backup plan

Key of D; 110

[Intro]

Yeah, it’s not a breakup, it’s a rebrand,

Soft launchin’ my feelings on my close friends,

Cryin’ in the group chat, cappin’ on the ‘Gram,

But I got a spare heart like a 3-month plan.

[Verse]

You said “it’s complicated”,  that’s your code for lies,

Had a backup plan with a playlist and some fries.

Situationship? Nah, this was a sitcom,

You were cryin’ one night, next night on TikTok.

Drama Queen (Ice Queen) with a B-plot twist,

Had three drafts of the breakup text I missed.

You said "I’m healing" but tagged in a Reel,

Nah, Girl, your self-worth got an Amazon deal.

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I’m swipin’ like a ninja in a side quest,

Lookin’ for love to connect, whichever’s best.

You ghosted me mid-chat, mid-therapy,

But I got receipts, archived with clarity.

[Chorus]

Backup plan, always keep one in reserve,

‘Cause your love be swervin’ on a curve.

Say it’s vibes, but the vibe’s all fake,

You’re just playin’ hearts like it’s high school break.

Backup plan, yeah, I learned from the worst,

First we match, then detach, then rehearse.

Love ain’t dead, it’s just got poor reviews,

But I got a clone lined up, just in case it’s you.

[Verse 2]

You said "I’m not ready for something real,"

But your Hinge bio reads “No fakes, just feel.”

Had a list of red flags like it’s Bingo,

You said, “don’t chase, but stalked me like dingo.

I gave you memes, dreams, emotional lore,

You gave me vibes, then walked out the door.

Now I’m in my feels like a sad-boy king,

But I still got three girls from your close-ring.

[Pre-Chorus]

Told you “no hard feelings,” I was lyin’,

Listened to Frank Ocean while internally dyin’.

But "Boys" don’t cry, I just rebrand pain,

New haircut, soft block, then hop on a plane.

[Chorus]

Backup plan, always keep one in reserve,

‘Cause your love be swervin’ on a curve.

Say it’s vibes, but the vibe’s all fake,

You’re just playin’ hearts like it’s high school break.

Backup plan, yeah, I learned from the worst,

First we match, then detach, then rehearse.

Love ain’t dead, it’s just got poor reviews, 

But I got a clone lined up, just in case it’s you.

[Instrumental Pause]

[Rap Bridge]

"U up?" at 2 AM ain't romance, it's roulette,

Snapstreak love, now it’s time to reset.

You got four “besties”,  I met one and run,

But they all knew we were done before I was done.

We post “I’m fine” with a cryptic quote,

Then cry to a playlist we didn’t even vote.

You soft-launched him with a blurry pic,

Now I’m hard-launchin’ grief with a petty diss track, quick.

[Pre-Chorus]

Told you “no hard feelings,” I was lyin’,

Listened to Frank Ocean while internally dyin’.

But "Boys" don’t cry, we just rebrand pain,

New haircut, soft block, then hop on a plane.

[Final Chorus]

Backup plan, always keep one in reserve,

‘Cause your love be swervin’ on a curve.

Say it’s vibes, but the vibe’s all fake,

You’re just playin’ hearts like it’s high school break.

Backup plan, yeah, I learned from the worst,

First we match, then detach, then rehearse.

Love ain’t dead, it’s just got poor reviews, 

But I got a clone lined up, just in case it’s you.

Backup plan, always keep one in reserve,

Backup plan, always need one to preserve.

Backup plan, always keep one, I deserve,

Backup plan, always need one to conserve.

[Outro]

So here's to the love that’s part-time, unpaid,

With a backup plan like it’s Lemonade.

You ain’t my forever, just a vibe on the way,

So I archived your chat like a resume.
