Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] We had that cheap wine Warm on the back porch You said “it’s always” I said “of course” You held your phone low Screen lighting your face Laughing at someone You swore was a mistake [Pre-Chorus] I kept on folding my anger Into little paper cranes Stacked them on the dresser Like they’d fly you out my brain [Chorus] You broke me first Now I’m better off numb Heart on the shelf And the senses shut down Yeah you were a fever I kept holding on Now I’m done I’m done I’m better off numb You cut me deep Now I don’t even bleed Cold in my chest where your fire used to be You were my storm I was drowning in love Now I’m done I’m done I’m better off numb [Verse 2] We had that same fight Over your late nights You smelled like perfume That wasn’t mine I played the blind one You played the martyr Both of us actors Reading from water [Pre-Chorus] I kept on blaming my heartbeat For pounding when you’d lie Thought I could move a mountain By wishing one more time [Chorus] You broke me first Now I’m better off numb Heart on the shelf And the senses shut down Yeah you were a fever I kept holding on Now I’m done I’m done I’m better off numb You cut me deep Now I don’t even bleed Cold in my chest where your fire used to be You were my storm I was drowning in love Now I’m done I’m done I’m better off numb [Bridge] I used to wait by the window (oh) Phone on my chest till it hurt Promised myself you’d be different You just got better at words Now when your name hits my screen It’s only static to me I finally feel like a person Not just a part of your scene [Chorus] You broke me first Now I’m better off numb Heart on the shelf And the senses shut down Yeah you were a fever I kept holding on Now I’m done I’m done I’m better off numb You cut me deep Now I don’t even bleed Cold in my chest where your fire used to be You were my storm I was drowning in love Now I’m done I’m done I’m better off numb

folk, Moody pop ballad with airy pads, distant piano, and tight trap drums; verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, pre-chorus lifts with rising synth swells, and the hook explodes into wide layered harmonies over a heavy, pulsing low end. Male vocals, breathy confessional tone with subtle falsetto ad-libs and a late-song dynamic drop before the final chorus., sad
