Hangover Heart — FlowTiva

Intro

Sun in the blinds like a cop at the door (ugh)
Mouth like cotton, bass still in my skull
Shoes in the sink, keys on the kitchen floor
I hit the light and hate what I recall (yeah)

Verse 1

Receipts like confetti, my card crying blood (damn)
Timeline in fragments, Im scrolling the flood
Your missed calls stacked between jokes and a shrug
Voice notes of me talking tough to a mug
Uber map crooked like I ran from the law
Lip print on my sleeve, I dont know who at all
Neighbors complained, I laughed, played the star
Left with a cheer, woke up with a scar

Pre-Chorus

Too loud, too proud, too deep in the cup
Swore I was real while I kept making it up
If that was joy, whys it taste like a cut?
Morning truth wont let me bluff (mmm)

Chorus

I woke with a HANGOVER HEART, beating hard in the dark
Stains on the carpet and shame on my art
If I loved who I was, why do I tear it apart?
I DONT LIKE WHO I WAS AT 3 A.M., THAT PART
Now Im sippin on water and swallowing pride
Typing Im sorry with shaking replies
If I make it to noon, Im making it right
But this hangover heart still holds me too tight

Verse 2

Club stamp on my wrist spelling out her name
Said we should talk then forgot what I meant
Spilled gin on your shoes, tried to laugh off the stain
Danced on a table like rent came and went
Mom called at 2:10, I let it ring out (phone buzz)
Posted a story, woke up, deleted the route
Text threads a minefield, Im reading it slow
Saw where I flexed and you wrote, thats low

Pre-Chorus

I was that joke, that smoke, five-dollar king
Plastic crown tilted with no second wind
If thats a win, whys my chest feel thin?
Need a quiet just to hear my friend (deep breath)

Chorus

HANGOVER HEART, beating hard in the dark
Red-eyed mirror shows a question mark
If I loved who I was, whyd I tear it apart?
I WONT BE THAT 3 A.M. VERSION, I SWEAR TO START
Now Im sippin on water and swallowing pride
Typing Im sorry with shaking replies
If I make it to noon, Im making it right
But this hangover heart is loud as a siren tonight

Bridge

Pour coffee like penance, no sugar today (soft laugh)
Reread your name, then I start to pray
Drafted you safe? backspaced it away
Dial tone humming, I let it play
Rooms still a mess but I fold what I can
Voice in my head says, be a better man

Outro

Bag up the bottles, let sunlight in (alright)
Call you for real, not a drunk violin
If you pick up, Ill own every line
If you dont, Ill learn from last nights design
Step out the door with a careful start
Still carrying light and a hangover heart
