Iran From You

(Intro – soft piano, distant news clips about war)
They sayin’ we might go to war…
But truth is… I been fightin’ one of my own.

⸻

(Verse 1)
They say we might go to war, world lookin’ cold again
But I been battlin’ demons ever since we hit the end
Funny how Iran got me thinkin’ ’bout how I ran
Outta time… but the love Isreal, not just a trend

Late nights scrollin’, heart still patrollin’
Thoughts of you drift in while the whole world’s explodin’
Used to feel peace when your name lit my phone
Now I’m fightin’ off ghosts every night on my own

⸻

(Chorus)
It’s crazy out here, but it’s crazier in me
I ran from your love like a coward, lowkey
Got me thinkin’ how I ran outta time, can’t heal
But the love was true—yeah, the love Isreal

Hope you good, shorty, hope you sleepin’ well
While I’m stuck in this silence, my own private hell
Be safe out there in this world that don’t care
I still whisper your name like a prayer in the air

War in the headlines, but inside I fell
’Cause I’ve been at war, at war with myself

⸻

(Verse 2)
I ain’t tryna make this about me, I know you moved on
But sometimes I wonder if you hear this in a song
Would you think of that night? Would you think of that kiss?
Would you feel what I feel, or forget I exist?

Truth is, I hope you found peace
Hope the pain left your chest and your nights got relief
But I had to say this, even if it’s too late
You deserved more than a boy who ran from fate

⸻

(Chorus – repeat)
It’s crazy out here, but it’s crazier in me
I ran from your love like a coward, lowkey
Got me thinkin’ how I ran outta time, can’t heal
But the love was true—yeah, the love Isreal

Hope you good, shorty, hope you sleepin’ well
While I’m stuck in this silence, my own private hell
Be safe out there in this world that don’t care
I still whisper your name like a prayer in the air

War in the headlines, but inside I fell
’Cause I’ve been at war, at war with myself

⸻

(Outro – stripped down)
They say we might go to war…
But the war that broke me? That already passed.
I ran, yeah… but that love was real.
Stay safe out there, shorty. I’m still finding peace in the pieces.
