Sassy Echoes of Goodbye

Tekst utworu

Intro — low female harmonies] Done, done, done… Thought you said you were done. Mm. Then why we here? [Verse 1] You told the whole world, had us turning our faces, Had everybody choosing sides off your conversations. Painted him a monster, made yourself the saving grace, Whole time this man just looking in the mirror at his face. Trying to figure out How love got this ugly, How somebody that knew him Could make strangers judge him. Now you back with another round, Another story, another sound. You said you left, you said you're free— Then why the hell you still talking about he? [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you want war? (Say that.) Want smoke? (Say that.) Don't throw the match Then hide your hands when I throw flame back. You dropped yours— Here's mine. Come get it, baby, I'm outside. [HOOK — stacked harmonies] I'm taking shots at your pride, Every line, dead center tonight. I'll lay that little story down, Get the fuck up outta here with that now. You say you want war? Then have it. Dropped yours first? Here's mine—come grab it. You said, “I'm done,” But every time that beat comes on— You still talking. (Talking, talking…) Still talking. (Girl, keep talking…) [Verse 2] You got the whole room looking sideways, Had friends changing up off what you say. That's a hell of a power— Hope you proud of how you used it, 'Cause breaking somebody's name Ain't the same as making music. And that man? He ain't plotting no revenge. He's staring at his reflection Trying to recognize himself again. While you're collecting applause For every wound you display, Did you ever tell the room What you did along the way? [Background] Tell that part… Tell that part… Don't get quiet now. [Bridge — beat strips down] You wanted everybody watching. They watched. Wanted everybody talking. They talked. Wanted everybody against him. You got that. So why— after getting everything you wanted— are you still mad? Mm. Thought you were done. [FINAL CHORUS — huge harmonies] I'm taking shots at your pride, Every note got your name between the lines. You wanted war, don't flinch now— You rang the bell, I'm answering it loud. You dropped yours— Here's mine. Come get it, baby, Any damn time. You told the whole world, Turned every face— But couldn't make that man Hate the reflection that you tried to erase. [Choir] Still talking! Still talking! Still talking! [Sophia — music cuts] Baby, for somebody who's done… you sure got a lot left to say.
