Don’t Lose Me

[Intro] (Soft harmonies over a dreamy R&B beat) I’m giving you the real me, This ain’t something you should play with. If you want it, better show me, Baby, don’t lose me. (Ad-libs: “Don’t lose me… don’t lose me… yeah…”) [Verse 1] (AABCC rhyme scheme with slant rhymes) I’ve been too patient with your energy (A) And I don’t chase nobody, that ain’t me (A). But I’ve been holding space for you to see (B) The way I give, it’s rare, it’s therapy (C) You can’t replace this love, don’t play with me (C). Told you once, baby, I’m a vibe (D) If you fumble this, you gon’ feel it twice (D). You like the thrill of pushing boundaries (E), But I’m not the one for your casualties (E). (Ad-libs: “I’m not the one… nah… no games with me.”) [Hook] (ABAB rhyme scheme with powerful melody) Don’t lose me, I’m the one you prayed for (A) Don’t act like you forgot what I’m made for (B). I’ve been the calm through your storm (A) Don’t let the best you’ve had walk out the door (B). (Ad-libs: “Mmm… best you’ve ever had… yeah…”) [Verse 2] (AABC rhyme scheme, smooth conversational tone) I don’t play tug-of-war with your indecision (A), If you can’t choose, then I’ll make the decision (A). Love ain’t a game, it’s a mission (B), I need peace, not competition (C). If I give you all of me, you better show up (D) No part-time vibes, I need real love. (D) Tired of fixing hearts I didn’t break (E), This time it’s you who’s gotta carry the weight (E). (Ad-libs: “Show up for me… this time, it’s on you.”) [Bridge] (Free-form, no strict rhyme scheme, emotive delivery) Don’t make me question myself… Don’t make me feel like I’m asking for too much, I’ve been giving you everything, But baby, enough is enough. I know my worth, and I’m done explaining it, If you can’t see it, then maybe you ain’t it. (Ad-libs: “Maybe you ain’t it… nah, nah… I’m done explaining…”) [Hook - Repeated] (Melodic with layered harmonies) Don’t lose me, I’m the one you prayed for (A) Don’t act like you forgot what I’m made for (B). I’ve been the calm through your storm (A) Don’t let the best you’ve had walk out the door (B). (Ad-libs: “You know what I’m worth… yeah…”) [Outro] (Soft, reflective tone with subtle harmonies) This ain’t a warning, this is my truth, If I’m giving all of me, what you giving too? I don’t need promises, I need proof, Baby, don’t lose me. (Ad-libs fading: “Don’t lose me… don’t lose me…”)
