Life Doesn’t Mean Shit Without You

Cinematic R&B ballad with male vocals over dark industrial-tinged drums, pulsing synth bass, and smooth pads; verses stay intimate and low, pre-chorus adds tension with filtered percussion and rising strings, chorus explodes with wide harmonies and distorted hits, then drops back into a moody, spacious groove, dramatic, male vocals, industrial, smooth, emotional, r&b

[Verse 1] You know life doesn’t mean shit without you Why you talking like you packing up your heart Pacing in the hallway Phone face down Eyes somewhere else Already in the dark You say you’re not good enough for me Let me be the one who makes that call Don’t you dare write my feelings for me Don’t put words in my mouth at all [Pre-Chorus] You keep saying “I’m the problem” But you’re dressing up the truth in fear So tell me what you’re really hiding Say it straight while I’m standing here [Chorus] Life doesn’t mean shit without you I’m not scared to say it out loud You keep trying to push me off you Like you’re doing me some kind of favor now What’s really going on? Who’s got their hands on your time Your mind? Life doesn’t mean shit without you Don’t you walk away and leave me blind [Verse 2] You flinch when I reach for your hand Laugh it off Say you’re tired Say you’re fine But your messages hit different lately Every answer shorter than the last reply So is there someone else in your life? Someone hearing all the things you hide from me Are you saving all your soft for them While you turn your sharpest edges on me? [Pre-Chorus] You keep saying “I’m just broken” But your stories got too many seams If it isn’t love you’re losing Tell me what it is you’re risking between [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] If you’re leaving Then just say it Rip it open Don’t delay it I can take the wreck The ruin I can’t take this slow undoing [whispered vocals] If you’re lying Then just stop it Drop the mask Don’t dress it up If you love me Then come closer If you’re gone I won’t beg you back [crescendo] But don’t you dare pretend you know my heart Like I’d be better off if we fall apart [Chorus]
