CATCH

CATCH [INTRO – Soft, haunting vocals] You throw, I fall. You leave, I crawl. You call, I come. How long 'til I learn? [VERSE 1] You said, "Come over," half past ten, I crossed the bridge to you again. You met me smiling at the door, Like I was all you waited for. You said you hated being tied, But pulled me back each time I tried. Then told your friends we weren't a thing, I saw their looks when we walked in. [PRE-CHORUS – Building tension] Each time I turned around to leave, You gave me something to believe. But when I reached for what you said, You'd make me chase it down again. [CHORUS – Explosive, melodic] You called it Catch, I played ya game. You left me dry, you left me hang. You kissed me once, then walked away, I lost a week inside that day. You called at two, I took the bait, By dawn, you said it was too late. You called it Catch, I played ya game. You never planned to do the same. [POST-CHORUS – Rhythmic, infectious] Catch me, catch me, watch me fall. You never meant to catch at all. Call me, call me, one more time. Just to leave me on the line. [VERSE 2] Your screen lit up across the bed, His name was one you never said. You told me he was just a friend, Then wore his jacket out again. You begged me not to make a scene, But never begged for you and me. You asked me not to tell a soul, As if I owed you that control. [PRE-CHORUS – Cold, restrained] I used to wait outside your door, You won't find me there anymore. You didn't want a love to keep, You wanted someone losing sleep. [CHORUS – Full energy] You called it Catch, I played ya game. You left me dry, you left me hang. You kissed me once, then walked away, I lost a week inside that day. You called at two, I took the bait, By dawn, you said it was too late. You called it Catch, I played ya game. You never planned to do the same. [BRIDGE – Stripped-back, intimate] Now when you throw, I let it fall. No final catch, no curtain call. You wanted proof I'd always come. Now here's the proof that I am done. [FINAL CHORUS – Full instrumentation] You called it Catch, I played ya game. You left me dry, you left me hang. You kissed me once, then walked away, I lost a week inside that day. You called at two, I took the bait, By dawn, you said it was too late. You called it Catch, I played ya game. You never planned to do the same. [OUTRO – Quiet, fading] Now when you call, I let it ring. That silence says the whole damn thing.
