Check out "Hello" - the prequel to this track

Verse 1
We’re laughing on your couch again,
Sharing secrets like we always did.
But lately when you look my way,
It feels like more than just a friend.

Pre-Chorus
And I don’t know how to say it,
Don’t wanna risk the way it is.
But my heart’s already racing,
Every time you brush my wrist.

Chorus
What if I told you I can’t pretend,
I’m falling for you, more than friends?
Caught between the lines we drew,
Scared of losing what I have with you.
But the truth is breaking through,
I’m falling for you.

Verse 2
Your name lights up my phone at night,
We talk until the morning sky.
But lately silence feels too loud,
I want to say what’s on my mind.

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been walking on wire,
Balancing the risk and fire.
Do I tell you what I feel,
Or keep a secret I can’t heal?

Chorus
What if I told you I can’t pretend,
I’m falling for you, more than friends?
Caught between the lines we drew,
Scared of losing what I have with you.
But the truth is breaking through,
I’m falling for you.

Bridge/Outro
If you don’t feel the same, I’ll stay

I'm Falling For You

Check out "I'm Falling For You" - the sequel to this track.

(Verse 1)
Yeah, you know I saw you from across the floor
And I know you've never seen me before
I practiced my lines a thousand times in my head
But I just stood there, left it all unsaid, oh

(Pre-Chorus)
My feet were stuck like they were glued right down
While my thoughts were spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
And I hate myself for being this way
But I couldn't find the words to say, words to say

(Chorus)
Is it too late now to say hello?
'Cause I'm missing more than just your shadow
Yeah, I know that I let you go-oh-oh
Is it too late now to say hello?

(Verse 2)
You were right there, just a step away
And I'm the only one who's to blame
Yeah, I could've made a move, I could've said your name
But I'm a master at this losing game, no

(Pre-Chorus)
My feet were stuck like they were glued right down
While my thoughts were spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
And I hate myself for being this way
'Cause I couldn't find the words to say, words to say

(Chorus)
Is it too late now to say hello?
'Cause I'm missing more than just your shadow
Yeah, I know that I let you go-oh-oh
Is it too late now to say hello?

(Bridge)
I'm sorry that I couldn't be the one
Be the one to speak before you had to run
I'm sorry that I let my fear take hold
A story that will never be told
Is it too late now to say hello?
'Cause I'm missing more than just your shadow
Yeah, I know that I let you go-oh-oh
Is it too late now to say hello?

(Outro)
Hello, hello
Shoulda said hello
Hello, hello
Yeah, I let you go
Hello, hello
Shoulda said hello
Is it too late now to say hello?

Hello

American Saint

(Hook)
Talk too nice when I slide on the beat,
Wrist too cold, whole block got heat.
Move too clean, no crease on the fit,
Whole room froze when I came with the drip.
Talk too nice, yeah, talk too nice,
Did it once, had to do it twice.
Talk too nice, yeah, talk too nice,
Whole crowd jump when I touch that mic.

(Pre-Chorus)
They wanna know how I do that thing,
Every line I drop got bling.
Stay ten toes, no strings,
That’s real talk, that’s king.

(Verse 1)
Step in, they look, no warning,
Flash in the dark, new morning.
Wave too big, I surf it,
Bills all blue, that’s perfect.
Talk less, work more, earn it,
Every bar gold, I burn it.
They said chill, I’m turning,
Whole city now my sermon.

(Hook)
Talk too nice when I slide on the beat,
Wrist too cold, whole block got heat.
Move too clean, no crease on the fit,
Whole room froze when I came with the drip.
Talk too nice, yeah, talk too nice,
Did it once, had to do it twice.
Talk too nice, yeah, talk too nice,
Whole crowd jump when I touch that mic.

(Verse 2)
Snap that pic, no filter,
Glow too real, I shimmer.
Mind on cash, no splinter,
Heart stay cold like winter.
Drip no spill, I balance,
Game too wild, no challenge.
Talk that talk, no malice,
Crown too high for average.

(Bridge 1)
808s bang, feel that rush,
No fake love when I’m in the cut.
Lights flash once, cameras hush,
Everything I touch go plush.

(New Verse 3)
Got that calm when I walk through noise,
Whole crowd move when I lift my voice.
No fake shade, I stay poised,
Turn small wins into big-time joys.
Don’t need trends, I set 'em,
Don’t chase crowns, I get 'em.
Whole team eat, that’s dinner,
They call me boss, not beginner.

(Pre-Drop / Chant Section)
Talk too nice, talk too nice (yeah),
They gon’ replay that twice (uh).
Talk too nice, talk too nice (what),
Whole squad lit tonight (woo).

