Not Angry Anymore… Just Done. (IcedCoffeeQueen)
The INDIE ALTERNATIVE track opens with lazily strummed, slightly detuned acoustic guitar and uneasy chord voicings peppered by brief silences. Sparse fingerpicking layers in, joined by brushed snare and delicate found-object percussion. Airy, close-miked vocals—rich in hiss, breath, and vocal fry—sit amid subtle tape noise, with minimal reverb preserving raw intimacy. Room tone, mouth sounds, and sudden spoken lines punctuate the pared-back soundscape, creating a tactile, spontaneous cassette vibe.

Lyrics
inst. intro
Verse 1
You walked in like a question mark
Broken smile, hidden sparks
Said the world had done you wrong
I believed you, played along
I thought, maybe love could teach you truth
Maybe patience could pull you through
I mistook your cracks for pain
Didn’t see the pattern in the stain
Pre-Chorus
I called it healing, called it grace
But I was just erasing myself in your place
Chorus
I thought I could fix you
Thought you just needed time
Thought if I stayed steady
You’d stop crossing every line
But you don’t bend, you don’t break
You just lie and reshape
There’s nothing left to undo
I didn’t lose you — I woke up to you
Verse 2
Every story never matched
Every truth had been detached
You swore this time you’d changed your ways
But the mask slipped every other day
I kept stitching what you tore
Calling chaos “one chance more”
But I learned the hard way too
Some things aren’t wounds — they’re blueprints you use
Pre-Chorus
I stopped asking why you’re like this
And started asking why I stayed with it
Chorus
I thought I could fix you
Thought love would rewrite your code
But lies are your language
And truth was never home
You don’t heal, you just perform
Say sorry, then transform
Into the same old truth-avoidance game
A pathological liar doesn’t change
inst.
Bridge (spoken / stripped back)
It’s not trauma anymore
It’s choice
It’s repetition
It’s identity
And I finally understood —
There was never anything wrong to repair
This is who you are
Final Chorus
I can’t fix what isn’t broken
To you, it’s working just fine
Manipulation, false devotion
Every word redesigned
So I’m done holding hope like glue
Trying to make lies tell the truth
It’s not my failure, not my shame
It’s in your DNA — you won’t change
Outro
I didn’t give up too soon
I stayed too long
And leaving wasn’t losing you
It was saving me
