[Intro: Soft Haunting Piano]
(Mmm, mmm)
We stopped cold turkey...
(Yeah) We had to.
[Verse 1: Intimate, Close-Mic Vocals]
You told me long ago that this couldn't ever work
I don't know why I even tried, why I let the feelings lurk
I guess I thought love would win in the very end
Now I’m staring at the ceiling with a broken heart to mend
Are you even missing what we lost?
'Cause I’m out here paying all the emotional cost
I find myself driving near your place in the night
Checking to see if you're there, looking for a light
Wondering if you would give me a glare through the glass
Or if you're still mad at me, letting the shadows pass...
[Pre-Chorus: Gentle Bass Pulse Starts]
My sleep has been interrupted, I'm tossing in the sheets
Consumed at night with images of you and me, skipped heartbeats
Deep down I know the truth, we were never meant to be...
I had to pull the plug. I had to stop cold turkey.
[Beat Drop: Slow Heavy Heartbeat Bass & Drums]
[Chorus: Emotional Powerful Belt]
But the withdrawal symptoms are still affecting me!
Ten days later and I’m begging for you to set me free!
I keep begging in my head for you to break the silence sign
But I can't will something into existence on this line!
(Cold turkey, cold turkey, breaking the chain)
My words tell me what my heart wants today...
(Cold turkey, cold turkey, losing the game)
And it’s you, taking my breath away! (It's you!)
[Verse 2: Raw R&B Groove]
I just wasted my prayers on you, poured it all into the dark
And I realized after months, you were shielding every spark
All I wanted was you, I kept up the desperate chase
But you never really looked back at me in this lonely space
I don't even think you liked me the same, not even a few
And I’m a Sagittarius sun, I know when the energy fades from view!
[Bridge: Swelling Strings & High Emotion]
Wasted my prayers, replaying the cycle where I went wrong
Trying to quiet the static in a place where I don't belong
You never offered the anchor, never offered the safety of the shore
So here I am standing, but I’m locking up the door! (Locking the door!)
[Chorus: Stripped-Back Acapella Breakdown]
[Acapella]
C-C-Cold turkey, cold turkey, breaking the chain...
M-M-M-O, yeah, we're losing the game...
[Full Force Heavy Drop]
But the withdrawal symptoms are still affecting me!
Ten days later and I’m begging for you to set me free!
[Outro: Fading Piano & Soft Echoes]
My words tell me what my heart still wants.
Which is you.
Cold turkey.
Stop the chase.
Ten days later.
(I'm letting go...)
[Fade Out]
