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…
