There’s a kind of heartbreak that doesn’t explode.
It just cools and burns at the same time, like fire learning how to freeze.
This song was born somewhere between the memory of what we were
and the silence of what we’ll never be again.
Not a requiem.
Not revenge.
Just the moment you realize two people can share a story
yet live two different truths.
Fire and ice don’t cancel each other.
They just melt into something no one wants to touch.
Lyrics
We was fire and ice, mixin’ heat with the chill
Told me love’s a gamble, now you playin’ for the thrill
Say you ride or die, but you Uber when it’s real
Had a seat at my table, now you eatin’ different meals
It’s funny how we talked forever in the moment
Now the moment’s all we got and we don’t own it
You said we’d ride ’til the wheels fell off
Guess you found a new road, now I’m just a pit stop
We was textin’ novels, now we speak in subtitles
Turned my main thing into just another title
You say “we good,” but your tone sound viral
Feelin’ like I’m scrollin’ through a stranger’s recital
You said “trust the process,” then you skipped every step
Now I’m tryna build peace with the pieces you left
We was same page, now the chapters don’t align
Guess love’s blind… but heartbreak read every sign
Now you out here cappin’ in them captions for the likes
Talkin’ ’bout self-love, but you still my type
Got my hoodie in your closet like a trophy on display
While you act brand new, but the smell still stay
You was front-row center when my life had no view
Now you VIP with somebody brand new
Guess the grass look greener when you paint it in a post
But it’s dead in the roots, only real ones know
We both played roles, but the script ran dry
Kept the mask on tight, now I see why
Ain’t no villain in the story, just a plot with no end
Guess we strangers in the sequel, not even pretend
