Casket love

Title: “Casket Love”

(Intro – soft, shaky)

Yeah…

I was just a kid…

You really left me…

⸻

(Verse 1)

Five years old, standin’ by the door

Backpack on like you comin’ back for sure

I ain’t even cry, I ain’t understand

How you walk away from your own blood, your own hands

Mama in the other room breakin’ down slow

I was holdin’ tears, didn’t wanna let it show

I was just a baby, I ain’t ask for this

Just a little girl that you chose to miss

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I grew up too fast, had to play it strong

Taught myself love when you stayed gone

Every “why me?” turned into scars

Now I carry pain like it’s who I are

⸻

(Chorus – emotional, stretched notes)

My love and my trust come with a casket

Buried all the hurt, now you can’t have it

You walked away like it didn’t matter

Now I’m piecin’ up a heart that you shattered

Said I’d be nothin’, you were wrong, yeah

Turned all your silence to a song, yeah

Every tear I cried turned to passion

Now my love and trust come with a casket

⸻

(Rap Verse 1 – low, controlled anger)

Yeah…

You don’t know the nights I was cryin’ in the dark

Tryna find your face in every man, every spark

I was lookin’ for you in the wrong places

Broken little girl hidin’ pain in her faces

You ain’t see the birthdays, you ain’t hear the prayers

I was talkin’ to the ceiling like “Is he there?”

You was livin’ life like I ain’t exist

Now you callin’ me “daughter,” I don’t feel that—miss

Had to grow up with a hole in my chest

Turned love into fear, couldn’t trust my best

Now you tryna come around, say you proud of me

But where was that love when I needed you to breathe?

⸻

(Verse 2)

Now I see you clearer than I did back then

You ain’t lose me… you just chose not to stay in

And I carried that blame like it was mine

Like maybe I wasn’t enough in your eyes

But I was just five… I was just a kid

Tryna understand what I never did

To make you leave me like I meant nothin’

Still feel that pain when my heart start rushin’

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t cry the same, I just hold it in

Built these walls, won’t let nobody in

You made love feel like it don’t last

So I buried it deep in my past

⸻

(Chorus)

My love and my trust come with a casket

Buried all the hurt, now you can’t have it

You walked away like it didn’t matter

Now I’m piecin’ up a heart that you shattered

Said I’d be nothin’, you were wrong, yeah

Turned all your silence to a song, yeah

Every tear I cried turned to passion

Now my love and trust come with a casket

⸻

(Rap Verse 2 – more emotional, voice cracking energy)

Look…

I ain’t even hate you, I just needed you there

Every little girl need her daddy somewhere

I was scared, I was lost, I was breakin’ inside

But I learned real quick how to bury that cry

Now I flinch when somebody say they love me

‘Cause I’m waitin’ on the day they go above me

Or leave me, or switch like you did

Turn their back on the same little kid

You taught me love got a deadline

You taught me trust come with flatlines

So I keep my heart in a grave now

If they want it,
