Midnight War

Intro: Female - airy, layered harmonies]

Mmm…

We used to move like water, now we crash like waves

I call it love, but you call it phase

You feel distant in a hundred ways

So what we fightin’ for these days?

You love the way I ride for you

But you ain’t never drove the same

I been holdin’ on in silence

While you be throwin’ dirt on my name

I gave you soul, gave you rhythm, gave you grace

You gave excuses and a pretty face

Look, I ain’t perfect, never said I was

But you love the chaos, now you call it dust

We was dancin’ through the fire, now it’s cold between us

You want truth, but don’t believe us

(Female) You only show up when I ghost you

(Male) You only speak love when I post you

(Female) Tell me what’s real, what’s supposed to…

(Both) Be this midnight war we both go through

If this love’s a battlefield, tell me who we fightin’?

Used to be light, now we both in hiding

Call me when the pain stops biting

Or maybe we done… maybe we’re done

’Cause I don’t want war with the one I love

Yeah, I been real from the jump, no edit

But your pride got a leash, won’t let it

Girl, you toxic in silk, I said it

And I’m addicted to the high, I regret it

We playin’ tug of war with broken ropes

I pray for peace, but you pullin’ hope

Got me drownin’ in a love that can’t float

I want more than this tension

Want your soul, not just attention

If you down, stop pretending

Let’s stop endin’ what we keep mendin’

If this love’s a battlefield, tell me who we fightin’?

Used to be light, now we both in hiding

Call me when the pain stops biting

Or maybe we done… maybe we’re done

’Cause I don’t want war with the one I love

I don’t want war with the one I love

Say peace…

Say love…

Let’s stop makin’ war… just because
