Real with you

Intro (filtered, 2–4 bars)

I was real with you…
(real with you…)

⸻

Verse 1 (low, conversational)

I never would’ve left you
Not in silence, not in fear
I didn’t care about the numbers
I only cared you were here

You say you’re older like it’s heavy
Like love fades if you wait
But time never scared me
When I looked at your face

⸻

Lift (half-chorus, tension)

You talk about the years like they decide
What stays alive
What survives

(beat tightens, synth opens)

⸻

Landing Hook (short, repeatable)

Claudia, I would’ve married you
Yeah, I was real with you

(repeat — same line, new texture)

⸻

Verse 2 (floatier, slightly distant)

You said maybe in thirty years
If we’re not side by side
I’d be a beautiful memory
You’d carry inside

But I wasn’t loving maybe
Wasn’t planning the end
I was standing in the moment
Doing what felt honest then

⸻

Lift (same as before, quieter)

You talk about the years like they decide
What stays alive
What survives

⸻

Landing Hook (full, mantra)

Claudia, I would’ve married you
Yeah, I was real with you
If I’m just a memory to you
At least I was real with you

⸻

Outro (fade, mantra loop)

I was real with you
I was real with you
I was real with you…

Catchy psych-pop groove. Bouncy bass, tight drums, warm synths. Hypnotic but upbeat. Intimate male vocal, detached
