Verse 1 – slow, intimate vocals over acoustic guitar + low 808s]
You knew I was bad news
The second I kissed you with your tears still fresh
You liked the way I held you
But ignored how I never looked you in the eye
I said I don’t do love
You said you could handle it
Now you in my bed
Cryin’ like I promised you something real
⸻
[Hook – melodic, layered harmonies with country twang]
Don’t say you ain’t know
I was cold from the jump
You held a flame in your hands
Thinkin’ it wouldn’t burn you up
Don’t say you ain’t know
I was empty when we met
You gave me everything
I gave you regret
⸻
[Verse 2 – confessional, but still blaming her a little]
You let me lie
And called it love
You saw red flags
And painted roses
I said I don’t stay
You still made room for me
Like I was yours
But I never asked to be
⸻
[Bridge – bluesy falsetto with steel guitar sliding in the back]
I leave early in the morning
Whiskey breath, same clothes
You text me paragraphs
I send one-word smoke
⸻
[Hook – repeat, stronger delivery]
Don’t say you ain’t know
I was selfish from the start
You wanted all of me
I only showed you parts
Don’t say you ain’t know
What I was really on
You tried to love a storm
And now you’re mad it’s gone
⸻
[Outro – whispered with light echo]
You didn’t want a cowboy
You wanted a cure
And now you mad
That I’m still…
Who I was before
