[Intro – 0:00–0:25 | Ambient build]
(Soft thunder, rainfall, a faint synth pad rising. Vocal hums in the background.)
Mmm… yeah…
You said you’d never fade…
But storms don’t wait…
You said love conquers pain…
But love still breaks…
⸻
[Verse 1 – 0:25–1:00]
I been walking through this silence, tryna find my peace,
Heart heavy with the weight of things I never released.
You say love me when it’s easy, but I need more than that,
I need somebody who gon’ hold me when the sky turns black.
Don’t want a savior, I want truth in your eyes,
Someone who’ll stay when the thunder arrives.
Every lie you told, I still felt inside,
But I learned to bleed beautiful — I survived.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – 1:00–1:20]
I ain’t made of diamonds, I’m cracked in gold,
Been through the fire, I’ve been left cold.
But if you ride, then ride my soul,
Don’t let go — don’t let go…
⸻
[Chorus – 1:20–1:55]
Stay when the lightning hits my veins,
When my love burns hot like flames.
I’m not perfect, I’m just pain,
Ride my storm — don’t run away.
Hold me through my darkest phase,
When I break, still say my name.
Baby, love me through the rain,
Ride my storm — don’t run away.
(Vocal ad-libs: “Don’t run, baby… stay… yeah, yeah…”)
[Verse 2 – 1:55–2:25]
You want the calm, but I come with the rage,
Love me soft but I’m born from the cage.
I’ve been drowning, just learning the waves,
You’re the reason I still misbehave.
I don’t need peace if you’re my war,
I’ll take the bruise if your heart’s the cure.
You said forever — I said be sure,
‘Cause love ain’t pretty, but mine is pure.
⸻
[Bridge 1 – 2:25–2:50 | Spoken/whispered tone]
Don’t promise me heaven,
Just promise me truth.
If you can’t handle my fire,
Then don’t light my fuse.
If you ride with me, you ride through pain,
Through thunder, heartbreak, through my rain.
(808s deepen here, layered with a haunting background vocal: “Ride… my… storm…”)
⸻
[Breakdown Bridge 2 – 2:50–3:10 | Beat drops out, acapella + reverb]
Hold me close, through the crash and sound,
When I’m lost, don’t let me drown.
I’ve been running from my own reflection,
But your love feels like resurrection.
(Soft electric guitar or piano hits echo behind each line.)
⸻
[Final Chorus – 3:10–3:40]
Stay when the lightning hits my veins,
When my love burns hot like flames.
I’m not perfect, I’m just pain,
Ride my storm — don’t run away.
Hold me through my darkest phase,
When I break, still say my name.
Baby, love me through the rain,
Ride my storm — don’t run away.
(Final vocal run: “Don’t run… don’t fade… ride my storrrrm…”)
⸻
[Outro – 3:40–4:00 | Instrumental fade]
(Thunder fades, heartbeat bass pulsing under soft keys.)
“Ride my storm…”
(whispered) “Don’t run from love…”
(Ends with faint rainfall and single piano note.)
