[Verse 1]
Every time my phone buzz
I’m braced for war
Heart rate racing
Though I’ve seen this before
Same name, same number
Just a random friend
But my brain draw stories
Where it always ends
You out late?
I paint the worst scene
You laughin’ with somebody
That ain’t ever been seen
Scroll back, look twice
Read receipts like proof
Turnin’ question marks
To “I know the truth”
[Chorus]
My mind is a monster, tearing us apart
Clawin’ through the calm, chewin’ on my heart
You say you love me, I still feel misled
Not by you
By the beast in my head
My mind is a monster, it don’t need a fact
Just a shadow on the wall to launch an attack
You hold me, swear it’s all in my head
But I’m fightin’ this thing
This thing in my head
[Verse 2]
You say, “I’m just tired”
I hear, “I’m over you”
You say, “I’ll be right back”
I turn that to “who?”
I replay your laughter
Like a crime I’m tryin’ to solve
Buildin’ whole betrayals
That just never evolved
[low vocal register] I’m mad at a movie
My mind already wrote
Yellin’ at a storyline
You never even spoke
Then I see your eyes
All they show is hurt
You takin’ every bullet
From a brain that fires first
[Bridge]
I’m exhausted, you exhausted
We both on edge
I’m arguin’ with ghosts
While you’re beggin’ for rest
I’m jealous of a future
That ain’t even been said
Slammin’ doors on a house
That’s just in my head
[whispered vocals] I don’t wanna lose you
To a lie I fed
To a monster I trained
Livin’ rent‑free in my head
[Chorus]
