(Intro)
(Slow, melancholic piano with heavy reverb. Vocal is breathy/sad)
You took my smile away with you...
I have a knot in my throat.
You said I was the woman of your life...
[Glitch/Stutter Effect: th-th-that was just a... a...]
Just a hoax.
(Verse 1)
(Trap drums kick in: slow 808 sub-bass, snappy snare, fast hi-hats)
I can’t believe I fell for the games, shame on me
What will it take for this heart to heal, be me again?
I keep replaying the words you say, you promised a future
All I got were 9 hours each Friday—what a suture
(Sound design: A quiet "whoosh" sound)
I wrote songs about a love I've never had before
Man I wish every word was the truth, yeah I wish for more...
[Glitch effect: W-w-wish was the... TRUTH.]
(Pre-Chorus)
(Music cuts out except for a riser and vocal, build tension)
Instead of how you became like the rest
Used me as a quick fix on your ego, left me a mess!
(Scream-singing)
YEAH YOU LEFT ME A MESS!
(Chorus - Drop 1)
(HARD DUBSTEP DROP: Heavy metallic bass, chopped vocal samples)
I TRUSTED YOU! [Bass Drop]
[Vocal Glitch: w-w-w-word became a q-q-question]
Question mark!
(Synth wobble)
Stories would change, leaving me puzzled
Filling in the gaps, just to keep me muzzled!
[Vocal Glitch: k-k-keep you... a-around]
How could you be so... COLD?
(Verse 2)
(Drums shift to a faster hip-hop pattern, lighter bass)
Lack of transparency, just so that you would get your way
You never loved me... it was all control, day by day
You kept your life a secret, buried underneath the mask
Now all I'm left with are regrets—the hardest task.
(Bridge)
(Melody slows down, heavy emotional vocal processing, ambient soundscape)
But it was a learned lesson...
A really hard pill to swallow...
(Vocal echoes: Swallow... swallow...)
I will become a better person, yeah I will rise
With a built-in...
(Beat stops completely)
...Bullshit detector.
(Chorus - Drop 2)
(MAXIMUM ENERGY DROP: Fast melodic dubstep/trap mix)
NO ONE WILL BREAK ME THIS BAD AGAIN! [Massive Bass Drop]
[Vocal Glitch: n-n-no one... b-b-break... me]
[Glitch: a-a-again... a-a-again]
No, never again!
[Glitch: u-u-used me]
(Outro)
(Piano returns, drums disappear)
You never loved me.
It was all control.
Learned my lesson.
[Vocal slows down and pitches down to silence]
...Bullshit detector.
