Stitches on My Sneakers

[Verse 1]
New scars on my phone screen
Name blocked, but the texts still sting
Black hoodie on in the high noon heat
Headphones loud just to hear my heartbeat
Half-smoked pack in the console
Friends at the party but I ghost those
Ride past your street, let the gas run low
Tell myself "leave it," then I circle, though
[Chorus]
Got stitches on my sneakers, from running back to you
Every mile, every detour, I tear ’em back in two
You say "we’re bad for each other"
I say "what else is new?" (what else is new?)
Got stitches on my sneakers
But they still chase you
[Verse 2]
Missed calls on the cracked glass
Your face in a story that I scroll past
You’re laughing like you never left a bruise
I’m laughing like I ever had a choice to choose
Cheap cologne in your old sweatshirt
I wear it when the chest pains hurt
Play tough, but the mirror don’t buy it
Eyes red, but I still deny it (yeah)
[Chorus]
Got stitches on my sneakers, from running back to you
Every mile, every detour, I tear ’em back in two
You say "we’re bad for each other"
I say "what else is new?" (what else is new?)
Got stitches on my sneakers
But they still chase you
[Bridge]
Why do I beg for the burn?
Why do I never learn? (never learn)
You pull the thread, I come undone
Guess I’m addicted to the run
[Chorus]
Got stitches on my sneakers, from running back to you
Every mile, every detour, I tear ’em back in two
You say "we’re bad for each other"
I say "what else is new?" (what else is new?)
Got stitches on my sneakers
But they still chase you
Yeah, they still chase you (oh)
And I still chase you

rap, Hybrid of moody trap and emo rap with distorted alternative rock guitars; halftime drums and deep bass under melodic male vocals that drift between rapping and singing. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, hook explodes with wide guitars, layered harmonies, and a soaring top line. Sparse, echoing keys in the bridge, then everything slams back in for a final, cathartic chorus., hip hop, alternative rock, emo