(Hook – Final)
Talk too nice when I slide on the beat,
Wrist too cold, whole block got heat.
Move too clean, no crease on the fit,
Whole room froze when I came with the drip.
Talk too nice, yeah, talk too nice,
Did it once, had to do it twice.
Talk too nice, yeah, talk too nice,
Whole world sing that line all night.

(Extended Outro)
Too smooth, too fly, no lie —
Talk too nice when I walk on by.
Ayy, talk too nice, that’s me,
Whole world talkin’, can’t touch this heat.
Too smooth, too cold, too clean,
Talk too nice — that’s the routine.

Talk Too Nice

(Verse 1)
You walk in like the whole room’s yours,
Perfect smile that you never wore before.
You laugh loud, but it’s not your laugh,
It’s the kind you use so no one asks.
I see the way your shoulders tense,
How every move is calculated confidence.
You keep the surface looking fine,
But I can read the truth between the lines.

(Pre-Chorus)
You don’t gotta play that role tonight,
You don’t gotta hold that look so tight.
I’m right here if you need a place to breathe,
You don’t have to hide what’s underneath.

(Chorus)
I see the people you pretend to be,
The version you use so no one sees
Everything you keep behind your eyes
When the whole world’s standing by.
You don’t owe anybody that disguise—
Not with me, not tonight.
I see the people you pretend to be…
But I just want the one you hide.

(Verse 2)
You stay close to the safest walls,
Talking small just to avoid the bigger thoughts.
You say you’re fine, but your breathing’s off,
And I know that tone when you feel lost.
You lift your chin like you’re made of steel,
But I know you better than the show you reel.
You hold yourself like nothing breaks,
But I can hear the quiet in the space.

(Pre-Chorus)
You don’t gotta play that role tonight,
You don’t gotta stand there acting right.
I’m right here if you need a place to breathe,
You don’t have to hide what’s underneath.

(Chorus)
I see the people you pretend to be,
The version you use so no one sees
Everything you keep behind your eyes
When the whole world’s standing by.
You don’t owe anybody that disguise—
Not with me, not tonight.
I see the people you pretend to be…
But I just want the one you hide.

(Verse 3)
I know the way you guard your past,
Every story told only half-as-fast.
You keep your wins on public view,
Save all the bruises for a chosen few.
But every time your voice goes low,
I hear a truth you never let show.
You don’t need armor when you’re with me—
You can be soft, you can be real, you can be free.

(Pre-Chorus — soft)
You don’t gotta hold that pose so tight,
You don’t gotta prove you’re always right.
I’m right here if you need a place to breathe,
You don’t have to hide what’s underneath.

(Bridge — extended)
If you lose your lines,
You can lean on mine.
If the world feels loud,
You can step behind.
If you drop the act,
You’ll still be fine.
You don’t need perfect—
You just need time.

(Final Chorus)
I see the people you pretend to be,
But none of that matters here with me.
You don’t need layers just to survive—
Come as you are, you’re still enough tonight.
Let the whole room think what they like…
I see the real you underneath the light.
I see the people you pretend to be—
And I just want the one you hide.

(Outro — soft)
You don’t have to fake the strength you feel,
You don’t have to prove that pain’s not real.
Stay as long as you want tonight…

Pretend to Be

[Verse 1]

네 손끝이 스치면 숨이 멎어가
네가 다가오면 내 맘이 흔들려가
살짝 기대오는 온기만으로도
네 눈빛 하나에 그대로 무너져가
허리를 따라 흐르는 너의 느린 손길
작은 장난에도 심장이 O M G 뛰어
내 이름을 낮게 부르는 그 목소리
O M G 나를 더 데려가 줘

[Pre-Chorus]

서두르지 않아도 깊게 스며와
한 번의 움직임에 모든 게 무너져
네가 내게 닿을 때 숨이 막혀와
빠져버린 마음, 이제 돌릴 수 없어

[Chorus]

O M G 네가 다가오면
가슴 뛰는 속도가 제멋대로 흘러가
네 손길 한 번에 온몸이 흔들려
멀어지지 말라며 나를 부르잖아
O M G 너는 내 심장을 태워
말 못 할 떨림들이 점점 더 커져가
피할 수도 없고 벗어날 수도 없는 흐름
O M G 넌 날 완전히 삼켜가

[Verse 2]

내 마음을 읽는 듯한 너의 눈빛에
숨기던 모든 감정이 다 드러나
살짝 잡아끄는 손끝이 닿을 때
오늘 밤의 중심에 네가 서 있어
입술 가까이 스칠 듯한 그 순간
모든 방어선이 허물어져 사라져
웃음 하나에도 다 잃어버리는 나
O M G 이 떨림 멈추지 마

