Just Casual

You’re standing tall, pretending you’ve won
But I see the cracks, the damage you’ve done
Whispers sweet as a lullaby
But I know better, I won’t comply

Are you fine now?
Are you better?
Your breath’s no longer trapped in my hands
You told me things that felt like art
But I'm no fool, not by a long strand

I’ve heard it all, I’ve seen the show
Falling for you was just for show
You think you’ve got me in your net
But I'm the one you’ll never forget

You played your part, but I saw through
All your tricks, nothing new
Just casual, no strings attached
A fleeting flame, never matched

You said those words wrapped up in gold
They sounded nice but felt so cold
I'm a wise one, been through it all
I’ve seen every rise, felt every fall

You told me things beautiful like poetry
But I'm an old monkey, don’t you see
I know all those tricks, every lie
I'm the best magician in this city, no need to try

I’ve heard it all, I’ve seen the show
Falling for you was just for show
You think you’ve got me in your net
But I'm the one you’ll never forget

You played your part, but I saw through
All your tricks, nothing new
Just casual, no strings attached
A fleeting flame, never matched

I almost fell, but my mind pulled back
The ghosts of my past kept me on track
You thought you’d win, with your charm so bright
But I'm still standing, ready to fight

You played your part, but I saw through
All your tricks, nothing new
Just casual, no strings attached
A fleeting flame, never matched
