Peng till it hurts...
Likeable till they curse...
I gave you nothin' but me...
And still, that wasn’t free...
