Title: "The Note, The Pain, The Breakup" (Verse 1) Back in fourth grade, I was feeling all shy, Writing that note, watchin' time fly by, Hands shaking, heart racing, I could barely speak, But I handed it over, hope I wasn’t weak. Sophie said yes, I thought it was fate, But little did I know, love would turn to hate. She’d laugh at my pain, make me feel small, Had me second guessing if I was worth it at all. (Pre-Chorus) She’d push me around, played me like a game, Told me I was nothing, but kept saying my name. I thought it was love, but it felt like a trap, I was stuck in the hurt, couldn’t escape the gap. (Chorus) I gave you my heart, and you tore it apart, You promised me forever, but you broke it from the start. Now I'm stronger, I'm better, I can breathe again, Thanks to a friend who showed me how to end this pain. (Verse 2) Then came the fifth grade, everything changed, Met a dude named Alex, he was kind of strange, But he had my back, knew how to see through, He said, "Man, forget Sophie, she’s holding you." I was scared to break it off, but he made me see, I didn’t need her, I needed to be free. "Take the step, break up, you don’t owe her a thing," I stood up tall, felt like I had wings. (Pre-Chorus) So I wrote the words, heart pounding loud, Told Sophie, "It's over," standing my ground. She tried to fight back, but I didn’t flinch, 'Cause I knew I was done, no need to be pinned. (Chorus) I gave you my heart, and you tore it apart, You promised me forever, but you broke it from the start. Now I'm stronger, I'm better, I can breathe again, Thanks to a friend who showed me how to end this pain. (Rap Part) Yo, I was just a kid, tryna figure it out, But you played me dirty, got me twisted in doubt. Thought I needed you, thought I was alone, But now I see clearly, I’m better on my own. Sophie, you played games, made me feel weak, But I learned real quick that ain’t what love means. Alex showed me strength, yeah, that’s my man, Taught me to walk, while you kept me in quicksand. I was scared to leave, but now I see, That was the best thing I could ever do for me. You tried to hurt me, tried to break me down, But I’m standing tall now, no more messing around. From the fourth grade pain to the fifth grade rise, Now I’m looking at life with open eyes. (Chorus) I gave you my heart, and you tore it apart, You promised me forever, but you broke it from the start. Now I'm stronger, I'm better, I can breathe again, Thanks to a friend who showed me how to end this pain. (Bridge) No more tears, no more regret, I’m free from the chains that you left. I’m standing tall, I’m walking proud, The old me’s gone, I’m done with that crowd. (Chorus) I gave you my heart, and you tore it apart, You promised me forever, but you broke it from the start. Now I'm stronger, I'm better, I can breathe again, Thanks to a friend who showed me how to end this pain. (Outro) So here's to the past, the hurt, and the fight, I’m free now, Sophie, I’m alright. Thanks, Alex, for showing me the way, And to this day, I’m better, I’m okay.