[Pre-Chorus]

평소엔 아무렇지 않은 척해도
너 앞에서는 말도 잊고 녹아가
흔들리는 내 마음, 이미 알고 있겠지
더 숨길 필요 없어, 다 네 탓이야

[Chorus]

O M G 네가 다가오면
가슴 뛰는 속도가 제멋대로 흘러가
네 손길 한 번에 온몸이 흔들려
멀어지지 말라며 나를 부르잖아
O M G 너는 내 심장을 태워
말 못 할 떨림들이 점점 더 커져가
피할 수도 없고 벗어날 수도 없는 흐름
O M G 넌 날 완전히 삼켜가

[Verse 3]

네 손길 아래서 난 숨조차 잊어
조금만 더 다가오면 심장 터질 것 같아
느릿한 리듬 타며 귓가에 스치는 말
“오늘 밤은 우리밖에 없어” 속삭이잖아
허리 감싸 오는 너의 따뜻한 손
그 순간 세상이 멈춘 듯 고요해져
네 눈빛 따라 어디든 가줄게
O M G 너에게서 못 벗어나겠어

[Bridge]

한 번 더 스치면 난 버틸 수 없어
너의 숨결이 내 무너짐의 신호야
더 가까이 와줘, 멈추지 말아줘
O M G 난 이미 너에게 빠졌어

[Final Chorus]

O M G 넌 나를 깨워
내 모든 감각이 너로 차올라
너의 손길, 너의 눈빛, 너의 숨결
돌아갈 수 없어, 이미 깊이 빠져
O M G 넌 내가 원하는 전부
내 마음 깊은 곳까지 파고드는 너
뜨거운 떨림 속에서 벗어나긴 싫어
O M G 넌 내 심장을 흔들어 놓아

[Verse 1]
I practiced what I’d say in the mirror
Made it sharp, made it clear, made it cruel
But when I saw your face get quieter
Every word just felt like it broke the rule
I thought hate would feel like power
Something strong I could lean into
But it fades after a few hours
And leaves more mess than you ever do

[Pre-Chorus]
I stacked every reason in my head
Tried to make you easier to forget
But every memory fights back
And rewrites every fact

[Chorus]
I hate you, I think
But that word feels heavier every time
’Cause if I really did
You wouldn’t still live in my mind
I hate you, I swear
But hate don’t feel like this
It feels cleaner than regret
And you still feel like a mess I can’t fix

[Verse 2]
Your name still comes up in my notifications
Like you’re checking in through the noise
I delete it, I mute it, I hesitate
Like I don’t trust my own voice
I replay things I should’ve said louder
And things I should’ve never let slide
Funny how being “over someone”
Just means you stopped showing the side

[Pre-Chorus]
I built a story where I survived
Where you’re just a villain in my mind
But you were more than just the fight
That’s what makes letting go hard tonight

[Chorus]
I hate you, I think
But that word feels heavier every time
’Cause if I really did
You wouldn’t still cross my mind
I hate you, it’s true
At least some days I pretend
But hate is such a final word
For something I couldn’t even end

[Verse 3]
You walked away like nothing cracked
Like I wasn’t the one holding it up
You called it “growth” and turned your back
While I swallowed what you fucked up

You love pretending it was mutual
Like you didn’t leave me there
Don’t rewrite it to feel neutral
You made the mess, then disappeared

[Bridge]
Maybe I don’t hate you
Maybe I just hate the way I stayed
Maybe I don’t miss you
I just miss who I became

Funny how the same two people
Can mean something so different now
Like strangers with old passwords
Typing memories out loud

[Final Chorus]
I hate you, I think
But it sounds weak when I say it slow
’Cause if I really did
I’d have let you go
I hate you, maybe
Or maybe I just hate the lie
That I’d be fine without your name
Still echoing in my mind

I Hate You... I Think

[Verse 1]
You left without raising your voice
Just silence where the echo should be
A room full of unmade choices
And a key you forgot with me
I kept the light on for a minute
Like you might change direction
But love doesn’t run on minutes
It runs on misconnection

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried rewriting the ending
Like time was something I could bend
But the more I kept pretending
The clearer it had to end

[Chorus]
So this is goodbye, not “maybe”
Not “we’ll see” or “someday”
Just the quiet between two people
Who ran out of things to say
I won’t hold your name like a weapon
I won’t make it hard to leave
But saying goodbye is a heaviness
You don’t realize till you breathe

