[Verse 1]
Sitting here stressed, I'm confused
You keep switching up the truth
Say one thing, do another
Leave me guessing every move
I was the man in front of you
Taking care of our whole life
Held it down when it got heavy
You still turned it into knives
I paid the rent, I ran the plan
I kept the lights on in the storm
You kept smiling with a secret
Acting cold behind the warm
Now you want to call it "love"
When your love was set to slide
You don't know what you want
But you knew how to keep me tied
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what this is
Tell me what you need
I gave you my best
You gave me what you believed
[Chorus]
Mind games, mind games
You keep playing mind games
Mind games, mind games
I ain't built for these chains
Mind games, mind games
Say my name then change lanes
Mind games, mind games
You broke what love made
[Verse 2]
I see the pattern in your texts
Late replies, half-truth tones
Every promise had a crack
Every plan came back alone
I was there through every bill
Every doubt and every fall
You were looking for a door
While I was building up the wall
Now the room feels cold and thin
Even when you standing near
You can fake it for a second
But your silence tells me clear
If you wanted out, just say it
Don't dress chaos up as fate
Don't make me hold your shadow
While you hesitate and wait
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what this is
Tell me what you need
I gave you my best
You gave me what you believed
[Chorus]
Mind games, mind games
You keep playing mind games
Mind games, mind games
I ain't built for these chains
Mind games, mind games
Say my name then change lanes
Mind games, mind games
You broke what love made
[Bridge]
I don't need your half-answers
I don't need your blame
If your heart can't stay honest
Then don't call me to the flame
I was standing in the front line
You were slipping out the back
Now the truth is in the daylight
And it ain't coming back
[Chorus]
Mind games, mind games
You keep playing mind games
Mind games, mind games
I ain't built for these chains
Mind games, mind games
Say my name then change lanes
Mind games, mind games
You broke what love made
