“House Arrest Heart”

🔹 [INTRO – Spoken, low reverb, light rain FX]

(Moody Loe)

“Same love… different cell.

How I’m supposed to heal when I still move like I’m guilty?”

(beat drops in slow)

⸻

🔹 [HOOK] (moody, mid-register melody, doubled vocals)

I love you from a distance, babe, I’m stuck in this position

Heart on house arrest, still facin’ all these convictions

If love a sentence, then you my co-defendant

But I been known to ghost before the ending

Can’t blame you if you leave, I barely show affection

I move like I’m hidin’ weapons

Even when I’m holdin’ you, I’m still second guessin’

That’s not you — that’s me, still stuck in corrections

⸻

🔹 [VERSE 1] (melodic with light rap cadence in lines 3–6)

I came from silence, gunshots, and handcuffs

Now you want pillow talk and slow trust

But how I give my heart when it’s monitored for movement?

Love feel like probation — too many rules to do it

I flinch when you call me “safe” — I never been that

When I hear “I miss you,” I start reachin’ where the beam at

Ain’t no comfort in my chest, just alarms and escape routes

You want to build a home, I still sleep with my boots

You askin’ for truth, but I’m redacted by pain

Every time I get close, I black out like my name

If my heart had a record, it’d say: “No contact”

But I text you anyway, hopin’ you write back

⸻

🔹 [HOOK – Repeat with adlib layers & harmonies]

I love you from a distance, babe, I’m stuck in this position

Heart on house arrest, still facin’ all these convictions

If love a sentence, then you my co-defendant

But I been known to ghost before the ending

Can’t blame you if you leave, I barely show affection

I move like I’m hidin’ weapons

Even when I’m holdin’ you, I’m still second guessin’

That’s not you — that’s me, still stuck in corrections

⸻

🔹 [VERSE 2] (slightly softer delivery, falsetto on last bar of each couplet)

You in the kitchen talkin’ dreams over wine

I’m by the window makin’ sure the blinds still align

You dream ’bout kids, I dream ’bout bail

You speak “forever,” I think “what if I fail?”

You want soft touches, I got scarred knuckles

You want late cuddles, I’m still watchin’ for trouble

You see a sunset, I see a clear vantage

You hear “I love you,” I hear “you can’t manage”

Don’t take it personal — I’m stuck in my frame

Been breakin’ outta chains so long I forgot my name

I want what you want, but my love got rules

And every time I bend ’em, I feel like a fool

⸻

🔹 [BRIDGE – Sung with light echo]

No soy libre… I’m locked inside

Pero tú… tú got that look that make me try

But I lie, I lie — just to keep you safe from me

I want love, but I move like a felony

⸻

🔹 [FINAL HOOK – Full harmonies, extended last bar]

I love you from a distance, babe, I’m stuck in this position

Heart on house arrest, still facin’ all these convictions

If love a sentence, then you my co-defendant

But I been known to ghost before the ending

Can’t blame you if you leave, I barely show affection

I move like I’m hidin’ weapons

Even when I’m holdin’ you, I’m s