[Verse 2]
I noticed how you stopped touching me
Like I was made of glass
Every smile became a courtesy
Every kiss felt like the past
And I could feel the distance growing
Before you said a word
Some truths don’t come from talking
They come from what you never heard

[Chorus]
So this is goodbye, not “maybe”
Not “call me when you’re okay”
Just the space you leave behind you
When you finally walk away
I won’t play strong for attention
I won’t fall to make you see
But goodbye is a different language
Than anything you said to me

I don’t hate you
I just don’t know how to remember you
Without feeling like I’m losing something
I already lost
And I won’t chase truth through your shadow
I won’t keep our broken parts
Goodbyes don’t make you evil
They just leave you with the dark

[Final Chorus]
So So this is goodbye, not “maybe”
Not “call me when you’re okay”
Just the space you leave behind you
When you finally walk away
I won’t play strong for attention
I won’t fall to make you see
But goodbye is a different language
Than anything you said to me

This Is Goodbye

[Verse 1]
I still lie next to you at night
But my mind keeps slipping out the door
You ask if everything’s alright
I say “yeah,” but I don’t know anymore
There’s a warmth I didn’t mean to find
A laugh that hits me like a spark
Didn’t plan on crossing any lines
But something moved inside my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t want to play pretend
Or let this break you without warning
But feelings shift so quiet
You don’t hear them till the morning

[Chorus]
We drift
Not because you did something
But ‘cause someone else became my something
I’m trying not to fall but I already slipped
Bit by bit
We drift
I hate that love can change direction
Even when there’s nothing wrong with your affection
I wish this wasn’t something I’d admit
But now it’s just this—
We drift

[Verse 2]
You still reach for me like always
But I freeze before I let you in
I feel the guilt in every hallway
Knowing where my heart has been
I compare you to a moment
That I shouldn’t hold onto
It’s not fair you’re losing something
I never meant to undo

[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted to hurt you
Never meant to split my truth
But some connections hit so sudden
You can’t unfeel what’s new

[Chorus]
We drift
Not from fights, not from damage
But from someone who felt like a bandage
For a wound I didn’t know existed
Bit by bit
We drift
I didn’t choose to feel it either
But pretending only makes it deeper
And you deserve more than a half-hearted grip
So now it’s just this—
We drift

[Bridge]
I don’t blame you, I don’t blame me
But I can’t keep lying in your sheets
While thinking ‘bout another face
In all the places we should meet
If I stay, I’ll only break you
If I leave, I break us both
But loving two in quiet echoes
Is a truth I can’t withhold

[Final Chorus]
We drift
And I wish I could rewind it
Wish I didn’t feel what’s behind it
But hearts don’t always land where they’re meant to sit
We drift
And I hope one day you find someone
Who doesn’t pull away when morning comes
But I can’t keep holding on like this
So I’m letting go—
We drift

We Drift

[Verse 1]
I kept my distance just to stay in control
Didn’t want another pull I couldn’t hold
But you showed up quiet, nothing to prove
Still somehow you rearranged the room
I tried to call it nothing, just a phase
But it lingers like a song I can’t replace
Didn’t expect the way my chest would move
Every time I got close to you

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel it rising, even when I push it down
It keeps coming back around

[Chorus] 
It’s a surge
All at once, everything aligns
Like the feeling I’ve been chasing all my life
Didn’t see it coming, but it hits me right
It’s a surge
And the moment that you walked my way
Something settled that I couldn’t explain
Now I know I’ve never felt this kind of change

[Verse 2]
You move easy, nothing trying too hard
But it still gets underneath my guard
I ask questions I never say out loud
Like why you feel different from the crowd
There’s a calm in the way you speak my name
And it hits places I don’t usually name
Didn’t see it coming, didn’t have a clue
Till I caught myself leaning toward you

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to shake it, but it settles in my bones
Like something I already know

[Final Chorus] 
It’s a surge
All at once, everything aligns
Like the feeling I’ve been chasing all my life
Didn’t see it coming, but it hits me right
It’s a surge
And the moment that you walked my way
Something settled that I couldn’t explain
Now I know I’ve never felt this kind of change

Tongue-tied

I’m Staticfoxx. I make music by combining my own writing and melodies with AI-assisted production (using Suno, formerly Udio, and others). Every lyric comes from me - my experiences, my head, my voice. I play out melodies on piano, then use AI tools to reshape and evolve them while staying fully in control of the direction. From there, I edit, mix, and refine everything in Logic, Pro Tools and BandLab, until it feels right.

For me, the process is simple: take something real and human, use technology to push it further, and make music that I like.

I hope you like it too!
