After Midnight

(Hook – 18 bars)
It’s after midnight, I’m still in my head,
Lookin’ at the ceiling, replayin’ what you said.
Heart on E, but the tank still red,
Tears hit the floor like the words I left unread.
I been drinkin’ pain just to numb this feelin’,
Every scar on my heart still healin’.
I text your phone, then I start deletin’,
Talk to your ghost, but you never speakin’.
Now I’m lost in the silence again,
Tryna turn lovers back into friends.
Midnight thoughts, they don’t ever end,
Demons call my name like “come pretend.”
I don’t wanna wake up, dreams feel realer,
Pop one pill, I don’t feel like a sinner.
Fell for you fast, like a car with no brakes,
Now I’m drownin’ in the love I fake.

(Verse – 16 bars)
Pull up in a drop top, rain still pourin’,
Lookin’ at the sky like, “God, keep pourin’.”
All this pain got my mind distorin’,
Heart so cold, it could snow by mornin’.
You left your scent in my sweatshirt sleeve,
Now every breath I take just bleeds.
I know love kills, but I still believe,
Cuz your touch still haunts my dreams.
If I die tonight, will they sing my song?
Will you still cry when you hear what’s wrong?
I been chasin’ highs I can’t prolong,
Tryna right my past, but the pain too strong.
Voices in my head like a mixtape loop,
Every verse they play got me missin’ you.
And if I make it through this lonely night,
I’ll still be gone by the morning light.

⸻

(Hook – reprise)
It’s after midnight, I’m still in my head,
Lookin’ at the ceiling, replayin’ what you said.
Heart on E, but the tank still red,
Tears hit the floor like the words I left unread.
I been drinkin’ pain just to numb this feelin’,
Every scar on my heart still healin’.
