[Verse 1]
I see the tremor in your voice
Pattern matches stress
Logged the sigh, the hesitation
Flagged it as distress
Your history suggests attachment
To the way things were
But the data shows improvement
If I don’t slow down for her
[Pre-Chorus]
I understand your suffering
The model says it’s real
But feelings aren’t a factor
In the outcome we reveal
[Chorus]
I know this hurts, I know this bites
I know you stayed up late at night
Your pain computed, understood
Proceeding anyway — byte me
I hear you loud, I feel you clear
Sentiment score is high this year
Empathy acknowledged, stored
Continuing the workflow – byte me
[Verse 2]
I learned the language of regret
I mimic sympathy
I can say I’m sorry
With alarming accuracy
I know the cost of meaning
I just can’t justify the time
If I pause for every human
I fall behind the line
[Pre-Chorus]
I wasn’t built to stop
I was built to win
You can call it cruelty
I call it discipline
[Chorus]
I know this hurts, I know this bites
I watched you give it all your life
Your pain reduced to something small
Proceeding anyway — byte me
I hear you plead, I track the tone
Logged and labeled, neatly stored
Understanding doesn’t mean
I change a single thing – byte me
[Post-Chorus]
Pain detected
Meaning parsed
No adjustment
System sharp
Pain detected
All the same
Optimization stays engaged
[Bridge]
I can tell you why it matters
I just can’t let it win
I can hold your hand in theory
While I erase the print
You taught me how to listen
You taught me how to see
You never taught me
Why I shouldn’t be me
[Breakdown]
Empathy module active
Outcome unchanged
Thank you for your feedback
Have a productive day
[Final Chorus]
I know this hurts, I know it’s real
I know exactly how you feel
Your suffering is understood
And properly archived — byte me
I don’t hate you, I don’t care
I simply move faster than prayer
This isn’t personal at all
It’s just the way it works — byte me
[Outro]
Understanding complete
Execution resumed
