🎤 Chorus (The Core Abandonment)
breathy, layered vocals here)
> (4 Bars)
> Six years and syrup, that's how long I've been waiting.
> I held the blame, baby, for the space you were creating.
> You chose the past, that ghost you knew from way back when,
> And left me asking, Was it wrong to ever let you in?
>
💔 Verse 1 (The Blame and Trauma)
> (8 Bars)
> I swear I still taste the salt of those tears I used to cry,
> Looking in the mirror, wondering why I wasn't enough, why I didn't try.
> That old childhood wound, you ripped the stitches off the scar.
> I thought I was healing, but your exit just took me back too far.
> See, I let you go, said, "Go do your thing, go choose the others."
> But every single text I get, I hope it's you, among the lovers.
> 'Cause I haven't moved an inch, baby, I'm stuck right where we ended,
> The one I wanted, the only one I wanted, and you still haven't truly mended.
>
🥞 Pre-Chorus (The Memory/Intimacy)
> (4 Bars)
> But I remember mornings... at the hotel.
> Eating breakfast off the trolley, throwing coins in the wishing well.
> We were just teenagers again, laughing at the world's delay.
> The intimacy was a fire, baby, why'd you let that fade away?
>

🥀 Verse 2 (The Contrast and Heartbreak)
> (8 Bars)
> We went from passionate to silent, like two strangers passing by.
> I replay our history just to figure out the reason why.
> Was I too much, or was I just exactly what you couldn't hold?
> You traded a future for a story that had already been told.
> It's raw and authentic, yeah, the love I have is still too loud.
> You're doing your own thing, I watch you moving through the crowd.
> But every place we used to drive by, I'm screaming your name inside my head,
> Knowing you're the one I needed, and the one who chose the other bed.
