Intro (Voice 1 — slow, intimate) Mmm… Yeah… You ever love somebody… more than they knew how to love you back? Verse 1 (Voice 1 — smooth, aching) I gave you my quiet mornings I gave you my midnight calls I held you when you were breaking Didn’t ask for nothin’ at all I saw who you could be Even when you couldn’t see Now I’m standin’ here wonderin’… why you couldn’t choose me Pre-Chorus (Voice 1 — soft build) I stayed too long… held on too tight… Call it love… but it don’t feel right Chorus (Voice 2 — raw, powerful) I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD EVERY TEAR, EVERY SECOND, EVERY DREAM I HAD AND YOU JUST LET IT FALL LIKE IT MEANT NOTHIN’ OH YOU LET IT FALL LIKE IT WASN’T LOVE Verse 2 (Voice 2 — gritty, rising) I was burnin’ like a fire You were playin’ in the smoke Every promise that you whispered Yeah, it sounded like a joke I was fightin’ for a heartbeat You were driftin’ out to sea And I finally see the truth now… you were never here for me Pre-Chorus (Duet — tension builds) (Voice 1) I tried to stay… (Voice 2) I tried to fight… (Together) But love don’t live… where there ain’t no light Chorus (Full Duet — big, emotional) I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD EVERY TEAR, EVERY SECOND, EVERY DREAM I HAD AND YOU JUST LET IT FALL LIKE IT MEANT NOTHIN’ OH YOU LET IT FALL LIKE IT WASN’T LOVE Bridge (Voice 1 → Voice 2) Voice 1 (low, controlled): I would’ve stayed forever… if you just met me halfway… Voice 2 (explosive): BUT YOU NEVER SHOWED UP YOU JUST WALKED AWAY Final Chorus (Full Duet — release + power) I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD BUT I’M DONE LOSIN’ EVERYTHING I AM IF LOVE DON’T HOLD ME LIKE IT SHOULD THEN BABY I’M GONE FOR GOOD Outro (Voice 1 — calm, resolved) Yeah… I gave you everything… But I kept enough… to walk away…
