Aight, listen… What we about to do is take you back, way back in time… When R&B made you feel somethin’… When the bass hit your chest, and the lyrics hit your soul… When you ain’t even wanna talk— you just wanted to hold somebody… Intro (spoken / sung) Yeah… Listen… I know you tired. I know you been through it. But before you walk away— I need you to hear me… Verse 1 (warm, reassuring) I see the weight you been carryin’ alone Smilin’ for the world, but hurtin’ when you home You don’t gotta prove you’re strong to be enough Even on your worst day, you still worthy of love If your heart been breakin’, let me hold what you hide Let me be the peace you can’t find inside No shame in your tears, let ‘em fall, let ‘em show You ain’t gotta fight this battle on your own Pre-Chorus And if you ever feel like you don’t matter If your thoughts get loud, I’ll talk back louder I’ll say it slow so it sinks in deep… Chorus You are loved… you are loved… Even when you don’t feel like you’re enough But I can’t let go, I swear I try Every time you leave, it feel like I die ‘Cause you’re my heart, you’re my home And it’s hard to breathe when you’re gone You are loved… please don’t forget But I can’t let go of you yet Verse 2 (longing / regret) I replay us like a song I can’t turn off Every little “I’m fine” was a silent cry for help And I should’ve listened more instead of lettin’ pride talk Now I’m stuck in these nights, by myself I know I ain’t perfect, I know I’ve been wrong But I’ve been tryna grow—tryna love you strong If you need space, I’ll respect it, I won’t pull your chain Just don’t erase me like I meant nothin’ to your name Pre-Chorus 2 If you gotta heal, I’ll give you time But don’t shut the door and leave me blind Just give me one truth before you go… Chorus You are loved… you are loved… Even when you don’t feel like you’re enough But I can’t let go, I swear I try Every time you leave, it feel like I die ‘Cause you’re my heart, you’re my home And it’s hard to breathe when you’re gone You are loved… please don’t forget But I can’t let go of you yet. Verse 3 It’s 2 a.m., I’m slidin’ through like “where you at?” You left me on read, but I know you still watchin’ that Say you done with me, then you call when you tipsy “Come fix this,” yeah—baby you miss me We argue, then we fuck like it’s therapy Hands on your waist, you tellin’ me “Don’t be gentle with me” I kiss down your neck while you say you don’t need love But your body say “stay,” and your eyes say “please don’t give up” I ain’t tryna play, I’m just speakin’ what’s true You be actin’ so cold, but you melt when it’s me and you And I hate that I’m hooked, but I’m stuck in your spell ‘Cause you feel like heaven even when you drag me through hell Pre-Chorus 3 (short, rising) And when you pull away, I reach harder Say you’re okay, but your voice get darker So I hold you close and I tell you again… Chorus You are loved… you are loved… Even when you don’t feel like you’re enough But I can’t let go, I swear I try Every time you leave, it feel like I die ‘Cause you’re my heart, you’re my home And it’s hard to breathe when you’re gone You are loved… please don’t forget But I can’t let go of you yet Bridge Look… I’m not askin’ you to be okay overnight… I’m askin’ you not to disappear… (Sung) If you only knew how much I pray for you How I speak your name when the world gets cruel I’ll be your reminder when you feel unloved I’ll be your shelter when it’s rainin’ up But I’m haunted by the thought of losin’ you So tell me what I gotta do… To prove it’s real, to make it right ‘Cause without you, it’s just nights… Verse 4 Look, I know your past got you built like a fortress But I’m the type to break walls down—no force shit I’ll eat that pain up, put my lips where your stress is Tell you “you safe,” while I’m deep in your essence I’ll fuck you slow when your mind gettin’ heavy Then speed it up when you start sayin’ “don’t you stop, daddy” Yeah I said it—‘cause I’m in it, I’m ten toes I don’t do halfway when I’m lovin’, that’s just how it goes If you spiralin’, call me, I’m pullin’ up ASAP No fake “wyd,” I’m on you like playback And when you start thinkin’ you ain’t worthy, I’m gon’ remind you Say it in your ear while I’m inside you: “I got you… you loved too.” Final Chorus (bigger / key change feel) You are loved… (you are loved) Even when you don’t feel like you’re enough And I can’t let go—not tonight Don’t let our love become a goodbye ‘Cause you’re my heart, you’re my home And it’s hard to breathe when you’re gone You are loved… stay in my breath ‘Cause I can’t let go of you yet Outro (soft) You are loved… Even when you don’t believe it… And I can’t let go…
