Yeah…
Chorus
Feelings hit different when nobody around
They crawl in my chest, make no sound
I try to bury them deep in the ground
But feelings don’t stay buried, they come back around
Feelings… feelings…
They don’t ask permission, they just take the crown
Feelings… feelings…
Right now they got me drownin’
Verse 1
I wake up and the first thing I feel is your absence
Like a hole in the air where your presence used to dance
I scroll through old messages, read them like scripture
Every “good morning” now feels like a picture
Of something that died but the ghost still lingers
I smile for the camera, but inside I’m fingers
Clutching the edge so I don’t fall deeper
Feelings don’t lie, they just make you a keeper
Of pain you didn’t sign up to hold
Of stories that ended before they got told
Pre-Chorus
I tell my boys “I’m good, I’m fine”
But the mirror knows I’m lyin’ every time
Feelings don’t care about pride or the mask
They come when they want, they don’t ever ask
Chorus
Feelings hit different when nobody around
They crawl in my chest, make no sound
I try to bury them deep in the ground
But feelings don’t stay buried, they come back around
Feelings… feelings…
They don’t ask permission, they just take the crown
Feelings… feelings…
Right now they got me drownin’
Verse 2
Some days I feel nothing, just empty and cold
Like the battery died and the screen went black bold
Other days they rush in like Lagos traffic jam
Horn blaring loud, no space to plan
I feel the love I never got back
Feel the trust that cracked like pavement crack
Feel the anger I swallow to keep the peace
Feel the weight of the words I never released
I’m tired of pretending I don’t care
But feelings don’t vanish, they just change their hair
Bridge
Maybe one day I’ll learn how to feel without breaking
How to let go without my whole soul shaking
Till then I sit with them, let them speak
Even when the words cut too deep
‘Cause feelings are proof that I’m still alive
Even when surviving feels like a fight
Chorus (last time – stripped to almost whisper + faint vocal layers)
Feelings hit different when nobody around…
They crawl… they crawl… no sound…
I try to bury… but they come back around…
Feelings… feelings…
They got the crown…
Right now… they got me drownin’…
Outro
Hi Ekomdo…
Feelings still here…
Yeah…
Drownin’ slow…
Fade with rain…
