Don't Call It Closure

Intro

Mm

Don't call it closure

Don't do that

Verse 1

You left your charger by my bed

and half a Sprite inside the fridge

I kept your gray socks in the drawer

like you were coming back for them

You texted "hope you're doing good"

like that was supposed to clean the room

like I ain't sleep on just one side

for three whole weeks because of you

My friends said, "Don't reply"

I said, "I'm not," then lied

I typed a paragraph and watched

those little dots not come alive

Pre-Chorus

You don't get to leave slow

then act like you were kind

You don't get to hurt me

in a soft voice every time

Chorus

Don't call it closure

you just got tired of explaining

Don't say it's over

like I ain't watch you rearranging

All your stories, all your reasons

all the blame you put in seasons

You didn't heal me, you just folded

Don't call it closure

Verse 2

I saw your cousin at the store

she smiled like she knew too much

I bought the bread, forgot the eggs

then cried inside my Toyota

And I still know your coffee wrong

two creams, no sugar, extra hot

I hate that love can leave a stain

on stupid things you never bought

You said, "We needed time"

You meant you needed out

You wanted me to understand

without you saying it out loud

Pre-Chorus

You don't get to leave slow

then call yourself mature

You don't get to lock the door

and tell me it's a cure

Chorus

Don't call it closure

you just got tired of explaining

Don't say it's over

like I ain't watch you rearranging

All your stories, all your reasons

all the blame you put in seasons

You didn't heal me, you just folded

Don't call it closure

Post-Chorus

Don't call it peace

when you just stopped answering

Don't call it growth

when you grew away from me

Don't call it clean

when you left me holding

everything you couldn't be

Don't call it closure

Bridge

I'm not mad you left

I'm mad you made me ask

like I was slow for seeing cracks

you already had packed

I'm mad I made excuses

for your shoes beside my door

for the nights you kissed my forehead

then looked past me like a chore

I don't need a speech

I don't need one last coffee

I don't need your better version

showing up to say you're sorry

Just take your name out of my mouth

take your key off of my ring

I'll be fine, but don't you dare

try to name this for me

Final Chorus

Don't call it closure

you just got tired of explaining

Don't say it's over

like I ain't watch you rearranging

All your stories, all your reasons

all the blame you put in seasons

You didn't heal me, you just folded

Don't call it closure

Outro

Your charger's still here

I don't use that side

Your socks are still here

I'll throw them out tonight

Maybe

Maybe not tonight

But don't call it closure

Don't call it closure
