Contemporary R&B
About
Soulful melodies glide over groovy basslines and syncopated drums, amplifying the raw ache of betrayal with emotional ad-libs that pierce the heart. Layered vocals and subtle 808s craft a polished, intimate groove, blending neo-soul intimacy with modern trap-infused rhythms for an urban confessional vibe. The production builds tension through smooth synth swells, resolving in a haunting bridge that echoes lingering pain.
Lyrics
Soft shadows linger where we used to lay Heartbeats fading into yesterday I felt your hands trace every secret line Skin on skin, we danced in stolen time You swore forever in the heat of night But your eyes hid shadows out of sight Every touch was laced with sweet deceit Pulling me closer while you planned retreat Betrayal cuts deeper than any blade You built this fire, then watched it fail Now I'm torn apart and you broke through my soul My soul, my soul Shattered my heart Late calls I answer without doubt Without voice, voice or melody But fingers crossed, hind your tender smile You slipped away after just a while Every kiss was painted with goodbye Left me drowning in this endless why Betrayal cuts deeper than any blade You built this fire, then watched it fail Now I'm torn apart and you broke through my soul My soul, my soul Shattered my heart Now I'm standing in the ruins we made Of us in the mess you laid No chains to bind Or rise from ashes you've left behind Betrayal cuts deeper than any blade You built this fire, then watched it fail Now I'm torn apart and you broke through my soul My soul, my soul Shattered my heart Yeah, you broke it all Goodbye forever, watch me stand tall
