[Intro – Falsetto echo w/ layered ad-libs] (whispered falsetto & soft moans) Mmm… uh uh… yuh yuh yuh yuh… Mind playin’ tricks on meee, yeahhh… Ahh huhh… wooo woo… I’m losin’ it… (ad-lib: “I can’t tell what’s real no more…”) ⸻ [Verse 1 – Smooth entry, emotionally sung] I’ve been sittin’ in the silence way too long (mmm yeah) Feelin’ like I’m here but somethin’s gone (oh no) Every word you said still echoin’ inside (inside) I swear I saw you in my dream last night (ad-lib: “Or was it just meeee?”) (run: “Oooohhhh, can’t trust my minddd”) I’m hearin’ voices that don’t talk back Feelin’ your touch but you ain’t come back Is this pain or is it just my fear? Girl, are you gone or still in here? ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Build tension with falsetto harmony] My heart say “run”, my mind say “stay” (say stayyy) I’m tryna move on, but you in the way (woo woo) I don’t know what’s wrong with me, oohh no You got me stuck in memory… (vocal run: “In memoorrryyyyyy…”) (ad-lib: “Losing track of time… of truth… of me…”) ⸻ [Chorus – Full falsetto & layered vocals] My mind playin’ games on me (yeah yeahhh) Got me thinkin’ you still here, but you ain’t been in weeks (umm umm) Ahhh haaa… wooo woo… can’t breathe, can’t speak Feelin’ like I’m drownin’ in my own dreams Ohh girl, you’re gone, but your ghost won’t leave Every mirror just reflectin’ meee (meeeee) And I can’t escape what I can’t seeee Mind games… mind games… (yeah yeah yeah) You still messin’ with meeee (ad-lib run: “With meeeeeeeee yeahh yeahh”) ⸻ [Verse 2 – Rap-Sing blend, emotional breakdown] Caught up in these loops like a record broke (broke) Rewindin’ every “I love you” you spoke Got me second guessin’ reality Is it love or just insanity? (ad-lib: “Yuh… got me twisted… mmmhmm”) (run: “Can’t undo what you did to meeee”) I try to trust what I feel inside But the lines get blurred when the truth can hide I’m losin’ sleep and losin’ time Girl, I swear I’m losin’ my mind… ⸻ [Bridge – stripped back, piano & soft harmonies] Don’t know if it’s love or trauma… You said forever, then disappeared like karma Now I’m stuck with echoes in my brain… Guess heartbreak never leaves the same… (vocal run: “Ohhh nooooooo…”) (ad-lib: “It’s killin’ me slow…”) ⸻ [Final Chorus – Full-out vocal climax] Mind playin’ games on meeee (yuhh yuhh) You’re a ghost that I still feel in my sheets (ahhh haaa) Umm umm, woo woo, it’s deep, it’s deep (it’s deeeeep) I’m trapped in your silence, no release Yeahh you’re gone, but your shadow won’t fade I scream your name but I’m lost in space (wooo woo) I don’t know what’s real or fake (real or fake) Mind games, mind games… baby, give me a break (high run: “Braaaakeeeee”) (ad-lib fade: “You still in me… can’t set me free…”) ⸻ [Outro – Whispered falsetto, piano fades] Umm umm… yeah… wooo woo… Ahh haaa… still playin’ in my head… You gone, but you still here… yeah…
