Verse 1
You check my phone like there’s secrets in the glow
Asking names I don’t even know
You say you see shadows where I stand
But you’re fighting ghosts, not another man
You say I’m smiling like I’m hiding something
Like I’ve got a lineup waiting on me
But baby, what you’re jealous of
Is the chaos I don’t talk about enough
Pre-Chorus
They don’t touch me
They don’t call
They just show up
When it’s quiet, when it’s dark, when I fall
Chorus
You think I got hoes, yeah, you swear it’s true
But the hoes are the voices I’m fighting through
They don’t love me, they don’t stay
They just live in my head every day
You say I’m cheating, say I’m out of line
But I’m loyal to you, just losing my mind
If you’re scared of what you see
Baby, those hoes ain’t real — they’re haunting me
Verse 2
I laugh it off so you don’t worry
Turn pain into something blurry
You think distance means I’m drifting away
But I’m just trying to survive another day
You say “who were you talking to just now?”
I say “no one,” and I mean it somehow
‘Cause the only ones pulling at my sleeve
Are the things in my head I don’t want you to see
Pre-Chorus
They don’t kiss me
They don’t care
They just whisper
When I’m tired, when I’m scared, when you’re not there
Chorus
You think I got hoes, yeah, you swear it’s true
But the hoes are the voices I’m fighting through
They don’t love me, they don’t stay
They just live in my head every day
You say I’m cheating, say I’m out of line
But I’m loyal to you, just losing my mind
If you’re scared of what you see
Baby, those hoes ain’t real — they’re haunting me
Bridge
I need you to trust me when I say
I’m not entertaining anyone else
I’m just at war with myself
Hold my hand when I space out
Don’t turn fear into a fallout
I don’t need a trial, I need a home
I don’t need blame, I need you close
Final Chorus / Outro
You think I got hoes, but it’s not that deep
It’s just things I see when I don’t sleep
I choose you in the noise, in the doubt
Even when my mind is loud
So if I’m distant, if I break
Don’t assume my love is fake
I’m not cheating, I’m just trying to breathe
Those hoes ain’t real — they’re haunting me
