[Verse 1]
Why do our questions stay unasked?
Why can't our first loves be our last?
Why do I hate everything I’ve made?
Don't you care about what you have saved?
[Verse 2]
Echoes remind me of who I am
And who I was, now I can't stand
My eyes are lifted toward the clouds
But your help is covered by my doubt
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate myself?
Myself
[Chorus 1]
I’m split right down the middle
I can't help but feel just a little tense
A little tense
I'm torn here, apart down the middle
I hope that I still have a little sense
A little sense, yeah
[Post-Chorus 1]
Im just so torn about it
[Verse 3]
Disappointment follows me
Everywhere that I turn, I feel like I can't breath
"Captivate every thought", you say
But if they slip by, should I run away?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate myself?
Why do I separate, ay?
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate myself?
[Chorus 2]
I'm split right down the middle
I can't help but feel just a little tense
A little tense
I'm torn here, apart down the middle
I hope that I still have a little sense
A little sense
[Post-Chorus 2]
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate myself?
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate myself?
[Chorus 3]
Im split right down the middle
I can't help but feel just a little tense
A little tense
Im torn here apart down the middle
I hope that I still have a little sense
A little sense
[Post-Chorus 3]
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate?
Why do I separate?
Why do I—
Split was written by Maggie Miles.
Split was produced by H. Kenneth & Liam B. Smith.
Maggie Miles released Split on Thu Feb 28 2019.
Maggie Miles talked about the song in a track-by-track interview with Atwood Magazine, published on September 21, 2020:
This song is dense. It’s loud & abrasive. My intention in this track was to move the listeners head but also evoke the story & struggle of humans existing in a dichotomy.
