Lyrics
# “My Confessions”
[Verse 1]
Tell me when the whole thing changed
Started as friends, now it don’t feel the same
Tried keep cool, tried staying composed
But every little feeling kept getting exposed
I don’t catch feelings, I’m used to the cold
Seen too many switch when the pressure unfolds
So I kept you outside, never gave you the code
Then somehow you found every crack in my soul
I could lie, say it’s nothing, keep playing my role
But your name stays stuck when I’m out on the road
Heart stays guarded from things in the past
But you made me question how long that could last
[Chorus]
We could fall back, say it never got serious
Act like the tension between us ain’t obvious
Tell everybody that we’re only just friends
But we both know where that conversation ends
I don’t confess, keep feelings protected
Too many scars got my trust disconnected
But if I’m being real, you’re the one exception
You got the truth now — these are my confessions
[Verse 2]
I wasn’t gonna tell you, I’d rather stay quiet
Feelings get dangerous, love starts riots
Seen good hearts turn cold over trust
Seen forever get buried underneath all the dust
So I move careful, don’t show what I need
Don’t give anyone leverage, don’t let ’em read me
But you know when I’m angry, know when I’m stressed
Know when I say “I’m good” but I’m far from my best
You’re leaving this weekend, couldn’t let it slide
Could’ve kept my mouth shut, let the feeling just die
But I’d rather risk pride than be wondering why
I let the one real thing walk out of my life
[Chorus]
We could fall back, say it never got serious
Act like the tension between us ain’t obvious
Tell everybody that we’re only just friends
But we both know where that conversation ends
I don’t confess, keep feelings protected
Too many scars got my trust disconnected
But if I’m being real, you’re the one exception
You got the truth now — these are my confessions
[Verse 3]
Tell me straight, don’t sugarcoat nothing
If you don’t feel it, then tell me it’s nothing
I can take truth, I’ve survived much worse
Had love turn poison and loyalty curse
Walked through nights with nobody beside me
Learned real quick nobody’s coming to guide me
So if I choose you, understand what that means
I don’t give my heart out for temporary dreams
I’m not the type buying roses for show
I’m the type that stays when the whole world goes
When the pressure gets heavy and everything cracks
I’m still right there, I don’t turn my back
[Bridge]
If you’re riding with me, ride with intention
No halfway love, no divided attention
I don’t need perfect, just keep it authentic
Had enough fake, I can feel when I sense it
You saw the worst parts, never used ’em against me
Stayed when my own thoughts were trying to wreck me
That’s why these words go deeper than affection
You’re hearing the truth in every confession
[Final Chorus]
We could fall back, say it never got serious
Act like the tension between us ain’t obvious
But every late night already exposed it
Every little look told the truth before we spoke it
I don’t confess, keep feelings protected
Built from the pain, got my heart well-defended
But if this is love, then I’ll stand and protect it
You got the real me — these are my confessions
