Cost me myself

0:00–0:16 — Intro | Distant synths, muffled vocals, soft bass

Yeah, yeah...

You know I still think about that shit sometimes...

Crazy...

Mm, yeah... [0:16–0:46 — Verse 1 | Smooth melodic rap, intimate delivery] You had me staying up till sunrise

Phone on my chest, hearing your voice all night

You had a way of making wrong feel right

Had me thinking you were different this time

Late nights, downtown, you was riding with me

Windows all tinted, you was hiding with me

Used to say you couldn't stand being apart

Now you moving like you never had a heart

And I gave you all the shit I couldn't give nobody

You had me falling, I ain't thinking 'bout nobody

We were moving like the world was ours

Now I hate driving past those same old spots

0:46–1:08 — Pre-Chorus | Airy singing, drums soften

And I saw you looking at him

You ain't even try to hide it

You thought I wouldn't notice

Girl, you know I wasn't blinded

He had money, I had time

Guess that wasn't worth your mind

You was sleeping next to me

While you had somebody on the side

1:08–1:34 — Chorus | Catchy emotional singing

You cost me myself, girl

Had me going through hell, girl

I gave you something real

You gave that shit to somebody else

You say you love me, don't lie

You couldn't even look in my eyes

Now I'm up thinking 'bout you

While you're sleeping good tonight

Oh, oh, yeah...

1:34–1:42 — Instrumental break | Reversed synth, deep 808 enters, slow trap percussion

Yeah...

I should've walked away...

1:42–2:12 — Verse 2 | Cold melodic rap, restrained anger

I knew the whole time, I just kept it quiet

You were out with him, I wasn't even surprised

Had my heart on the line, you was playing both sides

I was tryna find a reason just to keep you in my life

Then you hit my phone while I'm working late

Said you're sorry, said you gotta walk away

I was staring at the screen like, what the fuck?

All them nights together, that was all it took?

Then you went ghost, couldn't get a reply

Left me with a thousand questions on my mind

I ain't even gonna lie, that shit broke me

Had to learn to live without the old me

2:12–2:39 — Bridge | Soft singing, sparse piano, layered harmonies

I spent months tryna find myself

Looking for a reason in somebody else

And I hate that you still cross my mind

Even after all this fucking time

I got my life back, got my peace back

I don't need your love, you can keep that

But sometimes when the night's too quiet

I remember how it felt when you were mine

2:39–3:01 — Final Chorus | Emotional layered vocals

You cost me myself, girl

Had me going through hell, girl

I gave you something real

You gave that shit to somebody else

And I ain't saying I still need you

I ain't saying I forgive you

But there's a part of me that misses

Who I was before I met you

3:01–3:10 — Outro | Instrumental fades, intimate vocals

It's been a year now...

I found myself again...

But that shit still stings nigha...

Yeah...
