[Intro : Acoustic guitar fingerpicking] [Verse 1: Lead vocal - deep, spoken-melodic rap] Yo… I got your letters, every line that you wrote, I just didn’t know what to say, so I left ’em in my coat. Ain’t like I’m tryna ghost you or pretend you don’t exist, I’ve just been fighting with my head and I ain’t winning that shit. [Verse 2: Duet begins softly - call and response feel] Lead: I saw the way you’re hurting, yeah, I read between the lines, Support: Didn’t mean to leave you hanging while you’re checking all the time. Lead: I ain’t laughing in those pictures, that’s a mask that I wear, Support: ’Cause it’s easier to smile than admit I wasn’t there. [Verse 3: Full emotional duet with light drums and pad] Lead & Support: You drove past my street? Damn… I didn’t know it got that deep, Didn’t know you talk to empty seats like I’m still in the beat. I ain’t trying to be your sentence or the reason that you drown, I just needed space to breathe before I dragged you down. But listen — I’m here now, I ain’t running from the truth, I’m sorry that my silence made a weapon out of you. If goodbye’s what you need, I won’t stand in your way, But I swear I never meant to make you feel this way. [Outro : Solo acoustic guitar with final softly sung line together] I swear I never meant to make you feel this way.
