[Intro – whispered]
Yeah…
It’s that same time again
And I’m still here…
Counting down the seconds so I don’t call you…
[Verse 1]
It’s 23:59 and your name lights up in blue
I reread the text I never sent: “I miss you, fuck you, goodbye.”
The room still smells like that cheap perfume from duty-free
Like old sweat and promises that rotted on my skin.
You said “this is the last time” — but we’re already at a hundred lasts
And I’m still paying for the Uber to fall where I shouldn’t fall.
Your lips taste like betrayal with a Henny chaser
And I swallow the poison like it’s honey.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know tomorrow I’ll hate myself
But tonight your legs speak to me in Braille
And I read every bruise like it’s saying “stay.”
[Chorus]
At 23:59 I still love you
But at 00:01 I hate you all over again.
Your name burns in my chest like a cigarette badly put out
And I keep smoking the ashes of what we never saved.
Tell me it hurts, tell me I’m lying
Just don’t leave me alone with this silence…
23:59 and I’m still yours
Even when the clock hits 00:00 and you’re no longer mine.
[Verse 2]
Your stories are for somebody else, but my sheets still testify
They scream your name when someone new tries to be with me.
I keep your deleted nudes in the folder called “never again”
But at 3 a.m. I crack the safe like a sentimental thief.
You say you’ve changed, that you’re not the same girl
But that tattoo on your waist is still my signature.
And I, idiot that I am, think I can still erase it
With kisses that taste like goodbye and “one last time, for real.”
[Bridge – HER part (female feat, cold and sharp)]
Once again with your “I miss you” under dim lights
But in the daytime not even a read receipt, what the fuck?
You talk eternal love, I talk bills
You talk memories, I talk burning the photos on the rooftop.
You say it hurts… well it hurts more knowing
Tomorrow you’ll do the same and I’ll still pick up.
“One last time,” you said — a hundred times ago
So this time I’m the one hanging up first, amen.(Overlapping chaos)
Him: One last time…
Her: There’s no more time…
[Final Chorus – both, explosive]
Him:
At 23:59 I still love you…
Her (over him):
And at 00:00 I’m blocking your number for good. Him:
Your name burns like a cigarette I never put out…
Her:
And I’m lighting a new one with someone who isn’t you, bye.
[Outro – stereo whispers]
Left ear (him):
It’s that same time again… and I’m still here…
Right ear (her):
This time I didn’t answer… and I’m already gone.(Call drops. Silence.)
