Hey baby... hello...
(soft echo: hello... hello...)
I just wanna ask you one thing.
Can I go on?
Do you feel good?
Or are you hiding behind a mask?
Why can’t you see...
That I’m right here
Sitting beside you...
---
[Verse 1 – piano, subtle strings]
So baby, hello —
Why don’t you count me in?
You know what I love…
It’s your heartbeat.
But I still don’t get why you can’t love me —
Even though I’m always there
When your mind is falling apart.
---
[Chorus – full instrumental swell: cello, organ, clean vocal layering]
SO WHY CAN’T YOU SEE THE LOVE I GIVE YOU?
I’m right here beside you — I take every hit,
Just to make you feel alright.
BUT YOU ONLY SEE HIM — AND NEVER ME...
(coro sotto: never me... never me...)
---
[Verse 2 – slowed, emotional tone with light percussion]
And I don’t know what to do
To make you fall for me…
Like I’ve fallen for you.
And don’t say you don’t know —
I see how you look at me.
And don’t tell me I’m just a friend…
‘Cause I don’t believe a word you say.
If there’s a line between us —
You’ve never even tried... to cross it.
---
[Pre-Chorus – organ & low strings]
SO I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT TO DO
To stay right here next to you.
I’m ready to take every shot they fire —
Just to keep you safe... and shining.
BUT YOU STILL ONLY SEE HIM... NOT ME.
(coro sotto: not me... not me...)
---
[Bridge – quiet break, violins & solo piano]
And I still don’t know what to do
To make you fall the way I do.
And don’t say you’re unsure...
I can feel what you feel too.
And don’t tell me I’m just a friend —
Because I won’t believe you.
If I see the line — I’ll cross it anyway.
Don’t stop me now… not before I walk away.
You say you love...
But do you?
---
[Chorus – reprise, soft-strong dynamic build]
IF IT’S REAL... THEN WHY DO I SEE YOU FALLING —
ONLY FOR YOU?
(coro sotto: only... for you...)
---
[Outro – fading violin & ambient organ]
And maybe one day —
You’ll turn your head, and see…
That the one who stayed through everything...
Was me.
But by then...
I might not
Be there
Anymore...
