[Verse 1]
I got two voices talking every time that I breathe
One says stay strong, other says just leave
Head full of logic, heart stuck in a loop
Tryna piece it together but i'm losing the truth
You said it was nothing, but your eyes said more
Now i'm stuck replaying every word from before
If it wasn't real, why it still feels tense?
Guess i'm living every day in dissonance
[Chorus]
Cognitive dissonance, tearing me apart
War in my head, yeah, war in my heart
Every truth twisted, i'm losing control
Two different versions are splitting my soul
Cognitive dissonance, i'm ready to break
If this is real, then tell me what's fake
[Verse 2]
I look in the mirror, don't know who I see
A version of you that’s replaced the old me
I’m defending your name while I’m feeling the sting
Convincing my mind you’re the right kind of thing
It’s a bitter pill when the sugar wears off
Tryna look tough when I know that I’m soft
I’m holding the flame 'til my fingers are charred
How’s the love feel so easy but being here so hard?
[Chorus]
Cognitive dissonance, tearing me apart
War in my head, yeah, war in my heart
Every truth twisted, i'm losing control
Two different versions are splitting my soul
Cognitive dissonance, i'm ready to break
If this is real, then tell me what's fake
[Verse 3]
You walk right past like I’m a stranger now
But I’m replayin’ every look, every word that you said
You’re keepin’ it quiet, but the silence is loud
Messin' with the logic inside of my head
Eyes to the ground every time that I’m near
Like you’re terrified the truth’s gonna surface to light
You’re hidin’ the guilt, I’m holdin’ the fear
Stuck in the rupture of a losin’ fight
[Chorus]
Cognitive dissonance, tearing me apart
War in my head, yeah, war in my heart
Every truth twisted, i'm losing control
Two different versions are splitting my soul
Cognitive dissonance, i'm ready to break
If this is real, then tell me what's fake
