VERSE 1 (soft, intimate — almost spoken-sung)
Life builds moments we don’t always understand
And I was empty for a while, tryna make sense of where we stand
But I see now
It was you
The softness in your heart
The way you speak without even trying
And somehow it reaches me
Every time
You’re not just passing through my life
You feel like something I recognize
⸻
PRE-CHORUS (slight lift, emotional build)
I don’t need perfection
I just need something real
Something I can hold onto
Something I can feel
And somehow you give me that
Without even trying too hard
⸻
CHORUS (OPEN VOCAL — soul release)
I keep coming back to you
Not because I have to
But because it feels like home
Every time I hear your truth
In your love, I don’t feel alone
You pull me back when I drift too far
And even in the silence
You still know who we are
(hold last line / ad-lib: “you still know who we are…”)
⸻
VERSE 2 (more grounded, storytelling)
I don’t always write it out
But I feel it in my chest
When you show up with intention
It quiets all the rest
And I see you trying too
Even when it’s hard to do
That’s why I don’t walk away
I stay with you
⸻
PRE-CHORUS 2 (more emotion, slightly stronger)
It’s not about being perfect
It’s about being true
And every time I slow down
I come back to you
⸻
CHORUS (repeat — stronger vocals, slight ad-libs)
I keep coming back to you
Not because I have to
But because it feels like home
Every time I hear your truth
In your love, I don’t feel alone
You pull me back when I drift too far
And even in the silence
You still know who we are
⸻
BRIDGE (raw R&B soul moment — almost vulnerable break)
I’m not here for temporary love
I’m not here for games
I just want something steady
That still feels the same
Even when we’re not okay
Even when we don’t know what to say
If this is really love
Then don’t let it fade away
⸻
FINAL CHORUS (bigger, layered, emotional runs allowed)
I keep coming back to you
Not because I have to
But because it feels like home
Every time I hear your truth
In your love, I don’t feel alone
You pull me back when I drift too far
And even in the silence
You still know who we are
(ad-libs: “you still know… you still know…” / vocal runs fading out)
