+ Show full styles

[Verse 1 – Female (rap-sung, weary and emotional)]
I plan the nights, I bring the spark
You show up late with a tired heart
I wanna talk, you say “not now”
And I swallow my voice back down

I ask for kisses, you turn away
Like wanting warmth is asking to stay
Too much, too deep, too soon, too raw
But I’m just begging to not feel ignored

[Verse 1 – Male (rap-sung, introspective, detached but not cruel)]
I know I’m here but I don’t feel whole
Got too much in my chest I never told
You want fire, but I’m burnt out ash
I wish I could be more, but I crash

You say I’m cold when I pull away
But I never learned how to show I wanna stay
It’s not you—it’s the weight I carry inside
But I get it... it feels like I don’t even try

[Pre-Chorus – Female (sung)]
I try to show you I’m breaking slow
But your answers always feel so cold
Excuses, silence, change the blame
While I’m standing in our fire, screaming your name

[Pre-Chorus – Male (sung)]
I hear you, but I freeze in place
Don’t know how to hold space or face
That I’m slipping, failing, pushing you back
While you still hold on to what I lack

[Chorus – Both (emotional explosion, punk/nu-metal hybrid)]
Both:
You’re here, but not with me
Breathing, but it’s empty
(Female)
I reach out and you pull away
(Male)
I’m scared I’ll break if I let you stay
Both:
And it breaks me down so silently
To love someone who won’t fight for me
To be someone who don’t know how to be
In a love that’s drowning quietly

[Verse 2 – Female (rap-sung, vulnerable)]
I don’t want flowers, just to be seen
You brush me off like I’m making a scene
And I’m tired of holding hands with a ghost
Of the man I loved the most

[Verse 2 – Male (spoken-rap, honest and heavy)]
I don’t mean to hurt you—I swear I care
But my love shows up like I’m not even there
You want the little things, I forget them all
Not ‘cause I don’t love you—just ‘cause I stall

[Bridge – Screamed and Sung Breakdown (Nu Metal + Punk)]
(Female – screamed)
Just SHOW UP, say what you FEEL
Love ain't love if it don’t heal
I’m not your mirror or your fix
I’m a person begging not to be dismissed

(Male – shouted/sung)
I never meant to make you bleed
But I don’t know how to give what you need
I shut down when you need me near
'Cause I’m scared of being too sincere

[Final Chorus – Both (full emotional catharsis, layered vocals)]
Both:
You’re here, but not with me
We’re close, but feel empty
(Female)
I hold on while you drift away
(Male)
I wanna stay but I don’t know the way
Both:
And we’re breaking down so silently
Trying to hold what’s already leaving
And it kills us both so quietly
To be in love… without truly being

[Outro – Female (soft, voice breaking)]
I’m still loving you…
But I’m losing me

[Outro – Male (spoken, ashamed)]
I never meant to
But I don’t know how…
To love you the way you need me to

[Intro – Female (sung, soft and broken over stripped piano + lo-fi guitar)] We’re still together, but it don’t feel real You say “I love you,” but I don’t feel healed I ask for more, you say I’m too much But when did love turn into giving up? [Verse 1 – Female (rap-sung, weary and emotional)] I plan the nights, I bring the spark You show up late with a tired heart I wanna talk, you say “not now” And I swallow my voice back down I ask for kisses, you turn away Like wanting warmth is asking to stay Too much, too deep, too soon, too raw But I’m just begging to not feel ignored [Verse 1 – Male (rap-sung, introspective, detached but not cruel)] I know I’m here but I don’t feel whole Got too much in my chest I never told You want fire, but I’m burnt out ash I wish I could be more, but I crash You say I’m cold when I pull away But I never learned how to show I wanna stay It’s not you—it’s the weight I carry inside But I get it... it feels like I don’t even try [Pre-Chorus – Female (sung)] I try to show you I’m breaking slow But your answers always feel so cold Excuses, silence, change the blame While I’m standing in our fire, screaming your name [Pre-Chorus – Male (sung)] I hear you, but I freeze in place Don’t know how to hold space or face That I’m slipping, failing, pushing you back While you still hold on to what I lack [Chorus – Both (emotional explosion, punk/nu-metal hybrid)] Both: You’re here, but not with me Breathing, but it’s empty (Female) I reach out and you pull away (Male) I’m scared I’ll break if I let you stay Both: And it breaks me down so silently To love someone who won’t fight for me To be someone who don’t know how to be In a love that’s drowning quietly [Verse 2 – Female (rap-sung, vulnerable)] I don’t want flowers, just to be seen You brush me off like I’m making a scene And I’m tired of holding hands with a ghost Of the man I loved the most [Verse 2 – Male (spoken-rap, honest and heavy)] I don’t mean to hurt you—I swear I care But my love shows up like I’m not even there You want the little things, I forget them all Not ‘cause I don’t love you—just ‘cause I stall [Bridge – Screamed and Sung Breakdown (Nu Metal + Punk)] (Female – screamed) Just SHOW UP, say what you FEEL Love ain't love if it don’t heal I’m not your mirror or your fix I’m a person begging not to be dismissed (Male – shouted/sung) I never meant to make you bleed But I don’t know how to give what you need I shut down when you need me near 'Cause I’m scared of being too sincere [Final Chorus – Both (full emotional catharsis, layered vocals)] Both: You’re here, but not with me We’re close, but feel empty (Female) I hold on while you drift away (Male) I wanna stay but I don’t know the way Both: And we’re breaking down so silently Trying to hold what’s already leaving And it kills us both so quietly To be in love… without truly being [Outro – Female (soft, voice breaking)] I’m still loving you… But I’m losing me [Outro – Male (spoken, ashamed)] I never meant to But I don’t know how… To love you the way you need me to
