Yeah…
Just a screen between us.
Or so I thought.
3 A.M., the city’s dead, but the blue light’s alive
Scrollin’ through the static, tryna feel something real
Then you popped up, pixel-perfect smile
Said you liked my vibe, said you stayed up for miles
We traded secrets in the DMs, no names, just heat
You said, “Baby, show me what you hide beneath”
I hit record, heart racin’, lost in the haze
Sent it over, thought we were startin’ a phase
But the next morning? Silence. No good morning text
Just a screenshot of my face, and a ransom request.
My stomach dropped faster than the connection did
You weren’t a lover, you were a kid
With a script and a wallet full of my mistakes
Now I’m starin’ at the ceiling, wide awake.
Oh, I fell for the glow, now I’m haunted by the ghost
Of a girl who never existed, just a server coast
You took my pride, took my cash, left me in the cold
Sold my darkest moment for digital gold
Now every notification sounds like a warning bell
Dancin’ with a shadow in this neon hell
Yeah, I paid for the fantasy, now I’m payin’ the cost
For lovin’ a pixel that was already lost.
Look, I should’ve known when the camera never turned on
Always “broken lens,” always “wait ‘til the dawn”
But the dopamine hit was stronger than the red flags
Now I’m countin’ up the damage while my confidence lags
They say, “Pay or we post,” put my life on display
Blackmail artist with a filter and a line to say
I’m checkin’ my bank, it’s bleedn’ out dry
While you’re probably laughin’ in some other guy’s eye
This ain’t love, it’s a heist with a heartbeat sound
Left my reputation buried underground
Should’ve swiped left, should’ve closed the tab
Now I’m navigatin’ shame like a booby-trapped lab.
Was it ever real? Or just code in the wire?
Did you feel anything, or just fuel for the fire?
I’m deletin’ the app, but the memory stays
Burned into the retina, stuck in the maze
Stuck in the maaaaaze!
