Silent Goodbye

Intro]

(Slow, moody synth bass. Similar to the start of "What Goes Around")

Yeah...

Look, I told you, baby.

It’s not even anger anymore.

It’s just… it’s done.

You just didn’t listen.

I heard you talking to your friends again

Telling them I’m the one who didn’t try in the end

But you remember all the nights I sat alone

When your "work meetings" meant you wasn't coming home?

I was too nice, yeah, I played it cool

Told your mama you were sweet, I was acting like a fool

Now your phone is buzzing, and you're running to the door

But I can't love you anymore

(Beat builds up)

Yeah, you thought I'd be crying by the picture frame

Tearing up my clothes, calling out your name

But I’m just packing quiet, watching you get frantic

Look in the mirror, yeah, is it worth the panic?

It’s a tale as old as time, baby, I tried to tell ya...

(Heavy R&B drums kick in - "What Goes Around" Style)

What goes around, comes around, comes around

Yeah, it comes all the way back around

What goes around, comes around, comes around

You reap what you sow, and I’m letting you drown

In the lies you created, the games you played

Don’t ask for my sympathy, look at the mess you made

What goes around, comes around, comes around

(Yeah, it comes back)

I think it's funny how the karma works

Now you're feeling all the quiet pains and the silent jerks

You call me up at 3 AM to find a friend

But I'm just watching you get broken in the end

I’m polite when I see you, I’m nice to your folks

But loving you is just a tired, toxic joke

I played my part, kept my side of the street clean

Now I'm watching you live in your own scene

Yeah, you thought I'd be crying by the picture frame

Tearing up my clothes, calling out your name

But I’m just packing quiet, watching you get frantic

Look in the mirror, yeah, is it worth the panic?

It’s a tale as old as time, girl, I told ya...

What goes around, comes around, comes around

Yeah, it comes all the way back around

What goes around, comes around, comes around

You reap what you sow, and I’m letting you drown

In the lies you created, the games you played

Don’t ask for my sympathy, look at the mess you made

What goes around, comes around, comes around

(Tempo slows down, smooth R&B vibe)

Yeah...

I treated your mama right.

I kept the house bright.

But you wanted darkness...

Now you get the night.

It's just the way it goes.

Don't you know?

(Melancholy but rhythmic)

(Beat returns, maximum energy)

What goes around, comes around, comes around

Yeah, it comes all the way back around

What goes around, comes around, comes around

You reap what you sow, and I’m letting you drown

In the lies you created, the games you played

Don’t ask for my sympathy, look at the mess you made

What goes around, comes around, comes around

(Beat fades, similar to the end of "What Goes Around")

Look at you now.

All on your own.

Ain't that the way it goes?

(What goes around... co
