Remix "Transparent" original from ItzMyEmpathy - "You and I'

[Verse 1]
Practice what you preach... Is it just the emotions?
Problems walk in because the back door is wide open.
(Now accountability's knocking for everything you’ve been holding.)
The hardest thing about facts is the feeling of coping.
[Verse 2]
We’ve become everything to everyone but nothing for ourselves.
(I wanted this to be a dream that would last forever... hoping it never fails.)
But real dreams don't breathe.. if you don't truly give 'em life,
And I'm tired of being the ghost of a husband to a truly hollow wife.
[Chorus]
( I’m transparent..). I’m standing right in front of you, but you’re looking through me.
(You love the vow, you love the ring, but you don’t love the "we."
I’m just a silhouette in the home, I thought we built together,
Trying to be your rock but you just make the foundation heavier.
Yeah, I’m transparent..). 
[echo into verse]You like the image, but you’re scared of the effort.
[Verse 3]
You love the aesthetic, but that mirror to me is just clear glass, 
But you run from the heavy, hoping for the shadows to be covered with masks.
(The work of a union is more than just a simple walk down the aisle,)
But you’ve traded the soul of our love for the grace of a simple fake smile.
I’ve learned a few things about love, but you're busy holding a pose,
(Funny how you don’t see me,.. Except when you need me for the blame of all the lows)

[Verse 4]
 I’m drowning my sorrows any way hoping to forget 
(I’ve been praying with a broken spirit while your eyes flashes regret. }
You need me for the status, you need me to fill up the space, 
But you don’t see the hunger for us written all over my face
(f I stopped trying today, would you even notice I’m gone? ) [echo]
Or would you just keep acting, like nothing is wrong?
[Final Chorus -The vocals intensify here, backed by layers of soaring, complex R&B runs that weave through the lyrics]
 I’m transparent... (Oh, see right through me, baby...) I’m standing right in front of you, but you’re looking through me. (Why can't you see me?) You love the vow, you love the ring, but you don’t love the "we." (You don't love the work, no...) I’m just a silhouette in the home we built together, (I'm fading away...) Trying to be your rock while I’m feeling light as a feather. (So light... so light...) Yeah, I’m transparent... You love the wedding, but you’re hiding from the marriage.
[Outro - The beat strips back to just the pulsing bass and a faint, crying saxophone] Transparent... I’m right here... I’m right here... But you’re looking at the reflection, not the man. [Long, fluttering vocal run that fades into a whisper] Do you even see me? [Fade to silence]

[Intro- The track opens with a sultry, distorted guitar lick. A smooth, velvet-toned male voice enters with cascading R&B runs] (—“Ooh, woah... yeah, yeah... mmm...”—) [drifting from a falsetto down to a deep, resonant chest voice. The mood is intimate but heavy with realization.] Can you see me… pleasee [Verse 1] Practice what you preach... Is it just the emotions? Problems walk in because the back door is wide open.
