Lyrics

Intro (Soft Soul Vocal)
The heart and the mind...
Been arguing for centuries.
Mine just happened to pick a very inconvenient case.
Hook (Soul Vocal)
I knew better anyway
Saw every warning sign displayed
Still found myself standing there
Like curiosity and hope had teamed up again
I knew better anyway
But knowing and choosing ain't the same
Sometimes wisdom sits in the passenger seat
While desire grabs the steering wheel
Verse 1 (Soul-Rap)
You arrived carrying charm like a well-tailored alibi
Too polished to trust completely
Too interesting to ignore
That's a dangerous combination
I noticed the inconsistencies early
The disappearing acts
The selective honesty
The talent for making accountability
Feel like a scheduling conflict
My intuition submitted reports weekly
My heart kept losing the paperwork
See, attraction can be persuasive
Especially when loneliness volunteers
As co-counsel
Hook (Soul Vocal)
I knew better anyway
Saw every warning sign displayed
Still found myself standing there
Like curiosity and hope had teamed up again
I knew better anyway
But knowing and choosing ain't the same
Sometimes wisdom sits in the passenger seat
While desire grabs the steering wheel
Verse 2 (Soul-Rap)
The funny thing is
You didn't fool me.
Not completely.
I saw the pattern.
I just underestimated
Its impact.
That's different.
People think heartbreak begins
When someone leaves.
Sometimes heartbreak begins
The moment you realize
They were exactly who they showed you they were
And you stayed anyway.
Now that's a difficult conversation
To have with yourself.
But growth lives there.
In the uncomfortable honesty.
In the reflection.
In the accountability.
Bridge (Soul Vocal)
I forgive the woman
Who wanted to believe
She was searching for love
Not a lesson
Breakdown (Soul-Rap)
Turns out
Discernment isn't about never making mistakes.
It's about recognizing them sooner
The next time.
Final Hook (Big Soul Vocal)
I knew better anyway
And now I know myself better too
Every disappointment left direction
Every wrong turn improved the view
I knew better anyway
But wisdom finally caught up with my heart
And this time
They're leaving together
Outro
No bitterness.
No revenge.
No dramatic ending.
Just understanding.
And honestly?
That's worth more than the fantasy ever was.
