Lyrics

[Intro - distant pads, muted 808 pulse, airy autotune, wounded late-night vibe]
Yeah, yeah
I gave you everything I had
Still got treated like I was the one
Mm

[Verse 1 - sparse piano, sliding 808s, soft melodic rap flow, cold and reflective]
I was out here tryna prove my love in every little way
You kept reading all my silence like I’m sneakin’ out to play
I do the things you asked for, still it’s never enough
You turn my effort into dirt, then call my loyalty a bluff
Bring up what I did before like it happened yesterday
I been tryna change my ways, but you won’t let that fade away
And I ain’t sayin’ I was perfect, I know I did you wrong
But I been steady in the present while you keep the pain prolongin’
When I’m not around, you movin’ different, hittin’ up the ones you knew
Then act like it don’t mean a thing, like it’s okay for you to do
But if I even look too long, I’m the villain in the frame
Double standards in your mouth, but I’m the one you put to shame

[Pre-Chorus - tension rising, layered harmonies, darker synth swell]
You want faith without the same trust back
Want me chained while you still off-track
Say you loyal when the truth don’t match
I can’t keep bleeding for a love like that

[Chorus - full drums, heavy 808s, emotional melodic hook, wide harmonies]
So I’m blockin’ your line, I’m leavin’ it behind
I gave you my all, but you played with my mind
You want me to stay while you cross every line
Nah, I’m done with the lies, I’m done with the fight
You don’t get to call it love if it only hurts me
I was holdin’ on too long, now I’m finally free
I’m takin’ my heart back, no more you and me
Block, delete, move on, let it be

[Verse 2 - colder flow, minimal keys, crisp hi-hats, confessional and bitter]
You was textin’ other niggas when we was on the edge
Smilin’ in they faces while you knew what we just said
And I let a lot slide ‘cause I was tryna make it work
But you keep on makin’ me the one who always wears the dirt
You lie about your motives, say it’s “just attention”
But if I did the same, you’d be shoutin’ for attention
That ain’t love, that’s control with a pretty little disguise
Tryna keep me in a box while you been runnin’ both sides
I’m exhausted from the circle, from the pain and from the doubt
From the way you twist the story every time we talk it out
I’m not perfect, I admit it, but I’m done with all the spite
You don’t get to keep me guilty just because you fear the light

[Bridge - stripped back, atmospheric pads, emotional vocal runs, vulnerable but resolute]
I prayed for us in private
You made me feel divided
But I can’t keep survivin’
In a love that’s built on lying
So I’m lettin’ go tonight
Yeah, I’m lettin’ go tonight

[Chorus - bigger drums, layered ad-libs, cathartic and anthemic]
So I’m blockin’ your line, I’m leavin’ it behind
I gave you my all, but you played with my mind
You want me to stay while you cross every line
Nah, I’m done with the lies, I’m done with the fight
You don’t get to call it love if it only hurts me
I was holdin’ on too long, now I’m finally free
I’m takin’ my heart back, no more you and me
Block, delete, move on, let it be

[Outro - fading reverb, distant vocal ad-libs, bleak but healing]
Block, delete
I’m movin’ on
You had your chance
Now I’m gone
