[ INTRO (male – calm, almost detached) ]
Yeah…
Time passed.
Feelings didn’t disappear…
they just stopped controlling me.
⸻
[ VERSE 1 (MALE – colder Drake tone)]
I checked back in, didn’t feel a thing
Same city lights but they dimmer to me
I don’t replay arguments in my head
I just remember where we shoulda been
You hit my phone on some “just say hey”
I read it twice, then put it away
Not out of anger, just clarity
Some chapters close without ceremony
I learned peace don’t gotta be loud
Sometimes you walk away proud
I don’t wish bad, I just wish distance
‘Cause love feel different when it ain’t consistent
⸻
[HOOK (FEMALE – softer, reflective, bittersweet)]
We still ain’t the same, I can admit that
Time didn’t heal, it just shifted the facts
I see you clearer when you’re not here
Guess space finally told the truth to us
Still ain’t the same, but I understand
We both moved on the best way we can
If this is closure, let it be that
I won’t hold you where you can’t stand
⸻
[VERSE 2 (MALE – Tory “Bittersweet” growth, no bitterness)]
I don’t miss the drama, I miss the start
When everything pure and we played our part
Some love don’t die, it just change form
Turn into lessons, not open scars
You wanted passion, I wanted peace
We wanted different versions of “we”
Nobody wrong, just out of sync
That truth took time to settle in
I don’t replay what I coulda did
I did enough, that’s the closure
I ain’t guarded, I’m just smarter now
Heart still open, just lower exposure
⸻
[HOOK (FEMALE – stronger, layered harmonies)]
We still ain’t the same, and that’s okay
Some love don’t last, it just shows the way
I won’t rewind, I won’t replay
We grew past the hurt, not past the memory
Still ain’t the same, but I’m fine with it
I don’t need answers, I needed peace
If this the ending, let it breathe
No more holding what don’t wanna stay with me
⸻
[BRIDGE (DUET – overlapping honesty)]
[Male:]
I stopped trying to change your mind
Started changing my pace
[Female:]
I stopped waiting on timing
Started choosing myself
⸻
[OUTRO (female hums, male final line)]
[Male:]
We ain’t the same…
but we better than before.
(female hum fades as beat dissolves)
