Fraction of Me

(Intro)

(Heavy, distorted 808 bass kicks in immediately with a sharp, ticking hi-hat)

(Atmospheric synth pads swirling in the background)

(Spoken/Whispered: Yeah, it’s heavy... I didn't want this for you.)

(Verse 1)

I see that look in your eyes, deep as the ocean

Tracing my silhouette like I’m your only devotion

You’re building a temple for a ghost that can’t stay

And it kills me to know I’m the one in your way

You’re asking for forever, you’re ready to dive

But I’m just barely keeping my own spirit alive.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m a puzzle with the pieces scattered on the floor

How can I give you everything when I’m still looking for more?

It’s a beautiful tragedy, the way you love me whole

While I’m still tryna find the rhythm in my soul.

(Chorus)

(The beat drops hard—heavy kick drums and a melodic trap soul vibe)

I didn’t mean to break it, babe, I swear

To leave you gasping for a love that isn't there

I’m not complete enough to be your all

I’m still a house with a broken wall

I’m giving you pieces while you’re giving me your heart

But I can’t finish what I didn't even start

I'm sorry I’m not whole…

(No, I’m not whole).

(Verse 2)

You deserve a woman who’s got nothing to hide

With no static in her mind and no hollow inside

But I’m a work in progress, a book with missing pages

I’ve been locked in these internal stages for ages

If I let you in now, you’d just fall through the cracks

And I love you too much to give you a love that’s abstract.

(Bridge)

(Beat cuts out for the first two lines, then slams back in with a darker energy)

See, the last one didn’t just leave, he took the blueprints

Left his fingerprints on parts of me that don’t even exist

He reached inside and pulled until the seams started giving

Now I’m just a shell of a woman, barely even living

He walked away with my trust tucked in his pocket

Took the key to my heart and then he decided to lock it

So when you reach for me, you’re reaching for a shadow

My pieces aren't mine, they’re scattered in the shallow

He left me hollow...

(Ad-lib: He took it all, babe...)

Yeah, he left me hollow.

(Chorus)

(Maximum energy, layered vocal harmonies)

I didn’t mean to break it, babe, I swear

To leave you gasping for a love that isn't there

I’m not complete enough to be your all

I’m still a house with a broken wall

I’m giving you pieces while you’re giving me your heart

But I can’t finish what I didn't even start

I'm sorry I’m not whole…

(Outro)

(High-pitched synth melody fades, leaving just the heavy 808 thumping)

I'm a fraction...

(Pieces aren't mine)

He took 'em with him...

(808 heartbeat stops abruptly)
