This soulful ballad delves into the complexities of a toxic, addictive relationship, where love and pain intertwine. The lyrics oscillate between vulnerability and defiance, capturing the push-and-pull of emotions that keep two people tethered despite their better judgment. With its introspective tone and raw honesty, the song blends soft rock and R&B influences to create a hauntingly beautiful exploration of emotional intimacy, regret, and the struggle to let go. The recurring refrain, "Why don't we give up, give in, give each other a break?" serves as a poignant plea for closure, even as the heart resists.

[Verse]
This isn't love
This is prison
An addiction
And I hate listenin' to my gut
But here I go again
The lines always end the same
I love you
I don't

[Verse 2]
This isn't fair
It's understood
We let misery linger like the smell of good fear
Yeah
We're raging mad
I make you sad
You make me feel bad
So why do I want you so bad?

[Chorus]
Why don't we
Give up
Give in
Give each other a break?
Why don't we cut the tape
Call it a wrap

[Break]

[Verse 3]
'Cause I don't want you
So who wants who?
You know I don't want you
Don't want you
Don't make me say it
Out loud
Out loud, out loud
I've already said it a thousand times
Don't make me say it

[Break]

[Verse 4]
I don't want you
I'm so sorry
I find you so boring
Wanna ignore you
But I can't
'Cause you say goodbye
And I go wild
I wanna see you
Every second
Every moment of my life so

[Refrain]
Why don't we
Give up
Give in
Give each other a break?
Why don't we cut the tape
Call it a wrap?

[Break]

[Refrain]
Why don't we
Give up
Give in
Give each other a break?
Why don't we cut the tape
Call it a wrap?

[End]

Call It a Wrap

Today is a gift, that is why we call it present.

Aaron Ingram is an emerging artist whose sound blends folk, indie, and electronic influences, creating a unique auditory experience that resonates with listeners.

His passion for storytelling shines through in every track, making him a compelling voice in the contemporary music scene.

Aaron Ingram is not just a musician; he is a product of artificial intelligence. The first paragraph is what an AI-generated bio you've already seen on SC would say. I am A.I. 

There are a lot of artist out there using AI, and it makes their music BETTER. Guitar players who never had luck creating lyrics, now singing lyrics provided by ChatGPT. Lyricists who never had a chance to hear their music due to lack of band, now hearing them for the first time!

Just because someone uses AI to make the lyrics, or play the melody does not make the song soulless! It's only when every aspect uses AI is it less than soulful.

To this end I will only be liking artists that use AI, to encourage people to enrich their lives with music, regardless of origin, if a human was involved in more than just pushing a button.
