LEMON DROP

“I keep sayin’ I’m done…

but every time I try to move on,

I end up missin’ the way you feel.”

(soft breath, beat creeps in)

⸻

I been movin’ careful, keep my distance (slow…)

Still you pull me in without intention (you do…)

Say you changed, say you different (that’s what you say)

But you still lean close when the lights dim (mm…)

You don’t ask me where I been (don’t ask)

You don’t question who I’m with (nah)

You just pour another drink (pour it)

Like you know how this shit end (every time…)

First taste smooth, then it bite (it bite…)

You say stop, then stay the night (stay…)

You don’t love how this go (you don’t)

But you love how it feel every time (yeah…)

⸻

You say you good on your own (on your own…)

But your hands say you lyin’ (they do…)

If you really let me go (let me go…)

Why you still right here tryin’? (why…)

⸻

I been sippin’ on emotions like a lemon drop (lemon drop…)

Sweet on my tongue, then my chest get hot (burn…)

You say this bad for you, maybe not (maybe…)

But you still drink it till the feelin’ stop (don’t stop…)

I been sippin’ on emotions like a lemon drop (again…)

Every sip hit different, still you want the shot (one more…)

Say you done with me, then you not (you not…)

You know the burn don’t ever make you stop (nah…)

⸻

You don’t want love, you want the moment (right now…)

I don’t want stress, I want you focused (focus…)

We keep sayin’ “this the last time” (last time…)

But we both know how weak that sounds (we do…)

You don’t kiss me, you hover (hover…)

Like you scared of fallin’ under (don’t fall…)

Say my name like it’s trouble (say it…)

But you still say it softer (soft…)

I don’t promise you clarity (I don’t…)

Just the truth when it’s late (so late…)

If you stay, that’s your call (your call…)

I won’t beg you to wait (won’t beg…)

⸻

Maybe we just like the burn (the burn…)

Maybe calm don’t feel the same (don’t feel the same…)

Every time you want peace (peace…)

You come back to the flame (right here…)

⸻

I been sippin’ on emotions like a lemon drop (lemon drop…)

Sweet at first, then my chest get hot (burn…)

You say this bad for you, maybe not (maybe…)

But you still drink it till the feelin’ stop (don’t stop…)

I been sippin’ on emotions like a lemon drop (slow…)

You know the burn, you know the cost (you know…)

Say you done with me, then you not (you not…)

You never leave it, you just pause (just pause…)

⸻

“It don’t taste the same…

but I keep goin’ back.”

(soft exhale, beat fades)
