🔻 Song Insight
"You" by 4Me2BeFree is a quiet detonation—the unraveling of a soul betrayed not by absence, but by deception. As the opening confession in the COTC (Cleaning Out the Closet) collection, it plays like a sonic autopsy: soft at first, then gutting. The track captures that specific horror of realizing the person you loved was never really there… or worse, never real to begin with.

Layered acoustic textures and swelling strings provide a deceptive warmth—just enough to make the blade twist deeper when the truth hits. This isn’t about heartbreak. It’s about the theft of history, identity, and a future that was never truly shared.

🔻 Lyrics
[Intro]
How can you be so blind not to see?
What is so broken inside of you?

[Verse 1]
How can you be so blind not to see?
What is so broken inside of you?
You’re someone I don’t know,
A stranger in his clothes.
You stole our soul,
And without him, I am alone.

[Chorus]
You started a war!
Destroyed our home!
Ripped me to shreds!
Gutted my heart!
Made me lose hope!
Left me to die alone—
Where has he gone?
What have you done?

[Verse 2]
Every memory we made,
You stole every part.
You kill my beating heart.
The passion—
The fire—
It’s all gone out.

[Bridge]
Pain I have inside—
Without my friend, who am I?
I lost myself in your crime.
I feel as though I’m doing your time.

[Chorus – Reprise]
You started a war!
Destroyed our home!
Ripped me to shreds!
Gutted my heart!
Made me lose hope!
Left me to die alone—
Where has he gone?
What have you done?

[Verse 3]
How could you be? How could you take this from me?
You were my world—everything that I was.
You’re the worst—a thief in the night.
I will never see you…
I will never hear you…
I will never be with you…
I will never understand.

[Pre-Outro]
I opened my heart.
I gave you my life.
I trusted your words—
The promises that you broke.
The lies you told.
The mistakes I made.
The things I said.
The sacrifices I displayed.

[Outro]
You never said goodbye...
I’m sorry we met...
Sorry I said yes...
Sorry to kids...

🔻 Personal Reflection
"You" wasn’t written with catharsis in mind. It was written because there was nowhere else left to put the pain.

At some point, I stopped recognizing the person I was next to every day. That moment of clarity—that snap—came not with yelling, but with silence. This song was born in that silence. In that awful stillness where you realize the person you loved was a mirage built on manipulation.

It took everything to stop blaming myself. To stop thinking I “should’ve known.” But the truth is, some monsters wear your favorite memories like skin. And this song is me peeling it back… one lyric at a time.

🔻 4Me2BeFree
"You" sets the tone for COTC, the first body of work where I stop softening the blow. This is where the masks fall, the wounds stay open, and the lies get named. 4Me2BeFree has always been about reclaiming truth through storytelling—and this track? It’s the moment I stop whispering it.

You - COTC

"If it didn’t matter, it wouldn’t hurt. Pain is the gift of knowing you’re alive."

4Me2BeFree is more than music—it’s my story, my scars, and my survival. Every song is a piece of me, a raw melody of love, heartbreak, and resilience. I blend AI-generated vocals and instruments with real emotions, turning my experiences—especially from an LGBTQ+ perspective—into something that speaks to anyone who's ever felt lost, broken, or just searching for something real.

Breakup songs? Yeah, they hit different. Music carries us through the worst of it, and every generation finds their own anthems of love, loss, and getting back up. Heartache doesn’t care about age, gender, or where you come from—music connects us all.

I make music because I’ve been there. The pain, the anger, the hope—it's all in these songs. If something here hits home for you, let it. If you feel something, let me know. That’s the connection that keeps this alive.
