Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You keep your phone face down
Laugh when it light up late
Say it’s “just a friend from town”
But your pupils give you away
You take the long way home
Smell like a room I’ve never seen
You wash your hands too long
Like you scrubbing off a scene
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s all in my head
But you flinch when I touch your neck
You got his ghost in every breath
I don’t need proof, I read the rest (yeah)
[Chorus]
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
I feel their fingerprints, all in the air
In every pause, every stare you won’t share
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
You changed the way you hold me, like I’m a spare
Your love got shadows sitting in my chair
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
To know you don’t
[Verse 2]
You turn your body away
When I’m pouring out my day
You used to hang on every word
Now you’re scrolling while I pray
You dress up when I stay in
Laugh louder when you leave
You say you’re out with your “girls”
But your perfume screams “he”
[Pre-Chorus]
You call me crazy again
But your smile’s a practiced line
There’s someone living in your head
Paying rent with all my time (time)
[Chorus]
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
I feel their fingerprints, all in the air
In every pause, every stare you won’t share
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
You changed the way you hold me, like I’m a spare
Your love got shadows sitting in my chair
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
To know you don’t
[Bridge]
You say, “Baby, trust me” (trust me)
But your voice comes out rehearsed
Every “I love you” lately
Sound like you saying it first to him
I’m sleeping on the edge now
Of a bed that used to fit
If your heart had nothing hidden
Why you guarding it like this? (like this)
[Chorus]
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
I feel their fingerprints, all in the air
In every pause, every stare you won’t share
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
You changed the way you hold me, like I’m a spare
Your love got shadows sitting in my chair
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
To know you don’t care
You keep your phone face down
Laugh when it light up late
Say it’s “just a friend from town”
But your pupils give you away
You take the long way home
Smell like a room I’ve never seen
You wash your hands too long
Like you scrubbing off a scene
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s all in my head
But you flinch when I touch your neck
You got his ghost in every breath
I don’t need proof, I read the rest (yeah)
[Chorus]
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
I feel their fingerprints, all in the air
In every pause, every stare you won’t share
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
You changed the way you hold me, like I’m a spare
Your love got shadows sitting in my chair
I don’t have to see them, to know they’re there
To know you don’t
[Verse 2]
You turn your body away
When I’m pouring out my day
You used to hang on every word
Now you’re scrolling while I pray

To know you don’t care
Style of Music
rap, Dark alternative R&B / trap-soul with raspy male vocals; smoky Rhodes chords over sparse sub-heavy drums, filtered synth pads, and distant pitched vocal chops. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, almost whispered confessions; chorus opens with wider reverb, stacked harmonies, and a heavier 808 swing. Occasional distorted ad-libs and reverse textures creep in as the tension rises toward a slightly deconstructed final hook., soul, alternative r&b, male vocals
