Cheat2

Yeah…

Ain’t nobody wanna talk about the real

When the love on mute

Guess I’m the villain now

⸻

Hook (Main)

You outta commission, guess the line went dead

Ain’t no communication in the bed we share

You say it ain’t you, tryna blame instead

So I cheat, cheat… guess I cheat

You wanna put the blame on somethin’

When the love went cold for nothin’

If I’m left alone with assumptions

Don’t be mad how I function

(Ad-libs: “yeah…”, “don’t be mad”, “guess I cheat”, “mm”)

⸻

Verse 1

I tried to be patient, tried to be cool

Tried not to listen to the voices in the room

Every time I reach, you pull away

Every night I’m here, you somewhere else mentally

You say you tired, say you stressed

Say it ain’t me, but you distant, yeah

So I fill the space with bad decisions

Lonely heart in a bad position

(Ad-libs: “talk to me”, “where you at?”, “don’t shut me out”)

⸻

Pre-Hook

I ain’t proud of it

But I ain’t the only one at fault for it

If love was present, I’d be holdin’ it

But it’s empty when I go to bed

⸻

Hook (Repeat)

You outta commission, guess the line went dead

Ain’t no communication in the bed we share

You say it ain’t you, tryna blame instead

So I cheat, cheat… guess I cheat

You wanna put the blame on somethin’

When the love went cold for nothin’

If I’m left alone with assumptions

Don’t be mad how I function

⸻

Verse 2

I know this ain’t right, I know this ain’t clean

But neglect make a monster outta me

You don’t touch, don’t ask, don’t check for me

So I found attention accidentally

Now you askin’ why I changed up

Why my phone stay face down

You don’t notice till it’s too late

Now I’m wrong but you played too

(Ad-libs: “too late”, “where were you?”, “be honest”)

⸻

Bridge (Emotional Switch)

Maybe I should’ve walked away

Maybe I should’ve said more

But silence louder than words you don’t say

And I been knockin’ on a closed door

I ain’t sayin’ I’m innocent

I’m sayin’ this pain got fingerprints

If we both stopped showin’ love

Why I gotta take the sentence?

⸻

Hook (Last – Stripped then Full)

(Half beat)

You outta commission, guess the line went dead…

(Beat drops back in)

So I cheat, cheat… guess I cheat

You wanna put the blame on somethin’

When the love went cold for nothin’

If I’m left alone with assumptions

Don’t be mad how I function

⸻

Outro

Yeah…

Ain’t excuses, just the truth

Silence make strangers outta two

Guess I cheat…

(Fade ad-libs: “mm”, “guess I cheat”, “don’t shut me out”)
