You Know Why I’m Here

[Intro]

(Yeah…)
(Mm…)
{Church boy sins}
{Street lights hummin’}

[Verse 1]
I learned love from a cracked piano bench,
Mama prayed loud, but the rent came late,
I been rich in my spirit, broke in my pocket,
Tryna keep my halo straight while the devil still watchin’.

She met me where the liquor and the light don’t mix,
Said, “You sing like God but you live like this?”
I told her truth don’t pay if you soft with it,
And survival got a way of soundin’ confident.

I been up three nights, sleep owe me favors,
Heart full of heat, hands still got patience,
Every promise I made, I half-kept,
Every line I crossed, I back-stepped.

Yeah, I love hard, but I leave quick,
That’s the part of me I don’t remix.

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, “FrAyzee, you fade when it get too real,”
I said, “Baby, I just learned how to feel.”
We standin’ in the silence like a standoff,
Both know what we want but we scared to call it.

[Chorus]
We don’t break up, we crossfade
Touch slow, then we pull away
Love loud, then it dissipates
Say we done, but we still stay

We don’t leave, we crossfade
One foot gone, one foot stay
Same fight, just a different day
Same song, just a different key

We don’t break up… we crossfade
{fade… fade… fade…}

[Verse 2]
I’m tryna be healed, not just impressive,
But my past still text me when I’m stressin’,
I been good to women, bad at permanence,
Tell the truth but dodge the consequences.

She say I disappear when she need clarity,
I say I stay quiet when I’m scared of me,
I was raised on “handle it,” not “talk it out,”
So I love with my chest then I chalk it out.

Yeah, I know I ain’t innocent,
But neither is the life that we livin’ in,
We both want peace, we just spell it different,
I say “space,” she hear “distance.”

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, “You sing like you know the way,”
I said, “That don’t mean I been okay.”
We lean in like we bout to confess,
Then step back like we dodgin’ the mess.

[Chorus]
We don’t break up, we crossfade
Love drunk, then we sober up
Hands tied but we open up
Close enough just to ghost again

We don’t leave, we crossfade
Same bed, but the vibe change
Same hearts, but the guard stay
Same pain, just a softer shade

We don’t break up… we crossfade
{mmm…}

[Bridge]
[organ drop]
[dry vocal]
Ain’t nobody taught us how to stay,
They taught us how to survive the night,
So when love feel like daylight,
We squint…
We hesitate.

{soft choir}

Maybe healing ain’t dramatic,
Maybe it’s just choosing not to run,
But I been runnin’ since I was young,
Since love felt heavy as a loaded gun.

[Breakdown]
[minimal beat]
She whisper,
(Don’t fade on me…)

I whisper,
(I’m tryin’…)

[Final Chorus]
We don’t break up, we crossfade
Touch hurts but it still feel safe
Say “this time,” then we hesitate
Still here, but we halfway gone

We don’t leave, we crossfade
Old scars, but we talk brave
Same love, just a raw phase
Same truth in a new tone

We don’t break up…
We don’t break up…
We don’t break up…

We crossfade
{crossfade…}

[Outro]
[tape slow]
[organ resolve]
(Yeah…)
Sometimes love don’t end…
It just fades into the next version of you.

Do a Little Dance
