Bruno Mars - That's What Like (Lyrics)

Bruno Mars - 🎤 Lyrics: That's What Like (Note: The phrase "That's What Like" is interpreted here as an idiom for observing how something feels or is experienced in a harsh reality.) (Tempo: Slow, R&B-infused ballad. Instrumentation: Muted piano chords, a subtle electronic beat, and atmospheric pads.) (Verse 1) You left your keys and the empty space they filled A promise you can't keep, a future that got killed I’m sitting on the counter where we had our last debate Trying to replay the moment when you sealed my fate I thought this kind of pain only happened in the movies To people who made bad choices or didn't try to move me But it’s quiet now, the apartment’s way too clean This is the silence behind the silver screen (Pre-Chorus) It’s not just a tear in the fabric of the heart It's a full-blown amputation, ripping us apart You said "It's for the best," a gentle, hollow phrase You walked into the future, I'm lost inside the haze (Chorus) So that’s what like to have the rug pulled from beneath your feet That's what like to find you can't complete A single thought without your name invading every line That's what like to watch a love slowly decline To smile when they ask if you're doing alright And know you're just surviving the never-ending night Yeah, that’s what like, the cold, hard, empty truth That I wasted all my breath and all my youth on you (Verse 2) I changed the password on the Wi-Fi, bought new sheets But every song that plays is stuck on repeat Of your voice, your laugh, your casual "I'm home" Now I’m just a monument to being alone I deleted all the pictures, the digital disguise But I can't erase the memory shining in your eyes You’re moving on so fast, or so I’ve been told While my entire world stopped and turned to dust and gold (Pre-Chorus) It’s not just a tear in the fabric of the heart It's a full-blown amputation, ripping us apart You found a new direction, put the past to rest And left me here to deal with all this mess (Chorus) So that’s what like to have the rug pulled from beneath your feet That's what like to find you can't complete A single thought without your name invading every line That's what like to watch a love slowly decline To smile when they ask if you're doing alright And know you're just surviving the never-ending night Yeah, that’s what like, the cold, hard, empty truth That I wasted all my breath and all my youth on you (Bridge) I guess I learned the lesson that love isn't a guarantee It’s just a fragile thing you hold until it sets itself free And the hardest part of all isn't the pain I face It's knowing someone else is standing in my place (Guitar/Synth Solo – Sorrowful and restrained) (Chorus) So that’s what like to have the rug pulled from beneath your feet That's what like to find you can't complete A single thought without your name invading every line That's what like to watch a love slowly decline To smile when they ask if you're doing alright And know you're just surviving the never-ending night Yeah, that’s what like, the cold, hard, empty truth That I wasted all my breath and all my youth on you (Outro) Yeah, that’s what like. That’s what like. Empty house, silent nights. That's what like. (Fade out on a lingering synth chord)
