About

A bittersweet pop song about recognizing old patterns, warning yourself too late, and choosing self-respect over déjà vu.

Lyrics

Verse 1 – Clean Electric Guitar + Soft Kick

I could swear I know your tells

Every lie you never sell

Standing tall behind your shine

I’m on the curb, you’re doing fine

Yeah

Watching through your tinted grin

Acting like you didn’t win

Laughing like it doesn’t sting

Guess that’s how your story spins

Pre-Chorus – Bass Pulse + Snaps

Now it’s clear, crystal sharp

I connect the missing parts

Should I speak or let it burn?

Maybe someone needs to learn

Chorus – Full Pop Drums + Synth Chords

Ooh

Bet you’re saying, “She’s a dream”

Feet up on your hand-me-down seat

Trading glances, soft and sweet

Funny how familiar it seems

Ooh

Yeah, you’re thinking, “She’s brand new”

But I know the pattern you use

I’ve been her, I’ve been through

Guess I’m déjà vu to you

Verse 2 – Muted Guitar + Hi-Hats

What’d she say to pull you close?

Played it shy or overdosed?

Brushed her fingers down your arm

Like it wasn’t rehearsed charm

Once or twice, yeah, maybe more

I remember that encore

I should leave, I should behave

But I’m not that far along the brave

Pre-Chorus – Bass Drop + Backing Vox

Hope she sees it faster than me

Hope she lands somewhere free

Not my lane, not my call

Still feels bad letting silence fall

Chorus – Full Pop Drums + Synth Chords

Ooh

Bet you’re saying, “She’s so cool”

Spilling secrets, breaking rules

Lighting up the room for you

Yeah, I’ve worn that costume too

Ooh

Now I’m thinking, “She’s okay”

But I know how this will play

You’re not rare, you’re just the same

Just another borrowed flame

Bridge – Piano + Atmospheric Pads

I walked out breathing, barely whole

Left my name on every ghost

Called it strength, called it grace

Said I healed, then saw your face

Buttons off, earrings gone

Tell me I’m already wrong

Stay the night, test the truth

Watch the ceiling talk to you

Final Chorus – Open Drums + Layered Vocals

Ooh

Bet you’re saying, “She’s the one”

Til the quiet hits too strong

Til the thrill is overdone

And you’re onto someone else again

Ooh

Yeah, you’re thinking, “She’s so real”

But I know how endings feel

I survived, that’s the deal

Still, the scar reminds me

Outro – Fading Synth + Reverb Guitar

Ooh, yeah

Seen this scene before

Ooh

That’s so you
