[Short Instrumental Intro soft keys, ambient rain]
She don’t post him… she post herself…
Tryna look whole, but I see her breakin’…
[Hook – dreamy & repetitive like a mantra]
I wanna be delusional about you
I wanna be delusional about you
Dreamin’ like you dreamin’ me too
Wishin' I was the one you run to
[Verse 1 R&B flow]
You don’t post him, but you post your smile
Like you ain’t been cryin’ in the midnight hours,
I see you frontin’ for the world to see
But girl, I know pain, the struggle in your eyes,
He got you dressed up but emotionally stressed
Smilin’ online, but behind that? Shakin’
He don’t know what he got, that’s tragic
You need love that’s real, not magic
I ain’t perfect, but I’m different
I got room in my chest, perfect for you,
I would hold you, not just touch
Love you slow, love you much
[Pre-Chorus – building into the chorus]
If you gave me one chance, I’d take it
Wrap your fears up and erase it
You been settlin’ for what ain’t whole
While I’m here, ready to love your soul
[Chorus based on your original line, full emotion]
I wanna be delusional about you
Give you the whole world, not just the view
I know you with that other boy
But deep down, you feel it too
He got your mind in the wrong place
Imma have your mind in the right space
If you gave me a shot, best believe
I’d make the best of it, you won’t ever leave
Just like Keyshia Cole say…
Loooooveeeee — never knew what I was missin’
Girl, I was missin’ you…
[Break whispered, echoing pain]
She don’t post him…
But she post herself…
That’s a cry for help
That’s a lie she tell herself…
[Verse 2 raw, poetic obsession]
He got your time, but I got the vision
I’d give you more than just attention, I’d give intention
Picture us — slow mornings, late talks
Soft hands, deep walks, no fake love
He got you confused, caught in pride
But girl, I know what’s behind those eyes
You ain’t seen real love, not yet
But if you let me in, I’ll erase regret
You with him outta habit
But I’m the one who'd treat you like magic
I don’t want what’s perfect, I want what’s true
And what’s true is — I see you
[Melodic Interlude soft humming, space to breathe]
Girl I was missin' you…
Never knew, never knew…
[Final Chorus – more power, more emotion]
I wanna be delusional about you
I’d build you a home, not just a room
He hold your waist, but I’d hold your spirit
Say the things you need, and mean it
He got your mind in the wrong place
I’d keep it safe, no heartbreak
If you gave me that open door
You’d never have to fake no more
Just like Keyshia Cole say…
Loooooveeeee — never knew what I was missin’
Now I know, I was missin’ you…
Missin’ you
[Outro slow fade, almost whispered]
Still missin’ you…
Still hopin’ you see it…
Even if you never do…
I'll love you from this side of truth.
She don’t post him…
But maybe one day, she’ll post us…
