Create a psychedelic rock song with a medieval baroque influence, similar to ‘Golden Brown’ by The Stranglers. Use a harpsichord or similar plucked keyboard for the main melody, layered over brushed drums in 3/4 or 6/8 time. Add soft, melancholic female vocals with cryptic and poetic lyrics. The mood should be dreamy, nostalgic, and slightly surreal — like wandering through a Renaissance fair in a lucid dream.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
You said you’d call by ten, I stayed up just in case
Checked my phone like it meant something
I took the long way home, past where we used to skate
Thought I saw you — turned out to be nothing
♪
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m tired of waiting on someone who’s good at pretending
You burn the bridge, then ask how I’m mending
♪
(Chorus)
Don’t play me like I’m heartless
You know I feel too much
I just don’t say it out loud
You left me in the silence
Then asked me why I’m cold
What do you want from me now?
♪
(Verse 2)
I bite my tongue so hard, it almost feels like truth
You love to spin it back on me
Like I made you act so cruel
You always wanted someone
Who wouldn’t talk too deep
Now you miss the parts of me
You made me kill to keep
♪
(Bridge)
You don’t get to knock, not after you ghosted
You don’t get tears when you chose to be distant
Now I’m the one you only miss in slow songs
But I ain’t the type to wait that long
♪
(Final Chorus)
Don’t play me like I’m heartless
You know I feel too much
I just don’t beg you to stay
You left me in the silence
Then called me yesterday
Now I don’t care what you say
