Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You circle my name On the back of your hand Like a joke Like a dare Like a thing you can wash away You talk in half-facts Every word Boomerang Coming back Coming back Right between my eyes [Chorus] I was a mistake You carved in pencil Smudged me out when it got too real I was a mistake You keep re-drawing Same wrong line you refuse to feel I was a mistake Say it again Say it again till it tastes like truth I was a mistake But I’m not Coming back to you [Verse 2] You spin your excuses Like coins on the floor Watch them wobble Then fall Then pretend you can’t hear the sound You call it bad timing I call it what it is You chose the comfort of lies Over anything we had [Chorus] I was a mistake You carved in pencil Smudged me out when it got too real I was a mistake You keep re-drawing Same wrong line you refuse to feel I was a mistake Say it again Say it again till it tastes like truth I was a mistake But I’m not Crawling back to you [Bridge] Turn the volume up On every ugly word Let it crack Let it burn Let it stain the air You don’t get my silence You don’t get my rage You just get the echo Of the name you erased [Chorus] I was a mistake You carved in pencil Smudged me out when it got too real I was a mistake You keep re-drawing Same wrong line you refuse to feel I was a mistake Say it again Say it again till it tastes like truth I was a mistake Now I’m gone And the error Is you
Tags
pop, Alt indie / alt pop with male vocals through a gritty, vintage-tinged mic. Bass-forward groove, saturated low-end and dry, close drums locking into a midtempo stomp. Verses stay tight and tense with palm-muted guitar and subtle synth swells; chorus widens with doubled vocals, wide fuzz guitar, and distorted bass hitting harder. Occasional tape-warp effects and abrupt drops accent the anger.
