Genre: R&B pop? Idrk, help. I could change my mind lmao. Plz, idk-

This is like one of my worst songs I've ever written, but it's vocally fun to sing. It relies on hearing me sing it, not reading the lyrics. Like it soulfully hits different heard, not read. It's also just fun to sing in general, like boo hoo, you can't have me now. 


1ST VERSE:

Ain't it funny? How it all worked out

You say you're in love with me now

As lovely as it sounds

Actually, you're a tad too late now

You see, I ain't seventeen like I used to be

So I can't help but to turn you down

I'm not to blame that you're reaching out late

We could've had it all, take this as a wake up call

Are you awake now?


PRE-CHORUS:

I bet it's 3 am and you can't help but to give me a thought

Until the sun rises, except I was your sunshine

That's when you come to realize it

That a love like mine is hard to find

All I ought to say is better luck next time

( *spoken* Except there won't be a next time haha )

( S/N: The haha is laughed obviously, not literally 'haha' )


CHORUS:

So tell me how's it feel

Falling head over heels

For someone you can't have

3 years you can't retract

This feeling; it's surreal

Could've been the real deal

Don't think I'll come running back

Cause I ain't coming back no more

What we could've had was shipped and sealed

Go ahead and mourn over that


POST-CHORUS:

And tell me how's it feel

Now you know how it feels

Tell me how it feels

How does it feel?


2ND VERSE:

Don't act so oblivious, when you started it

Struck a match, fire lit

But never came back to conspire it


PRE-CHORUS:

I bet it's 3 am and you can stop thinking 'bout my songs

Reminiscing about us, but it's a lost cause

The gate to that is locked

You're a little too late

That love decayed away in a cage

And you never were saving face, babe


*BRIDGE WAS NEVER WRITTEN* 

I bet it's 3 am and you can't sleep in peace

Without dreaming of me

( I'll complete it someday...  surely Not Today :D I'M SUPPOSED TO BE STUDYING BRO )


CHORUS:

So tell me how's it feel

Falling head over heels

For someone you can't have

3 years you can't retract

This feeling; it's surreal

Could've been the real deal

Don't think I'll come running back

Cause I ain't coming back no more

What we could've had was shipped and sealed

Go ahead and mourn over that


OUTRO:

Cause I ain't coming back

No, I ain't coming back no more
