Done with Begging

[Verse 1]
You only call when your bed feels cold
Say my name like a safety code
"I miss you" typed with a shaky thumb
But you never stay till the morning comes
I bent myself into shapes you drew
Kept on bleeding to prove I'm true
You want comfort
You don't want change
You want the fire
Not the flame
[Chorus]
I'm done with begging for a half‑way love
Done trying to teach you what my heart's made of
You want me close
But you don't want my soul
You reach for my body when your pride gets bruised
Then push me away when I tell the truth
You still want me
But I'm hard now
Turned to stone
And I'm better off alone
[Verse 2]
You say
"Don't leave
It was just one lie"
Like the first one wasn't weaponized
You kiss my neck
Then you blur the past
Turn my anger into overreact
You want hands
But not the man
Want the history
Not the plan
You want the version that won't demand
Anything you don't understand
[Chorus]
I'm done with begging for a half‑way love
Done trying to teach you what my heart's made of
You want me close
But you don't want my soul
You reach for my body when your pride gets bruised
Then push me away when I tell the truth
You still want me
But I'm hard now
Turned to stone
And I'm better off alone
[Bridge]
Funny thing
You finally say you’re ready
Now that my pulse for you
Runs steady
Steady
Steady
Flatline calm
No crash
No storm
You want my fire back
But I'm already warm
[Chorus]
I'm done with begging for a half‑way love
Done trying to twist who I am for us
You want me close
But you don't want my soul
You reach for my body when your pride gets bruised
Then call it love when it fits your mood
You still want me
But that soft boy's dead and gone
Yeah
I'm better off alone

Slow-burning alt-R&B ballad, male vocals. Minimal drums and warm sub-bass under moody electric piano and airy pads. Verses stay intimate and dry, almost spoken, then the hook swells with layered harmonies and a slightly thicker groove. Subtle guitar swells and distant vocal chops for texture; final chorus strips back to mostly vocal and keys for a resigned, powerful close.
