Nothing playing

Streetlights bleedin' gold on the pavement, same old view
But somethin' ain't the same, been a while since I saw you
Remember scraped knees on the asphalt, sharing dreams in the park
Now the only thing I'm sharing is the silence in the dark
Used to sneak out windows, you and me, under the moon
Now I see your face on a screen, singin' a different tune
Phone screen bright, a wedding ring gleamin' on your hand
And a little one's smile, makin' me understand.
Thought we were forever, a childhood pact sealed tight
Now you got a picket fence, bathed in a brand new light.
The corners of my lips curve, but the ache stays deep within
Seein' you complete, where do I even begin?
Used to call you mine, from the block, the days of 13
Now you a whole wife, a whole mother, livin' a different scene
Got that happy glow, the husband by your side, a life I didn't build
My heart plays a sad song, the echo of what's been spilled.
Yeah, my heart plays a sad song, the echo of what's been spilled.
Remember trading mixtapes, secrets whispered low?
Now I see your photos, watchin' your garden grow
Tiny booties in the frame, a lullaby you hum
While I'm stuck in this concrete maze, feelin' numb.
The way you used to laugh, like wind chimes in the breeze
Now it's a different melody, puttin' my soul at ease
To see you so content, not a single trace of doubt
But a part of me still lingers, tryin' to figure it out.
Used to call you mine, from the block, the days of 13
Now you a whole wife, a whole mother, livin' a different scene
Got that happy glow, the husband by your side, a life I didn't build
My heart plays a sad song, the echo of what's been spilled.
Yeah, my heart plays a sad song, the echo of what's been spilled.
This ain't no jealousy, just a ghost of what we were
A memory burnin' slow, a soft and hazy blur.
I wouldn't change a thing, I wish you nothin' but the best
But this ache in my chest, puts my resilience to the test.
Used to call you mine, from the block, the days of 13
Now you a whole wife, a whole mother, livin' a different scene
Got that happy glow, the husband by your side, a life I didn't build
My heart plays a sad song, the echo of what's been spilled.
Yeah, my heart plays a sad song, the echo of what's been spilled
