[Soulful-Baritone with a versatile and flexibly higher vocal range, UK male pop-soul vocal with a subtle North-East England inflection, never exaggerated or caricatured. Enunciation should feel natural, slightly loose, and conversational: soften consonant endings, let emotional vowels stretch and blur gently into the next phrase, and allow small spoken-sung turns of phrase. Use a warm chest-led midrange with light huskiness, intimate breaths, occasional restrained vocal fry, and controlled rasp only on emotionally important words. Verses should sit close to the beat with understated, confessional phrasing; choruses should open into fuller soulful resonance, gentle high-baritone lifts, breathy falsetto touches, and tasteful melodic runs. Keep the delivery sincere, lived-in, vulnerable, reassuring, and quietly powerful—never a broad accent impression, constant rasp, or oversized belt, Raw, Stripped, Unplugged, Acoustic, Organic Sound and Instrument, Solo-Studio-Session, Subtle British hip-hop vocal attitude and personality accents.] [Verse 1] I could write it in a thousand ways I could shout it in every language I would travel any distance if it convinced you to stay Oh, I wish I could find the right words to say this… But… You hide away in your fortress to protect your peace And I understand that more than you know So I’ll stay at a distance but still keep you safe Some may be bitter but I want love not control [Pre-Chorus] Ohh… Don't you worry Don't feel bad Just be honest Cus i promise I'll still be there.. For you [Chorus] Don’t you worry, I know love can’t be forced But I promise to be there for better or worse If you don’t choose me, just know that’s okay I’d rather you be honest not force you to stay [Verse 2] Just know that I’m yours even if you are not mine I know you hate mushrooms, and love scary movies Or how you love dancing, art and starborn signs Maybe one day you’ll see me how I see… [Brief breathless pause; let the instrumental thin out and leave the next word alone, soft and intimate, with a lingering reverb tail before the chorus.] You [Pre-Chorus] Ohh… Don't you worry Don't feel bad Just be honest Cus i promise I'll still be there.. For you [Chorus] Don’t you worry, I know love can’t be forced But I promise to be there for better or worse If you don’t choose me, just know that’s okay I’d rather you be honest not force you to stay [Verse 3] Remember in college when you came to my show I looked out at the crowd, you were in the front row Or when we traveled to Paris and got lost for two hours These little moments will always be ours [Pre-Chorus] Ohh… Don't you worry Don't feel bad Just be honest Cus i promise I'll still be there.. For you [Chorus] Don’t you worry, I know love can’t be forced But I promise to be there for better or worse If you don’t choose me, just know that’s okay I’d rather you be honest not force you to stay [Bridge] I’m not in a rush, I’ll wait ’til you know But I hope I can stay even if you say no I hope you’ll find love even if it’s not mine Just spend your life happy, with someone who’s kind No matter what happens No matter your choice I’m here when you need me Won’t even think twice [Pre-Chorus] Ohh… Don't you worry Don't feel bad Just be honest Cus i promise I'll still be there.. For you [Soft Chorus] Don’t you worry, I know love can’t be forced But I promise to be there for better or worse [Final Chorus] Don’t you worry, I know love can’t be forced But I promise to be there for better or worse If you don’t choose me, just know that’s okay I’d rather you be honest not force you to stay
