Different When It’s Over

Yeah…

Funny how somebody can feel like everything…

Then one day you wake up…

And don’t recognize ’em anymore.

Ayy…

I remember late nights riding with nowhere to go,

You beside me looking good while the music played low.

I was thinking long-term, you were living for tonight,

But I couldn’t see the difference with you sitting by my side.

Used to cancel all my plans just to give you my time,

Every little thing about you stayed stuck on my mind.

Thought I finally found somebody moving just like me,

Someone I could build with, someone I could really believe.

Then the calls got shorter and the stories didn’t match,

Every time I pulled away, somehow you pulled me back.

I kept calling it love when it was messing with my soul,

Sometimes the one you want ain’t the one you need to hold.

And I can’t explain it…

How something that felt so right went wrong.

But this feels different…

‘Cause this time when I leave, I’m gone.

You hit different when it’s over,

When the love ain’t making you blind.

I can finally see the woman

I was defending all that time.

You hit different when it’s over,

Now your games don’t work on me.

I thought losing you would break me—

Girl, losing you set me free.

How many nights you left me hanging, waiting on a call?

How many times I picked you up whenever you would fall?

I gave you consistency, you gave me maybe and might,

Then acted like I’m doing too much for wanting you right.

You loved attention more than you ever loved peace,

Always needed somebody looking whenever I couldn’t be.

I ain’t saying I was perfect, I can own what I did,

But I never made you wonder if you mattered like this.

Now somebody else can chase what I was chasing before,

I ain’t standing outside knocking on a locked door.

I don’t need another answer, don’t explain what I know,

Sometimes loving yourself means knowing when to let go.

Don’t call me at two in the morning…

Don’t tell me you finally changed.

Don’t say you didn’t know what you had…

You knew.

You just thought I’d always stay.

You hit different when it’s over,

When the love ain’t making you blind.

I can finally see the woman

I was defending all that time.

You hit different when it’s over,

And I’m good with what I see.

I thought losing you would break me—

Girl, losing you gave me me.

Yeah…

I thought you were different.

Turns out…

I needed to be different.

You hit different when it’s over,

When the love ain’t making you blind.

I can finally see the woman

I was defending all that time.

You hit different when it’s over,

Now your games don’t work on me.

I thought losing you would break me—

Girl, losing you set me free.

You hit different when it’s over,

When the love ain’t making you blind.

I can finally see the woman

I was defending all that time.

You hit different when it’s over,

Now your games don’t work on me.

I thought losing you would break me—

Girl, losing you set me free.
