Verse 1:
I saw you in a crowded room, just yesterday,
Your smile caught the light, took my breath away.
A whispered charm, a fleeting glance,
Felt like the world was giving me a second chance.
Chorus:
But oh, what’s this?
You act so cool, making heartstrings twist.
You said you wanted something light,
But my heart didn’t get the memo that night.
Verse 2:
We’d laugh beneath the starry skies,
Every touch just set my soul on fire.
The way you brushed my hair aside,
Another moment and I’m losing my pride.
Pre-Chorus:
But now it’s here, that sinking thought,
You want the casual, but I guess I forgot.
Caught in this fantasy, falling so deep,
How did it happen? Now I can’t sleep.
Chorus:
But oh, what’s this?
You act so cool, making heartstrings twist.
You said you wanted something light,
But my heart didn’t get the memo that night.
Bridge:
I’ll play the games, like I’m all okay,
But every time I see you, I’m swept away.
Your excuses spin like a broken record,
Don’t they see that love is worth the effort?
Chorus:
But oh, what’s this?
You act so cool, making heartstrings twist.
You said you wanted something light,
But my heart didn’t get the memo that night.
Outro:
So here I am, pretending I’m not mad,
When every moment with you makes me feel rad.
Caught in this dance, of love and despair,
You’re just an excuse, but I swear, I care.

write a song that sounds like a mix between conan gray, billie eillish, and chappel roann. (i want the vibes of billie and chappel, like slow and romantic and sing songey) but the catchy and clever writing as conan). have it be about the feeling of realizing your falling in love. but make it start slow with shorter lines and build up faster, because at first youre embracing and happy that you're in love and you're adoring a person who just came into your life, but then youre like oh wait, he wanted casual, i'm not supposed to fall in love. and then have a bridge be catchy, very similar to conan gray (the superache and kid krow album) about having to pretend youre not madly and totally in love with them and be kinda mad that they have excuses as to why you can't be together and how you think excuses shouldn't matter if love was involved
