Read the lyric sheet

Intro

(808s rumble low, atmospheric synth shimmer)

Spoken

Look, I ain't tryna be nostalgic, but Sometimes you lose yourself chasing somebody else And when they gone, you realize You ain't missing them, you missing YOU

Verse 1

(Trap hi-hats enter, crisp snare) I don't miss your face, I miss the fire I had before Used to chase my dreams, now I'm staring at the floor You took my confidence and wore it like a chain Now I'm picking up the pieces in the pouring rain I was fearless back then, used to talk my truth Now I'm second-guessing everything, what happened to my youth? I gave you all my light until I couldn't see Now the ghost inside my mirror don't look nothing like me

Pre-chorus

(Bass drops out, just melody and vocals) I don't miss you, I miss who I was Before the late nights turned my heart to dust I don't miss you, I miss my own trust Time to resurrect the man I lost

Chorus

(Full 808 drop, hard trap drums, anthemic) I don't miss you, I miss who I was before When ambition had me running through every open door I don't miss your love, I miss my own flame You took my identity, now I'm taking back my name (Echoed) Taking back my name, taking back my name

Verse 2

(Pulling back, subdued production) I was bold, I was bright, I was lightning in a bottle Now I'm cautious with my words like I'm walking on the gravel You dimmed my shine so slow I didn't notice the change Traded all my innocence for someone else's chains I used to laugh out loud, now I barely crack a smile Used to run full speed, now I'm crawling every mile You didn't break my heart, nah, that ain't what you did You erased the blueprint of the person that I lived

Pre-chorus

(Atmospheric pause, vocal spotlight) I don't miss you, I miss who I was Before the red flags got mistaken for love I don't miss you, I miss my own buzz Time to find the man I gave up

Chorus

(808s hit harder, layered vocals) I don't miss you, I miss who I was before When ambition had me running through every open door I don't miss your love, I miss my own flame You took my identity, now I'm taking back my name (Ad-lib) Yeah, I'm taking it all back, every piece

Bridge

(Stripped to just piano and whispered vocals) (Whispered, building) They say heartbreak hurts, but this pain cuts deeper Missing who I was when I was a believer I was whole before you, I'mma whole again But first I gotta face the ghost of where I've been

Verse 3

(Full production returns, triumphant energy) Now I'm standing in the rubble building monuments To the version of myself who had the confidence Every scar you left became a lesson I could learn I don't need your love, I need my spirit to return I'm reclaiming all the dreams that I left on your shelf Finding God inside the mirror, falling back in love with self You can keep the memories, I'm keeping what I found The man I was before you wore my patience down

Pre-chorus

(Building intensity, stacked harmonies) I don't miss you, I miss who I was Before your toxicity became my buzz I don't miss you, I miss my own power This my resurrection hour [Chorus] x2 (Full sonic explosion, layered trap production) I don't miss you, I miss who I was before When ambition had me running through every open door I don't miss your love, I miss my own flame You took my identity, now I'm taking back my name (Double time) Taking back my name, yeah I'm taking back my name

Outro

(808s fade, ethereal synth swell) (Reflective spoken word) To everyone who lost themselves in someone else This ain't about them, this about you finding you again Look in the mirror, meet yourself for the first time (Beat cuts hard) And never let nobody dim your light
