Yeah, mmm
It’s just a name, right?
But it feels like losing you
I’m standing in the court today
Got these papers in my hand
Writing down a future
Where I don't fit in your plan
I was Matthew Bamidele Joseph
That's who I was when you were mine
Now I’m cutting off the ending
Trying to leave it all behind
I’m dropping the name, yeah
Breaking the link to the days we shared
Oh, Matthew Bamidele, that’s all that’s left
Since you stopped acting like you cared
It’s just an affidavit, baby
But it feels like a funeral for us
I’m dropping the name, moving on
Turning all our love to dust
I remember how you whispered it
Late nights in the dark of your room
Now those syllables just sting me
Like a ghost inside this gloom
All the records say it’s valid
Everything I was, it’s still the same
But the man who loved you truly
Doesn't recognize his name
I’m dropping the name, yeah
Breaking the link to the days we shared
Oh, Matthew Bamidele, that’s all that’s left
Since you stopped acting like you cared
It’s just an affidavit, baby
But it feels like a funeral for us
I’m dropping the name, moving on
Turning all our love to dust
Commissioner for Oaths, sign the page
Seal the end of this empty stage
I’m not the man you left behind
I’m just a memory you couldn't find
Oh, I need you, but I’m letting go
Deep in the heart of Lagos, moving slow
So here I am, just Matthew now
No Joseph, no connection to your heart
It’s a clean slate, a quiet promise
Even though I’m falling apart
Sworn to the truth, yeah I’m done
No more games, no more pain
Just a single man standing
Trying to hide away the rain
I’m dropping the name, yeah
Breaking the link to the days we shared
Oh, Matthew Bamidele, that’s all that’s left
Since you stopped acting like you cared
It’s just an affidavit, baby
But it feels like a funeral for us
I’m dropping the name, moving on
Turning all our love to dust
Yeah, Matthew Bamidele
Just a name on a page
I’m walking out, mmm
I’m turning the page
Come here, heart
It’s over now
