Not Who You Think

Verse 1

You check my phone like there’s secrets in the glow

Asking names I don’t even know

You say you see shadows where I stand

But you’re fighting ghosts, not another man

You say I’m smiling like I’m hiding something

Like I’ve got a lineup waiting on me

But baby, what you’re jealous of

Is the chaos I don’t talk about enough

Pre-Chorus

They don’t touch me

They don’t call

They just show up

When it’s quiet, when it’s dark, when I fall

Chorus

You think I got hoes, yeah, you swear it’s true

But the hoes are the voices I’m fighting through

They don’t love me, they don’t stay

They just live in my head every day

You say I’m cheating, say I’m out of line

But I’m loyal to you, just losing my mind

If you’re scared of what you see

Baby, those hoes ain’t real — they’re haunting me

Verse 2

I laugh it off so you don’t worry

Turn pain into something blurry

You think distance means I’m drifting away

But I’m just trying to survive another day

You say “who were you talking to just now?”

I say “no one,” and I mean it somehow

‘Cause the only ones pulling at my sleeve

Are the things in my head I don’t want you to see

Pre-Chorus

They don’t kiss me

They don’t care

They just whisper

When I’m tired, when I’m scared, when you’re not there

Chorus

You think I got hoes, yeah, you swear it’s true

But the hoes are the voices I’m fighting through

They don’t love me, they don’t stay

They just live in my head every day

You say I’m cheating, say I’m out of line

But I’m loyal to you, just losing my mind

If you’re scared of what you see

Baby, those hoes ain’t real — they’re haunting me

Bridge

I need you to trust me when I say

I’m not entertaining anyone else

I’m just at war with myself

Hold my hand when I space out

Don’t turn fear into a fallout

I don’t need a trial, I need a home

I don’t need blame, I need you close

Final Chorus / Outro

You think I got hoes, but it’s not that deep

It’s just things I see when I don’t sleep

I choose you in the noise, in the doubt

Even when my mind is loud

So if I’m distant, if I break

Don’t assume my love is fake

I’m not cheating, I’m just trying to breathe

Those hoes ain’t real — they’re haunting me
