[Intro]
Yeah — let me tell you how it goes
Missed calls at 2AM, hoodie on the floor
You folded, I bounced, uh
Backslide? Not tonight
[Verse 1]
Cold couch, phone light, ghosted me outta sight
Left my last cigarette on the tile, watched the smoke bite
You packed up like thunder, no reason, no fight
Left a voicemail that never played, silence in the pipe
Bench at the park where we used to crash and rewind
Your laughter in my head but your number stayed blind
Empty group chat, last seen at midnight
You disappeared — left me stitching up my pride
[Pre-Chorus]
I counted missed calls, one, two, three, faded blue
You come around like summer rain but you never stayed true
I flipped the script, new kicks, new view
You think I’m the same — nah, I grew
[Chorus]
I bounced when you folded — backslide? Not tonight
You left me on read in the rain, now watch me take flight
I’m shining past your reach, bright like neon light
Backslide? Not tonight — I’m too high, too right
Backslide? Not tonight, I’m on my own flight
[Verse 2]
Used to trade secrets on rooftops, smoke and cheap wine
You left the hoodie on the floor like we were out of time
Two AM texts, blue ticks that never reply
Now you’re at my door with a smile and a lie
I put pain in the verses, poured truth in the lines
Turned the cold nights to gold nights, now watch how I climb
No resentment, just rhythm and a swagger refined
You missed the race — I won my lane, crossed the finish line
[Pre-Chorus]
Saw your shadow in the mirror, thought I’d crack, thought I’d fold
But I learned how to burn slow, turn hurt into gold
Your comeback’s a cameo in the story I told
You’re late to the show — the lights already sold
[Chorus]
I bounced when you folded — backslide? Not tonight
You left me on read in the rain, now watch me take flight
I’m shining past your reach, bright like neon light
Backslide? Not tonight — I’m too high, too right
Backslide? Not tonight, I’m on my own flight
[Bridge — vulnerability peek]
Yeah, I’ll admit — some nights I replay the old songs
Sit on that same bench, feel small where I belong
Sometimes I miss the noise, the jokes that turned wrong
But missing you’s a lesson — I learned where I’m strong
[Post-Bridge — snap back]
So save your apologies, your “I’m sorry” lines
I carved my peace from the nights you declined
You can stand outside while I redefine
My heart’s closed for business, success in my sign
[Chorus — Final]
I bounced when you folded — backslide? Not tonight
You left me on read in the rain, now watch me take flight
I’m shining past your reach, bright like neon light
Backslide? Not tonight — I’m too high, too right
Backslide? Not tonight, I’m on my own flight
[Outro]
No rewind, no do-over, no second try
I bounced when you folded — backslide? Not tonight
Hoodie in the closet, bench in my past life
I’m up, I’m alive — backslide? Not tonight
