Carry Me (ED Rework)

[start] [Verse 1 | low intimate croon | spacious pulse] I have made a life of leaving Before anyone could choose Tonight I have no answer No better part to play If you can still stand beside me Don’t let me turn away [Chorus | soaring lead vocal | wide harmonies] Carry me Past the life I learned to fake Carry me I don’t need the way made clear Just don’t leave me here [Verse 2 | breathy rasp | steady pulse] Some days I answer to my name And still don’t feel addressed I give you what will cost me least And call that doing my best You know when I am halfway gone Before I take a step [Bridge | stripped low vocal | rising into full power] If I fall, don’t make it noble If I break, don’t call me brave I have spent too long pretending Pain was proof that I was safe I don’t want another answer I don’t want another name If there’s anything worth saving Let me meet it face to face [Final Chorus | peak vocal | sustained open vowels | full harmony stack] Carry me Past the life I learned to fake Carry me I don’t need the way made clear I just need you here [Outro | intimate return | soft falsetto edge] Tonight I have no answer No better part to play Carry me [End]
