Last call

(Verse 1)
I been biting my tongue till it’s bleeding through my pride
Smile in my face but I see it in your eyes
All that fake love got a bitter aftertaste
Say you got my back but you switching every day
I been holding all this weight in my chest
Every “you’re trippin’” got me second-guessin’ stress
Like I’m crazy for reactin’ to the lies
But the truth don’t hide, it just waits in disguise
You say you know me, nah you know what I show
You don’t feel what I feel when I’m losing control
Every promise turn smoke when it’s time to be real
Now I’m standing on the edge like “is this how it feel?”
(PRE-HOOK)
Talk, talk, but it’s never what it seems
All that silence louder than your screams
I been drowning in between
What you say and what you mean
(HOOK)
I’m on the edge, don’t push me
One more lie and you lose me
All that pain built up inside
Now it’s breaking, I can’t hide
No respect, no truth, no trust
All this weight about to bust
If I walk, I ain’t looking back
This time,.... this time,.... will be the last
(Verse 2)
Validation? Nah, I never got a drop
Just criticism every time I try to talk
You dismiss it like my voice don’t exist
Now I’m screaming every word that you missed
You gaslight, twist it, flip it like a script
Got me questioning reality and shit
But I see it now, yeah the fog done cleared
All the truth I avoided now loud in my ears
I gave chances like they grow on trees
You took advantage like it’s nothing to me
Now I’m cold with it, heart locked tight
No more begging just to be treated right
(BRIDGE — slow it down)
I don’t hate you… I just see you clear
That illusion disappeared right here
All the love that I gave for free
Cost my peace… now I’m taking me
(HOOK)
I’m on the edge, don’t push me
One more lie and you lose me
All that pain built up inside
Now it’s breaking, I can’t hide
No respect, no truth, no trust
All this weight about to bust
If I walk, I ain’t looking back
This time,..... this time, ....will be the last
(OUTRO — raw, almost spoken)
You said you knew me…
Nah… you knew the version that stayed quiet
That version gone
This me now… and I’m done being silent
