## **Eric, Ashley, and Heavy Thoughts**
### *(Duet Conversation Version)*
**[Intro – Female, soft / Male layered underneath]**
Late nights… heavy thoughts…
Tryna mend what all got lost…
Eric, Ashley, names in the wind…
And I’m askin’ God, how this all gon’ end?
**[Verse 1 – Female]**
This a story ’bout Eric, yeah, he ran his mouth,
Now the whole damn house got tension in it now.
Mom and Dad split, papers got signed,
Whole crib went silent like the world flatlined.
She said he lied, said he did her wrong,
Took half the house, then she moved along.
Then I heard whispers floatin’ through the dark,
’Bout a baby and a name, and it tore me apart.
**[Verse 1B – Male]**
I’m lookin’ at the wreckage, tryna measure what remains,
One joke in the wrong ears turned love into blame.
A rumor hit the table and the table got flipped,
Now everybody drownin’ while the truth got stripped.
No peace in the kitchen, no rest in the hall,
Just accusations bouncin’ off the goddamn walls.
And I can see your face, you just want what is real,
But everybody speakin’ pain instead of how they feel.
**[Pre-Chorus – Female + Male overlap]**
**Female:** Ain’t no proof, just words in the air,
Now she packin’ bags like she don’t even care.
**Male:** Reversin’ the damage, processin’ thoughts in my head,
Tryna hold the pieces of what ain’t fully dead.
**Female:** Tellin’ me don’t trust that man—
**Male:** But I’m askin’ God if this was ever in the plan.
**[Chorus – Duet]**
**Female:** This a story ’bout Eric,
Ran his mouth, now it’s all so messy.
Talkin’ ’bout a baby, sayin’ it’s my pops,
Now my whole family cracked and it just won’t stop.
**Male:** Late nights, heavy thoughts, I’m tryin’ to mend,
Askin’ God the same old question—will this work out in the end?
**Both:**
This a story ’bout Ashley,
Truth got twisted and the pain got nasty.
Names in the wind, but the damage stays,
And we still standin’ in the ashes of those days.
**[Verse 2 – Female]**
Went to my pops, said, “Tell me what’s real.”
He looked me dead in the eyes, said, “Girl, just chill.
Ain’t no baby, ain’t no side chick,
Your mama just hurt, throwin’ lies in the mix.”
Turns out Eric was playin’ around,
Cracked one joke, now the whole fam down.
Mom heard the talk and she ran with the lie,
Now she in court tryna say goodbye.
**[Verse 2B – Male]**
Protection by God, but you still got smited,
Ripped apart slow like a knife kept slicin’.
Time runnin’ out, and you askin’ why,
Still holdin’ your soul while the weak parts die.
He worked your spirit, molded your doubt,
Built somethin’ stronger while you went without.
And even in the silence when nobody called,
You still found a way not to lose it all.
**[Chorus – Bigger, layered]**
**Female:** This a story ’bout Eric,
Ran his mouth, now it’s all so messy.
Talkin’ ’bout a baby, sayin’ it’s my pops,
Now my whole family cracked and it just won’t stop.
**Male:** Late nights, heavy thoughts, I’m tryin’ to mend,
Askin’ God over and over—will this all work out in the end?
**B
