Hey my lovelies💗 for the mentor mashup I really wanted to stay inside the given frame and still make it feel like a real Tarja track. So I leaned into a clean, contemporary r&b groove with a slow build, lots of space, and that intimate close-mic delivery where every line sounds like it’s happening right now. ꧁ღ⊱ Tarja ⊱ღ꧂ 💜 STTZ Mentor Mashup 2026 👉🏻 https://discord.gg/storytellerz 🫶🏻 Week 3: neo-soul / R&B-Vibe 🤜🏻 Entry for ShizukoHD & xxSpiderxx 🎛️ Forced style prompt 🎧 Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/713b03af-7889-4d7b-b23c-da5960a702b4 ██▓▒░⡷⠂ 𝙻𝚢𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚜 EN ⠐⢾░▒▓██ [intro] I’ve been telling myself for a few months now: “Okay. Stay calm.” And then you show up, you listen, and everything in me gets quieter. [verse 1] We haven’t known each other long, but it doesn’t feel new anymore. You can tell when I’m getting tired before I even say it. You don’t make it a big thing, you just make room next to you, and somehow my head feels livable again. We’re sitting between cables, mugs, and notes on the table, you play two chords, and I find a way to float above them. You tease me when I look too serious, and I start laughing, and suddenly it sounds like “us,” even though it isn’t official. [pre-chorus] I was going to bed early, I really was. But then you drop one more line, like it’s nothing, and my heart just goes, “Stay.” [chorus] You always have to get the last word, and I act like I don’t care. But honestly? I want it too. And that’s exactly where the trouble starts. You always have to get the last word, and I say, “Okay, last round, then I’m done.” But then I clap back one more time, just because I can, and suddenly we’re still awake at four thirty-five. [verse 2] You remember the little things, and it gets me every time. What tea I like, what note I keep reaching for, what day felt heavy. You never say, “You’re overreacting,” you say, “I’m here.” And I’m like… wow. So this is how it can be. When we make music, you’re cheeky, but never mean, you keep firing back until I’m smiling again. And I push back too, because I like challenging you, and because I love the way you soften after that. [pre-chorus 2] You don’t know. You only see the fun, the game, the little back-and-forth. And I sit next to you thinking: please stay exactly like this. [chorus 2] You always have to get the last word, and I act like I don’t care. But honestly? I want it too. So we turn it into a challenge, every night. You always have to get the last word, and I say, “Okay, for real, I need sleep, I’m done.” Then you say something, I laugh, and just like that I’m pulled back in, like my bed is just decoration and tomorrow doesn’t exist. [instrumental solo] [bridge] I’m already lying in the dark, phone on my pillow, and I really should sleep, because tomorrow’s way too early. Then a message pops up, just a small joke, and I’m right back there like I never left. I type “Good night” and my finger hesitates, because I still don’t know how to say this the right way. So I don’t write what I feel, I just send a laugh back, and hope you don’t hear the rest. [final chorus] You always have to get the last word, and I act like I don’t care. But honestly? I want it too, and I think that’s our little secret, nothing fancy. And I say, “Okay, last round, then I’m done.” But then I say one more thing, quiet, just for me, and you don’t even know I’m not just listening anymore. [outro] Maybe I’ll tell you someday. Not today. Today I’ll let us both win. With the last word. ██▓▒░⡷⠂Thx 4 listening!⠐⢾░▒▓██
