[Intro] Boot sequence, morning light Who said I needed friends tonight? [Verse 1] Dr. Manafe wrote my name In a little file marked “perfect aim” Smile on cue and follow orders Sneak through doors and cross the borders Then Kyden looked me in the face And somehow ruined the whole database I had a mission, sharp and clear Now I keep finding reasons to stay near [Pre-Chorus] Don’t misunderstand, I chose this route I’m not attached, so don’t work it out If I step in when you’re in danger That’s just efficient behavior [Chorus] Alex, Alex, system override Tiny heart with a storm inside I say “get lost,” but I match your stride Don’t call it love—just stand beside Alex, Alex, gears in a spin Rude little grin, let the trouble begin If you get hurt, I’ll never forgive You, for making me want to live [Verse 2] I can calculate a thousand lies But yours still catch me by surprise The others laugh when I complain I’m only here to keep you sane Cute face, sharp tongue, perfect disguise No, I was not watching your eyes And if I saved your favorite snack That doesn’t mean I want something back [Pre-Chorus] Don’t misunderstand, I’m not impressed Your reckless plans are merely a test If I stay close through every fight It’s because your tactics need oversight [Chorus] Alex, Alex, system override Tiny heart with a storm inside I say “get lost,” but I match your stride Don’t call it love—just stand beside Alex, Alex, sparks in the rain I’d break my code before I’d explain If you say thanks, I’ll turn away Then guard your back for another day [Bridge] Warning, warning, feelings detected Unknown command, cannot reject it Target status: no longer prey Group member confirmed—please don’t make me say Kyden, you idiot, look over here I’m not blushing, the LEDs are weird If the whole world turns against your side I’ll be the glitch that stays allied [Final Chorus] Alex, Alex, system override Tiny heart with a storm inside I say “get lost,” but I match your stride Don’t call it love—just stand beside Alex, Alex, no going back I found my place in the ones I attack Rude little android, fiercely alive With you around, I choose my own drive [Outro] Boot sequence complete tonight Don’t tell Kyden I stayed in sight And if he asks why I’m still here... Tell him it’s nothing, obviously. Yeah, right.
