won't bully a soul
[Verse 1 - The Quiet Start] (Just a piano or soft guitar) I’ll leave you be, I’m clearing out the track, I’ve never been the one to beg for a feeling back. We had a spark, I thought I saw a neon sign, But you’re a fading light and I’m just wasting time. I won’t bully a soul into liking me, That’s not the way I’m meant to be. I truly enjoyed the hours that we spent, But I finally see where your heart is bent. [Verse 2 - Adding Details] (A light drum beat starts) You said you were "separated," living in the grey, But you’re just a ghost in a Jerry Springer play. Why seek entertainment in a stranger’s mind, When you knew you’d leave the wreckage all behind? You answered the call, you knew the number was blocked, While the door to our future was being secretly locked. [Chorus - The Big Hook] (The music swells, full and melodic) And I was living in a state of ignorant bliss, Until I woke up to a moment like this. You crave the chaos and you long for the drama, But I’m heading for a life that’s empty of the trauma. I wanted the "possibly," the "maybe," the "we," To be intellectually naked with me. [Verse 3 - The Backstory] Ten years on my own, I built a fortress of stone, Then you came along and made me feel less alone. We talked for hours, even smiles about a shower, Then you wilted away like a mid-summer flower. It’s a stab, truly, that in less than a day, I’m forgotten, I’m locked out, and pushed far away. [The Bridge - The "Screaming" Moment] (This is where Taylor would go off—the music is loud and heavy) And now you’re stalking my Facebook, lurking on my TikTok! Are you regretting the way you let the clock stop? You say "I don’t know why I picked up the phone," But you’re terrified of being in a house that’s alone! I’m the Main Dish, honey, I was never your side, I won’t let you bury my soul or my pride! You’re too weak to make it about the kids in the end, Just another man with a "nut" to defend! I was naive, yeah, I believed in "both," But I’ll take this heartbeat and call it my growth! [Verse 4 - The Aftermath] (The music drops back down to just a soft beat) So log out of my life, get off of my page, I’m taking my heart off of your stage. The songs are out, the feedback’s in, I’m closing the book on where we’ve been. I wonder if she knows you're still looking at me, Through a glowing screen, while you pretend to be free. [Outro - The Lyrical Sting] (Fading out, very slow) Just ignorant bliss. Yeah, I’m okay, dude. I’m actually okay. I'm the main dish... and you’re just hungry. (The sound of a door clicking shut)
