Said and Seen
Look—
I ain't even mad,
that's the funny part.
You changed your password,
changed your hair, started parking way across the lot.
Baby, I'm a lot of things,
but stupid ain't one.
I knew what time it was.
I just wanted to see how long you'd run.
New dress, new friends,
new place every Friday.
Phone flipped over every time that shit vibrate.
I don't check phones,
I don't chase clues.
If I gotta play detective,
shit, I don't want you.
You said, “You're acting different.” Nah,
I'm acting fine. I stopped asking questions when the answers started lying.
And you kept getting sweeter every time you fucked up.
Funny how that works.
You don't gotta say it— I can see it in your face.
You thought you hid it good,
you just hid it way too late.
MALE: I already knew,
I just wanted you to say it.
FEMALE: Say it.
MALE: Look me in my face,
don't make me translate it.
You thought you played it cool,
I was watching how you played it.
I already knew— FEMALE: He already knew.
MALE: I just wanted you to say it.
Here's the crazy part—
I was sleeping just fine.
You were building twelve stories,
trying to keep 'em all aligned.
I was eating, making money,
living regular life. You were deleting conversations like that shit
was a job at night.
Now you're crying in the kitchen,
talking 'bout “It's complicated.” Nah.
Taxes complicated.
This is pretty fucking basic.
You wanted something different?
Cool, should've said that.
Could've saved us both some time— I don't beg,
baby, dead that.
You don't gotta chase what already walked away.
And you don't need the truth when the lie gives up the
game.
MALE: Was I supposed to lose my mind?
Throw your clothes into the street?
Call the dude?
Nah.
Tell him I said keep the receipt.
MALE: I'm good.
Still good.
Look surprised?
You shouldn't.
FEMALE: HE ALREADY KNEW!
MALE: I ALREADY KNEW,
I JUST WANTED YOU TO SAY IT.
FEMALE: SAY IT! MALE: Look me in my face,
don't make me translate it.
You thought losing you was somehow gonna break me—
Girl, I got shit to do.
You might wanna move,
yre standing in my way.
I already knew. Already knew.
I already knew.
MALE: And baby— Next time you lie...
at least make that shit interesting.
