Girl Disconnected

You handed me a manual, said "Read the study guide"

Said this is how to keep the peace, and keep the tears inside

I'm looking for the logic, I'm looking for the way

But you change the destination every single day

You say you want the safety, you say you want the soft

But every time I speak the truth, you try to turn it off

You call it being honest, I call it being rude

Why we always dancing in this bitter mood?

You tell me "Baby, lead me, let me rest my head"

But how I gonna lead when you ten steps ahead? (Ten steps ahead!)

You fighting for the wheel while you sitting in the back

Now we swerving off the road, fading to black

What is the disconnect? (Disconnect!)

Tell me, what is the disconnect? (Disconnect!)

You say the weight is heavy, then you take it back

You rewriting history, covering your track

Is it an illusion? Is it fear?

One thing is certain, the truth is not here!

You shift the reality, you twist the plot

I'm reading the script, girl, look at what we got! (What is the disconnect!)

Let's go!

Now let's talk about the fire, let's talk about that night

You stepped into the ring, looking for a fight

You woke up the giant, didn't seem to care

Then you say "I felt the blame," like it wasn't fair (Don't do that!)

I check you on the facts, put the mirror in your face

Suddenly you innocent, pleading your case

"I didn't mean it like that, I didn't mean to blame"

Girl, you playing with the words, it's a dangerous game

You talking 'bout the breadcrumbs? Or you want the loaf?

You want a real partner? Or you want a ghost?

You keeping up the score, checking the receipt

But love is not a transaction, love is not a sheet

I cannot protect you if you holding the knife

I cannot be the leader if you running my life

(Bring the beat back!)

I catch you in the middle of the web you spin

I show you what you wrote, and then you start again

"I never said that!"—but the ink is wet

You trying to make me doubt the things I won't forget

You say the onus is yours, then you push it away

Retroactive vision, changing yesterday

You want to be the victim and the hero too

But I got the receipts, yeah, I see right through!

You weaponize the silence, then you fill the void

A master of the chaos that you just deployed

You asked for patience, so I gave you time

Then you called it "distance"—suddenly a crime?

See, you manipulate the context to fit the mood

You starving for attention but you spill the food

You say you want a rock, but then you cast a stone

You burn the very structure that we call a home

I'm auditing the books, looking at the cost

You focused on the battle, but the war is lost.

I'm trying to decode the frequency

But you broadcasting on a different wave

You cut the wire, then you ask "Why can't you hear me?"

You dig the hole, then you ask "Who made this grave?"

It's revisionist history, you crop the frame

You keep all of the glory but you outsource the blame

You claiming that you drowning but you holding the hose

You poisoning the water where the garden grows!

I offer you an olive branch, you snap the wood

Misunderstanding me for your own good

You terrified of peace because it makes you look inside

So you start another fire just to have a place to hide!

No more validation for the lies you spin

I'm stepping out the circle, I'm not playing it again!

What is the disconnect? (Disconnect!)

Tell me, what is the disconnect? (Disconnect!)

You say the weight is heavy, then you take it back

You rewriting history, covering your track

Is it an illusion? Is it fear?

One thing is certain, the truth is not here!

You shift the reality, you twist the plot

I'm reading the script, girl, look at what we got! (What is the disconnect!)

Yeah. Stop editing the live feed.

The footage doesn't lie.

Disconnect.
