Yeah…
You thought the silence was free, huh?
Nah… it cost me everything
Tick-tock… your turn comin’

I gave you summer in December, you gave me frostbite
Took my peace as deposit then ghosted overnight
I still smell your perfume in the vents of my ride
Like you never really left, just switched to the other side
I deleted every pic but the memories screenshot
Got a whole archive of pain I can’t Ctrl+Alt+Delete, nah
You said forever then you pulled a Houdini on the lease
Now my heart got eviction papers and no place to sleep
I built thrones out of trust, you turned ‘em to kindling
Lit the match with “I’m confused,” watched the whole thing dwindling
Still got your voice saved in voice notes, last one dated June
Play it when I’m drunk just to hear how love used to sound

One day you gon’ call me at 3:47 AM
Voice crackin’, pride in pieces, tears hittin’ the stem
You gon’ whisper through the static, voice barely your own
“Forgive me… don’t leave me alone”
Yeah, you gon’ say it
“Forgive me… don’t leave me alone”

I’m out here dodgin’ your shadow in every club light
See your silhouette in strangers, get sick every night
Therapy said release it, but release it where?
This pain got roots deeper than my grandfather’s prayer
You moved on to new chapters, new fits, new glow
I’m still tryna solve the case of why you had to go
Left me with questions sharper than switchblade edges
And a playlist full of songs that sound like grudges
I told God I was done, but He know I’m cappin’
‘Cause I still check your story while the pain keep snappin’
You out here livin’ lavish, I’m just survivin’ the math
Tryna subtract you from me but the answer keep comin’ back

One day your phone gon’ feel heavier than your lies
You gon’ scroll to my name with tears in your eyes
Middle of the night, no pride left to hold
“Forgive me… don’t leave me alone”
Yeah, I heard you
“Forgive me… don’t leave me alone”

Funny how the one who ran
Ends up the one who’s stranded
The one who said “I’m good”
Ends up the one who panicked
You thought I’d wait forever
Like loyalty got no statute
But clocks keep spinnin’, baby
And karma don’t do no tattoos

When the new love fade and the mask start slippin’
When the late night hits and the truth start drippin’
When your mirror show a stranger and the silence is loud
You gon’ reach for the phone and scream it out loud
“Forgive me… don’t leave me alone!”
“Forgive me… I was wrong!”
“Forgive me… I can’t do this shit on my own!”
But the line gon’ keep ringin’…
‘Cause I finally found my way home

…without you.
