Simping in Shadows

Lyrics

Verse 1
Screaming
Oh, he’s pouring out sympathy, down to his soul,
Showing up every day like he’s on patrol.
Thinks if he tries hard enough, I’ll fall at his feet,
But I just sit back, yeah, watch him repeat.

He’s texting all morning, checking in all night,
Like he’s my shadow, clinging on tight.
He’s offering shoulders for tears I don’t cry,
Thinking he’s my hero — boy, nice try.

Chorus
Oh, he’s simping, yeah, he’s doing the most,
Lost in some fantasy, acting like my ghost.
Showing up with coffee, trying to be sweet,
Thinking his kindness’ll knock me off my feet.

He’s bending and breaking, all for a chance,
Wasting his time in this one-sided dance.
Oh, he’s simping, yeah, it’s sad to see,
All that attention, but none back from me.

Verse 2
Picks up my books, holds the door, acts polite,
Like every small gesture will win him a night.
He’s laughing at jokes that aren’t even funny,
Dropping cash on me like it’s all about money.

He’s posting quotes, tagging me in his dreams,
Trying so hard, tearing at the seams.
Keeps asking what’s wrong, like he’s reading my mind,
But I’m not into it, yeah, love’s just blind.

Chorus
Oh, he’s simping, yeah, he’s over the edge,
Trying to buy love like he’s made a pledge.
Writing sad songs, posting online,
Thinking one day, yeah, he’ll call me “mine.”

He’s bending over backward, being the “nice guy,”
But all I do is just roll my eyes.
Oh, he’s simping, yeah, it’s hard to watch,
All this affection that I never sought.

Bridge
Goes on about “forever,” like we’re meant to be,
But I’m not feeling it, can’t he see?
He’s drowning himself in attention he gives,
All for a girl that just won’t let him in.

Breakdown
Yeah, he’s simping hard, he’s all in deep,
Dreaming of promises he can’t keep.
He’s got sympathy pouring like he’s my savior,
But to me, it’s just funny behavior.

Outro
Oh, he’s simping, yeah, in his own sad dream,
Lost in this fantasy that’s not what it seems.
Boy, you’re trying too hard, it’s killing me now,
Chasing affection I won’t allow.
