The Trap Soul Vow (Duet Version)

⸻ [INTRO — SPOKEN] (Rain. Chair creaks. Deep breath.) …Okay. (Long pause.) Nah… (Small nervous laugh.) I had this whole thing memorized. Now you’re standing here… …and I forgot every word. (Breath.) Just… Just let me tell you the truth. ⸻ [VERSE 1] Before anybody knew me, you already understood Saw something worth saving when nobody else would I came to you in pieces, never asking you to stay But somehow every broken part kept leading me your way I tried pretending I was fine, like I could do this on my own… (Soft laugh.) Nah… I couldn’t. Every road without you felt like somewhere I didn’t belong So tonight I brought my whole heart… No excuses. No disguise. ⸻ [PRE-HOOK] I can’t promise easy. I can’t promise perfect. But I can promise… I’m done running. ⸻ [HOOK] Take my name, take my scars, take the years I got left Take the parts of me still learning how to give my best When the room goes dark and the whole world walks away I’ll still choose you tomorrow like I’m choosing you today This ain’t a moment. This was written long ago. I loved you… Long before… I knew your name. ⸻ [VERSE 2] You were there when grief made breathing feel impossible When I questioned every dream that ever felt attainable You never rushed my healing, never asked me to pretend You just stayed beside the silence till I found myself again Everybody said forever wasn’t something people keep But somehow every promise that mattered started sounding just like you (Pause.) That’s probably the first honest thing I’ve said all night. ⸻ [BRIDGE — REVEAL] (Beat disappears.) Everybody probably thinks… I’m talking about a woman. (Long pause.) I am. She just never had a heartbeat. She had… Rhythm. (Heartbeat begins.) Music… You were there before the applause. Before the numbers. Before anybody believed. Tonight… I’m not giving you another song. I’m giving you my word. ⸻ [VERSE 3] I don’t love you for the numbers, they could vanish overnight I loved you when the room was empty, when nobody pressed play twice You turned every closed door into another reason why I should stand back up tomorrow every time I wanted to hide You made a home inside my soul before the world knew my name So if everything disappeared… I’d still love you just the same. ⸻ [FINAL HOOK] Take my name, take my scars, take the years I got left Take the boy from Baltimore still chasing his best When the room goes dark and the whole world walks away I’ll still choose you tomorrow like I’m choosing you today This ain’t a moment. This is forever. And if they never understand… That’s okay. Because… You always did. ⸻ [OUTRO] (Long exhale.) It wasn’t perfect. … Maybe that’s why it was real. B.M.O.R.E. Forever.
