Want That Too

pop, Moody R&B-pop ballad with female vocals, intimate keys and soft pads under a slow head-nod groove; verse one keeps it bare with close-mic vocal and subtle bass swells, pre-chorus adds airy harmonies and filtered percussion, chorus blooms with stacked vocals, brighter chords, and a pulsing kick; bridge strips back to almost solo vocal before the final, slightly more urgent chorus, sad, r&b, emotional, raw, female vocals

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you said you’d been “seeing someone”
But it’s “nothing serious
Calm down”
Funny how you held me so close
While talking like I’m just background

[Chorus]
You only want that too
Now that I’ve got it
Now that I’m happy
Now that I’m honest
You see me glowing in somebody’s room
And suddenly you
You want that too
You only want that too
When it feels easy
When it looks pretty
When it sounds dreamy
You see a future in someone else’s truth
And suddenly you
You want that too

[Verse 2]
You were drunk dialing from your friend’s place
Begging me to pick you up
I was halfway out the doorway
Heart already calling this love
Then you scrolled and showed her photo
Said
“We’re casual
It’s light”
So why’d it feel like my reflection
Staring back at me that night

[Pre-Chorus]
You said
“Don’t overthink
You’re special”
With your arm around my waist
But every promise had an echo
Of a name you wouldn’t say

[Chorus]
You only want that too
Now that I’ve found it
Now that it’s real
Now that I’m grounded
You see me steady when I’m pulling through
And suddenly you
You want that too
You only want that too
When it won’t cost you
When it feels safe
When I can’t stop you
You see me choosing what you couldn’t do
And suddenly you
You want that too

[Bridge]
Did you ever really want me?
Or just the way I wanted you? (yeah)
Did you love the way I lit up
More than how I looked at you?
You hear the word forever
Like it’s something to outgrow
I hear it in your half-smile
When you say
“Let’s take this slow”

[Chorus]
You only want that too
Now that I’m leaving
Now that I’m tired
Now that I mean it
You see me walking like I’m done with you
And suddenly you
You want that too
You only want that too
When you might lose me
When I pull back
When I choose truly
I wanted you before you had a clue
But you just wanted
What I wanted
Now you just want me
’Cause I want that too
