Play me twice - Nia Nkuna
You only call when it's too late
Like I forgot how you played last May
You swear you're different but that's your line
Heard it before, second times not mine
You had my heart then hit rewind
Love the chase but not the climb
You say you're sorry but with no proof
I'm not the girl who falls for half truths
You want the heat without the burn
Say the words but never learn
Act like love is some routine
But I'm not just your in-between
Play me once and I might forgive
But play me twice that's not how I live
You took your shot then threw it fast
Now I'm the best thing in your past
You want me now when I've moved on
But baby that ship's way gone
You lost your chance, now pay the price
I don't let someone play me twice
You liked me better when I stayed quiet
Now I talk back and you call it defiant
But I won't shrink to keep you close
I'm not your fix, I'm not your ghost
I was all in, you were maybe
Now you're the one who calls me crazy
But I'm just real and that's too much
For someone scared of honest touch
You missed the girl who gave you grace
But I grew sharp in that space
Now I wear heartbreak like a crown
And I don't let boys pull me down
Play me once and I might forgive
But play me twice that's not how I live
You took your shot then threw it fast
Now I'm the best thing in your past
You want me now when I've moved on
But baby that ship's way gone
You lost your voice and all your lies
And I don't let someone play me twice
I was gold, you saw glass
Now you're scrolling through the past
But I don't break where I once bent
I'm the girl you won't forget
Play me once and I might feel bad
But play me twice, you'll wish you had
Loved me right when I was near
Now I'm the one you fear
You want a second shot, too late
I closed that door, sealed your fate
I rise, I heal, I cut those ties
And I don't let someone play me twice
I don't let someone play me twice
