“I’ll Be Here (No Matter What)”

[Verse 1 – Male]
I see the weight behind your eyes, you never say it out loud
Caught in the middle of a war that you didn’t choose now
They pull you one way, I’m standing still in the rain
I won’t make you pick a side just to take away your pain

I know your silence got a voice and it’s screaming inside
Every time you try to breathe, something’s taking your life
And I won’t be another pressure pushing you to the edge
I’d rather love you from a distance than be something you regret

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – Male]
So don’t you rush, don’t you break
Don’t let them steal what we made
If you need time, I’ll stay the same
I’m not going anywhere

⸻

[Chorus – Male + Female layered]
I’ll be here, I won’t make you choose
You don’t gotta run, you don’t gotta prove
If you stay, or if you walk away
I’ll still be right here in the same place

And if you call, I’ll come right now
Through every fear, through every doubt
I’ll wait forever if that’s what you need
But if you need saving, you can run to me

⸻

[Verse 2 – Female]
They tell me love shouldn’t feel like I’m breaking in two
Like I gotta lose my world just to hold on to you
I’m scared of the fallout, scared of the cost
Trying to find myself without getting lost

I hear your voice in the quiet, telling me breathe
You never pulled me apart, you just let me be me
And maybe that’s why I’m torn in between
’Cause you’re the only place that feels like peace

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – Female → Male harmony]
I don’t know how long it’ll take
But I feel every word that you say
If I fall, will you still remain?
(Male:) I’m not going anywhere

⸻

[Chorus – Male + Female]
I’ll be here, I won’t make you choose
You don’t gotta run, you don’t gotta prove
If you stay, or if you walk away
I’ll still be right here in the same place

And if you call, I’ll come right now
Through every fear, through every doubt
I’ll wait forever if that’s what you need
But if you need saving, you can run to me

⸻

[Bridge – Rap (Male, NF-style delivery)]
I’m not the enemy, I’m not the war
I’m not the weight that you’re fighting for
I’m not the voice that’s breaking you down
I’m the one still here when no one’s around

I won’t compete with the life that you’ve known
I won’t tear apart what built you a home
But if those walls ever start to cave
Just know I’m outside, I ain’t walked away

Yeah, I’ll be patient, I’ll carry the pain
I’ll sit in the silence, I’ll weather the rain
But don’t you think for a second it’s weak
To reach for my hand if you’re too tired to speak

⸻

[Final Chorus – Big / Emotional]
I’ll be here, I won’t make you choose
You don’t gotta run, you don’t gotta prove
No matter what you decide to do
There’s always a place right here with you

And if you call, I’ll come right now
No hesitation, no backing down
I’ll wait forever, I swear it’s true
But I’ll be right here if you need me soon
