You Won’t Know Me

[Verse 1]
Left me on read
Left me on empty
Said I was soft
Said I was gently
Took every scar
Folded it neatly
Buried that boy
You won’t ever meet me
Talked like I’d break
At the first hard season
You packed your bags
Called it "good reason"
Cool
You don’t owe me a thing
But the ghost of your choice gonna sharpen my wings (yeah)
[Chorus]
You won’t know me
When I’m walking in the room like a bad old dream
You’ll choke on every word that you said to me
Every little doubt that you fed to me
You won’t know me
New skin, new flame, I’m a different breed
You’ll stare at my face like a movie scene
Think, "How did he turn into everything I need?" (oh)
[Verse 2]
Used to be small
Used to be quiet
Now I make storms
Out of your silence
Used to be begging
You for your time
Now the clock on my wrist worth more than your pride
I burned that version
You used to lie to
Dug my way up
From the dirt you cried through
Name on a list
You can’t get into
Life pulled tight
Like a suit that fits you
[Chorus]
You won’t know me
When I’m walking in the room like a bad old dream
You’ll choke on every word that you said to me
Every little doubt that you fed to me
You won’t know me
New skin, new flame, I’m a different breed
You’ll stare at my face like a movie scene
Think, "How did he turn into everything I need?"
[Bridge]
Every "you’ll never be" turned to "I did that"
Every tear on my sleeve now a stitch in my new path
Every time that you left, I was learning to leave too
Not you
The weak me that believed you (yeah)
[Chorus]
You won’t know me
When I’m walking in the room like a bad old dream
You’ll choke on every word that you said to me
Every little doubt that you fed to me
You won’t know me
New skin, new flame, I’m a different breed
You’ll stare at my face like a movie scene
Think, "How did he turn into everything I need?"
[Outro]
I won’t call back
I won’t explain
Just let my shine
Haunt your name
Raise this life
Like a toast to the pain
You lost the boy
I became the legend of your blame

rap, Dark cinematic hip-hop / R&B hybrid with male vocals; sparse piano and distant choirs in the verses over booming low-end and sharp, echoing percussion. Hook swells with layered harmonies and a wide, reverb-heavy lead, tempo slow but head-nodding. Subtle strings and reversed textures creep in by the bridge for a haunted, epic lift, then everything drops to near-silence on the final line., hip hop, r&b, slow
