Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You laughed at the way I still trusted everyone Said “stay close I’ll show you Where all that faith goes” First night You pushed me Into circles you already knew I watched you trade secrets For drinks and a ride home [Chorus] You were my lesson in cruel Wrote it on my skin like a bruise Tore up the map I believed in Left me with nothing to lose You were my lesson in cruel Smiled while you twisted the truth Now when I look at this world I just see versions of you [Verse 2] You held my hand light Walking past the cardboard beds Said “Don’t look too long Or you’ll end up just like them” Later that night You sold my story for a dare They laughed at my soft side You just fixed your hair [Chorus] [Bridge] You called it “growing up” I called it “coming apart” You said “Everybody takes” While slipping fingers in my heart Now every open door Feels like another trap Every kind word I keep reading it back [Chorus]

Lo-fi indie rock with male vocals; dry, close-mic’d voice over fingerpicked guitar that slowly thickens into crunchy rhythm strums, warm bass, and brushed drums. Verses stay intimate and confessional, chorus opens with roomy reverb and doubled vocals. Subtle organ pad blooms in the bridge; final chorus pulls instruments back for a raw, exposed ending., world
