[Intro — sub-bass, heartbeat slow]
(tiefer Sub-Bass, langsam pulsierend)
Late night again.
Lights are low.
Thoughts stay loud.
⸻
[Verse 1 — intimate, restrained]
I learned how to move through broken days,
how to laugh while holding my breath.
I’ve worn strength like a second skin,
even when it cut into me.
I kept going when stopping felt safer,
kept feeling when numb would’ve hurt less.
I don’t talk about every battle I fought —
I just live with the marks they left.
I didn’t survive all this
to live halfway.
⸻
[Verse 2 — dark romance, tension]
I want closeness that doesn’t feel temporary,
not intensity that fades by morning.
I want touch that doesn’t hesitate,
eyes that don’t look for exits.
I don’t fall often, but when I do,
it’s honest, it’s deep, it’s consuming.
I don’t need promises or perfect timing,
I need someone who stays when it’s real.
Don’t pull me in
just to step back.
Don’t stay silent
and call it space.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — build, bass rising]
I’ve held myself together
for far too long
to accept uncertainty
as love.
My pulse is heavy,
my thoughts are loud —
but I’m still standing.
(bass grows, rhythm slowly tightens)
⸻
[Chorus — emotional pressure, wide]
I’m still standing — feel the weight of it,
every night that tried to bend me.
Still alive, still open, still reaching,
even when hope shakes my hands.
Stay when it’s loud.
Stay when it’s uncomfortable.
Stay when I stop pretending I’m fine.
If you come close — be honest.
If you stay — stay true.
⸻
[Verse 3 — raw, exposed]
I learned independence too young,
learned not to expect much.
I became my own backup plan,
because waiting never worked.
I don’t want to be someone’s option,
or a moment they outgrow.
I want depth that doesn’t disappear,
a bond that doesn’t loosen under pressure.
I don’t want easy.
I want real.
⸻
[Drop — bass hits hard, vocals minimal]
I stayed.
I endured.
Don’t test my limits
with half-decisions.
(heavy bass, short instrumental)
⸻
[Verse 4 — emotional peak]
I still believe connection can be safe,
even after everything I’ve learned.
I still risk feeling, knowing the cost,
knowing how fast things break.
I don’t want to be rescued or rewritten,
I want to be chosen as I am.
I’m right here, no armor left,
asking for something solid.
⸻
[Bridge — breakdown → long high note]
(music almost silent)
I’m not distant…
(soft)
not closed…
(higher)
I’M STILL OPEEEEEEN—
(long, high sustained note, hold)
⸻
[Final Chorus — full release, maximum intensity]
I’m still standing — do you hear me?
After everything I carried alone.
Still choosing honesty over safety,
still refusing to disappear.
Stay when it’s heavy.
Stay when it’s quiet.
Stay when there’s nowhere to hide.
If you stay — stay completely.
Or don’t stay at all.
⸻
[Outro — bass fading, voice alone]
No games.
No distance.
Just truth.
Or nothing.
