Heeleepoyas

ORIGINAL SONG (NOT A COVER) I never woke up saying I’d be the bad guy Just thought I was sharp, yeah, a straight-line reply “No time for nonsense,” that’s what I’d say While pushing everybody slowly away They called me honest, I heard “I’m right” Turned every wrong into someone else’s fight Didn’t see the silence building in the room Didn’t hear the distance, didn’t feel the doom If you’re offended, that’s on you If I’m offended, you crossed a line too Maybe I’m not what I thought I was Maybe I’m just a heeleepoyas Hiding behind every brutal truth Like it’s a shield I can’t see through Maybe the world isn’t all to blame Maybe I’m playing a losing game And every bridge that I burned just shows I was a heeleepoyas Coffee breaks without my name Conversations dying when I came Left on read, doors closing slow Still I told myself, “they just don’t know” It was easier to call it envy Than face the mirror staring at me Every joke that cut too deep Every promise I didn’t keep Truth ain’t truth when it’s used like a knife Cutting everyone out of your life Maybe I’m not what I thought I was Maybe I’m just a heeleepoyas Dressing up pride as clarity But it’s just fear staring back at me Maybe the cracks are finally showing Every word I threw keeps echoing And all the damage nobody chose I was a heeleepoyas One voice cut through all my noise Said, “You don’t listen, you just destroy” No clever line, no comeback plan Just silence where I used to stand There in the space I couldn’t fill Met a version of me I didn’t want but will Learn to stop, learn to hear Learn that I don’t disappear If I let someone else be real No excuses, no disguise No more hiding in my own lies I’m not who I thought I was Yeah, I was a heeleepoyas But I can change what I choose to do Even if it feels untrue Every word that I hold back now Every time I just allow Someone else to take the floor I’m not that man anymore Didn’t fall, didn’t crash, didn’t break apart Just learned to listen… and that’s a start --- Music generated using aimusicgen AI under commercial license.
