Middle of July

[Verse 1]
Middle of July
You were on my phone
Talkin' like it's ride or die
Laughin' at the stars on the dashboard lights
You were just a kid
But you swore you'd try
Said you want space
Then you hit me up
Tears runnin' down your face
"I don't wanna lose you
" same old phrase
I was tryna grow while you played those games
[Chorus]
Now my heart’s broke
But I'm finally breathin'
Lost
Then angry
Now I'm feelin' free again
You said you love me
You ain’t know the meaning
Middle of July still plays in my head
Yeah
My heart’s broke
But I’m done with the bleedin’
You were a storm I mistook for a weekend
You said you love me
Now I’m done believin’
Middle of July
I’m leavin’ it dead (I’m leavin’ it dead)
[Verse 2]
You were so stuck
Scrollin’ through the drama like it’s real love
Postin' every fight just to feel tough
Turnin' every wound into made-up stuff
I gave you my time
You gave me your pride and a crooked line
"Baby
I'll change" for the second time
Now I just laugh when you cross my mind (yeah)
[Chorus]
Now my heart’s broke
But I'm finally breathin'
Lost
Then angry
Now I'm feelin' free again
You said you love me
You ain’t know the meaning
Middle of July still plays in my head
Yeah
My heart’s broke
But I’m done with the bleedin’
You were a storm I mistook for a weekend
You said you love me
Now I’m done believin’
Middle of July
I’m leavin’ it dead (I’m leavin’ it dead)
[Bridge]
Late nights
Headlights
Talkin' 'bout a future
You were just a phase
I was lookin' for a cure yeah (hey)
Lost then angry
Now I toast to the truth
Middle of July was the end of me and you
[Chorus]
Now my heart’s broke
But I'm finally breathin'
Lost
Then angry
Now I'm feelin' free again
You said you love me
You ain’t know the meaning
Middle of July still plays in my head
Yeah
My heart’s broke
But I’m done with the bleedin’
You were a storm I mistook for a weekend
You said you love me
Now I’m done believin’
Middle of July
I’m leavin’ it dead
Yeah

Moody melodic pop-rap in the vein of chart-topping emo trap: sparse guitar loop and filtered keys, tight 2-step drums, warm sub, and glossy male vocals that slip between rap and melody. Verses stay intimate and confessional; chorus explodes with layered hooks and a lifted top line. Subtle vocoder doubles and distant crowd chants in the final chorus for a bittersweet, triumphant feel.
