Bulletproof (Explicit)

I don't disappear

I just lower the noise

When the room gets loud

I protect my voice

You hear silence, I hear self-control

Tryna save the bridge

Before it collapses on us both

I'm not perfect

I've tripped on my words

Had my truth doubted

Yeah that shit hurts

You saw a picture

I saw the fight ahead

Two different movies

Playing in our heads

I know how it looked

I know how it felt

Intentions clean

But the timing wasn't dealt

I should've paused

Should've slowed the pace

Considered how it landed

When it hit your space

If love is consideration

I'm still learning the math

Tryna align what I say

With the weight of my past

I don't want distance

I just want peace

A conversation

That don't come with receipts

So before we assume

Before we defend

Let me hear you out

Let me try again

You say you feel unsafe

When the words don't match

I say I feel cornered

When it turns to attack

Both tryna be heard

Both holding our breath

Both scared silence

Might mean the death

I don't need a break

I don't need escape

I need room to explain

Without being framed

You need consistency

Something you can trust

We need the same thing

We just bleed it different ways

I get why your guard stays up like that

History taught you not to relax

But don't make me the villain

In a story I didn't write

I'm standing right here

Not running tonight

If love is consideration

I'm still learning the math

Tryna align what I say

With the weight of my past

I don't want distance

I just want peace

A conversation

That don't come with receipts

So before we assume

Before we defend

Let me hear you out

Let me try again

I'll check my actions before I speak

You check the fear

Before it speaks for me

No more silence

As a weapon or blame as truth

Just two flawed people

Choosing to be bulletproof

I'm not proud of the quiet

I'm proud I didn't explode

I'm not scared of the work

Just scared we won't grow

If love's the highest

Form of consideration

Then meet me here

In honest conversation
