[VERSE 1 – SARCASTIC, BITTER SMILE]
he’s NICE to me, yeah, REAL damn SWEET
says “good game” when i’m DEAD on my feet
but he’s NICE to HER too—so what’s the POINT?
just his PERSONALITY? fuckin’ DISAPPOINT
---
[VERSE 2 – SNARKY, MOCKING]
“don’t know how to PLAY, huh?” — he LAUGHS
and i eat that SHIT like candy in WRAPS
why the FUCK do i LIKE that tone?
why does his SHADE feel like a THRONE?
---
[PRE-CHORUS – GROWING ANNOYED]
but he teases EVERYONE, throws the SAME damn shade
like i’m not even a PLAYER in this GAME he played
still i’m HERE, chewing dreams like GLASS
hoping i’ll somehow be the ONE to LAST
---
[CHORUS – LOUD, AGGRESSIVE]
he wants my FUCKING RACKET
says “lemme try it,” like he’ll CRACK it
hell BENT, all GRIN, won’t let it REST
and i LIKE that he CHOOSES what i PROTECT best
maybe it’s just to MESS with me
maybe he loves my AGONY
and maybe i’m FUCKED for loving it too
for making a BATTLE feel like something NEW
---
[VERSE 3 – FAST, BREATHLESS]
SIXTEEN and STUCK in a losing GAME
he’s NINETEEN, and i ain’t got a NAME
not to him, not like THAT, i KNOW
but damn it, i still let the DAYDREAMS FLOW
---
[BRIDGE – WHISPERED, THEN SNAPS]
he’s NICE to her, SAME smile, SAME tone
and i’m still STANDING here, alone
dreaming like a STUPID FUCKING KID
loving every tiny thing he DID
---
[FINAL CHORUS – SCREAMING, RAW]
he GRABS at my FUCKING RACKET
and i LAUGH like i didn’t already CRACK it
every TEASE, every STUPID LINE
i wear it like a badge, like he’s already MINE
i KNOW it’s a LIE, i KNOW he won’t STAY
he doesn’t look at me in THAT kinda WAY
but SCREW IT—let me DREAM, let me BURN
maybe in another life, he’d FUCKING RETURN
