Intro
I tell myself it’s different this time…
but I’ve said that before.
Verse 1
Phone lights up, I stare at it too long,
waiting for it to turn into something wrong.
It’s small talk, it’s nothing, it’s fine…
but I read between every single line.
He says my name like it’s normal to say,
but I’ve heard that tone in another way.
Calm voice, same kind of start…
right before people fall apart.
Pre-Chorus
I don’t mean to do this again,
but my head already went there.
Chorus
It’s the same story, different name,
different face but it feels the same.
I try to stay, then I pull away,
waiting for it to change one day.
It’s the same story, different name,
I swear I’m not built this way…
but every time it starts feeling safe
I’m already halfway gone again.
Verse 2
He checks on me, I don’t know why that scares me,
good intentions always feel like a warning to me.
I’ve seen it shift, I’ve seen it fade,
I’ve seen “I’m not leaving” change.
So I stay quiet, I play it cool,
act like I don’t follow every move.
But I notice everything too much,
every gap, every pause, every touch.
Pre-Chorus
I want to believe it’s not a repeat,
but my body doesn’t agree.
Chorus
It’s the same story, different name,
different face but it feels the same…
Bridge
Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m stuck in it,
maybe I turn every good thing into risk.
I don’t want to push it away,
but I don’t know how to stay.
If it breaks, I’ll say I knew…
but part of me still wants it to be new.
Chorus
It’s the same story, different name,
but I’m still here anyway.
Trying to learn not to run
when it starts feeling like someone.
It’s the same story, different name…
but I don’t want it to end the same.
Outro
Same story… different name…
please don’t let it be the same.
Beexii
