In Between

[Intro – Female (soft, controlled)]
Mm… yeah
You know you don’t mean what you say…

[Verse 1 – Female (calm, but cutting)]
You only call when it’s convenient
Actin’ like your love is decent
But I see through every excuse
You don’t stay, you just choose

You got me waitin’ on a maybe
Love me when it’s easy, then you fade me
Say you care but you never prove it
Keep me close just to confuse me

[Pre-Chorus – Female (cold, intentional)]
You don’t stay, but you don’t leave
You just use me to breathe

[Chorus – Female (seductive, toxic)]
We’re stuck in the in between
You want me, but you don’t need me
Say you love me, say you mean it
Then you turn around and leave me

We’re stuck in the in between
Playin’ games you know what I mean
If I’m yours, then act like it
If I’m not, then let me quit

[Verse 2 – Male (defensive, messy rap)]
Yeah…
You act like I don’t give you enough
But you stay even when it gets rough
I don’t trust what you be sayin’
‘Cause you play the same games you’re playin’

You say I’m toxic, but you toxic too
Tell me lies, then I lie to you
We just tryna keep score in this
But we both know we don’t exist without this

I don’t leave ‘cause I know you won’t
Say you’re done but you really don’t
We addicted to the chaos
Even when it’s tearin’ us apart

[Bridge – Female (quiet, dangerous)]
You can’t let go…
I won’t let you either…

[Verse 3 – Male (lower, conflicted)]
Yeah…
I know this ain’t healthy, but I stay
You push me away, then pull me back in place
If you gone, I’d probably break
But with you, I can’t escape

You say “we’re done” every time we fight
But we back again every single night
It’s a cycle we both can’t break
‘Cause we love the pain that we create

[Chorus – Female (full control, layered)]
We’re stuck in the in between
You and me, caught in a scene
You don’t love me like you say
But you hate when I walk away

We’re stuck in the in between
Now it’s messier than it seems
Say you’re done, but you stay
You’re the one who never leaves

[Outro – Female & Male (overlapping, tense)]
(Female) You need me…
(Male) You need this…
(Female) Don’t leave me…
(Male) Don’t end this…
(Both) We’re stuck in this…
