[Intro | Suspended Tension | Breath-Soft Female Lead + Low Male Answer | Bare Rhodes + Phone-Tone Pulse]
[Dashee]
Your name.

Of course.

And just like that...
my hands stopped shaking.

[Him]
You gon' answer?

[Dashee]
I shouldn't.

[Him]
But you did.

[Verse 1 | Guarded Pull | Low Female Conversational Lead | Sparse Boom-Bap Kick + Rhodes Pocket]
[Dashee]
I said, "What you want?" like I ain't know
You said, "Why you talking like that for?"
Same voice, same pause, same little tone
That used to have me halfway out the door

You ain't say sorry
I ain't ask you to
You said, "I been thinking"
I said, "About who?"

You laughed like that was cute
Shit, maybe it was
'Cause ten minutes later
I'm putting clothes on because—

Damn.

Whole day fighting not to fold
One call and I'm back doing what I know
I can hear my own advice in my head
Still grabbed my keys when you said—

[Him]
"Come through."

[Pre-Chorus | Rising Temptation | Female Lead + Male Call-Response | Bass Hold + Soul Chord Lift]
[Dashee]
Don't say you miss me

[Him]
I miss you

[Dashee]
Don't say you need me

[Him]
I need you

[Dashee]
Don't make it easy

[Him]
Too late

[Both]
We know exactly
where this gon' go

[Chorus | Dangerous Release | Female-Male Tradeoffs + Stacked Harmonies | Deep 808 Drop + Swung Soul Snare]
[Both]
Relapse, relapse
One call and we right back
Say "last time," then we backtrack
Same bad love in a new act

[Dashee]
I know better

[Him]
Still came back

[Both]
Know the ending
still replay that

Relapse, relapse
One touch and the fight collapse
We don't fix shit, we just react
Call it love when we need it that bad

[Background]
(That bad)
(That bad)

[Both]
We know what this is
Still running it back

[Verse 2 | Conflicted Heat | Low Male Lead + Female Responses | Muted Guitar + Dragged Snare]
[Him]
You think you the only one checking that phone?
Only one staring when nobody home?
I leave when it get too real, that's facts
Then miss how you feel soon as I fall back

I know I be distant
I know that's my shit
Act like I don't care
then get mad when you switch

You call it mixed signals
I call it me tryna—
Nah, fuck that.

I ain't gon' dress it up either.

I like knowing you there
Even when I disappear
Like knowing one late text
still put me somewhere near

That's selfish.

[Dashee]
Very.

[Him]
Still true.

You run to me when life get loud
I run to you when I don't know what else to do

Maybe I ain't your medicine

[Dashee]
No.

[Him]
Maybe you mine too.

[Pre-Chorus | Rising Temptation | Male Lead + Female Call-Response | Rhodes Turn + Hat Pickup]
[Him]
Don't say you hate me

[Dashee]
I don't

[Him]
Don't say it's over

[Dashee]
It won't—

...damn.

[Him]
Don't make it easy

[Dashee]
Too late

[Both]
We know exactly
where this gon' go

[Chorus | Dangerous Release | Female-Male Tradeoffs + Stacked Harmonies | Deep 808 Drop + Swung Soul Snare]
[Both]
Relapse, relapse
One call and we right back
Say "last time," then we backtrack
Same bad love in a new act

[Dashee]
I know better

[Him]
Still came back

[Both]
Know the ending
still replay that

Relapse, relapse
One touch and the fight collapse
We don't fix shit, we just react
Call it love when we need it that bad

[Background]
(That bad)
(That bad)

[Both]
We know what this is
Still running it back

[Bridge | Exposed Confession | Alternating Leads + Bare Soul Harmonies | Drums Drop + Rhodes Descent]
[Dashee]
If you know you're bad for me
why you keep calling?

[Him]
If you know I'm bad for you
why you keep coming?

[Dashee]
That ain't an answer.

[Him]
Neither was yours.

[Dashee]
See, that's that shit.

[Him]
I know.

[Dashee]
You leave me empty
then come fill the same space.

[Him]
You push me out
then save my place.

[Dashee]
We keep hurting each other
then using each other
to make the hurt stop.

[Him]
So what we doing?

[Dashee]
...

What we always do.

[Final Chorus | Full Relapse | Female-Male Belts + Dense Call-Response | Heavy 808 + Boom-Bap Push]
[Both]
Relapse, relapse
One call and we right back
Say "last time," then we backtrack
Same bad love in a new act

[Dashee]
I know better

[Him]
Still came back

[Both]
Know the ending
still replay that

Relapse, relapse
One touch and the fight collapse
We don't fix shit, we just react
Call it love when we need it that bad

[Background]
(Need it that bad)
(That bad)

[Dashee]
You ain't good for me

[Him]
You ain't good for me

[Both]
But good ain't what we came here for.

[Outro | Spent Aftermath | Female Whisper + Low Male Murmur | Drums Dissolve + Detuned Rhodes]
[Dashee]
Morning came too fast.

Same ceiling.
Same clothes on the floor.
Same lie sitting in my mouth.

[Him]
You staying?

[Dashee]
I looked at him...

Wanted to say no.

[Him]
Stay.

[Dashee]
And there it was again.

Not love.

Not healing.

Just relief.

And this time...

I knew exactly what I was taking.

[End]
