I Would’ve Loved You Right”
Genre: R&B/Soul ballad with soft piano, minimal percussion.
Theme: The love she didn’t recognize — and how different it could’ve felt if she had let it in.
[Verse 1]
You wanted fire, I brought calm
You needed healing, I held on
I saw the cracks behind your smile
Still, I stayed for a little while
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t have to earn a thing
I would’ve loved the mess you bring
But you mistook my softness for a weakness
And now you’re gone — and I mean this…
[Chorus]
I would’ve loved you right
Held your pain through every night
Pulled you close when you tried to run
Been your shelter, not just someone
But you chose the storm instead of peace
And now you’re just a ghost to me
I would’ve loved you right…
If you had let me
[Verse 2]
I never asked for guarantees
Just for you to show up for me
But silence was your only vow
And I can’t keep chasing your somehow
[Bridge]
Now someone else will get the best of me
While you’re still stuck in make-believe
You’ll call it timing, I’ll call it truth —
You never knew what you could lose
(Final Chorus — stripped then full)
I would’ve loved you right…
But you didn’t see the light
I was the home you never claimed
Now I’m walking the other way
But if you ever wonder why —
You weren’t ready for a love like mine
