about

i took the "and they were roommates" trope and turned it into musical fiction.

lyrics

As I stop to think about all of the thoughts I have
I stand and stare at myself in the mirror, tryna make it clearer
Why I always want you nearer, when you're the closest thing I got to me
Back and forth, I toss the words inside my head again
They linger coldly and they make themselves louder when she's over
Why must I be undercover, tryna hide the hate I have for

Her
How is she the one that has your heart
How was I not casted as the part
I had a three month head start
But I guess I waited too long across the hall

You brought her over for the party and she's got your hand
I'm downing Solo after Solo cup of something Jackie made me
I told her make it strong, won't mind the taste when
All I taste is bitter cause

She
She's the one that gets to have your heart
She's the one that's casted as your counterpart
Even though I had a head start
I guess I waited too long across the hall

Across the hall, I sit in silence as I kick myself again
Oh, why did I not go over and tell you I want to be more than just friends
I don't have a chance anymore
Now the door is shut and I am a muck
And jealous of your girl

Oh, cause she
She's the one that gets to have your heart
She's the one that's casted as your counterpart
What's the use of having a head start
If I'm using to wait across the hall
Across the hall
