⸻ “Don’t Chase Me Back” (Piano Ballad) Verse 1 (gentle, sparse chords) I stayed longer than I should Hoping somehow you would Turn and see me standing there With all this love laid bare I learned your silence like a song Tried to sing where I went wrong Chorus (melody opens, still soft) But I won’t chase what fades away Won’t beg your heart to want to stay If you don’t reach for me in time I’ll take these hands of mine And hold them close, and let you go Even if it hurts me so ’Cause love shouldn’t feel this blue If I have to chase you ⸻ Verse 2 (slightly fuller chords) There were moments, warm and real Just enough for me to feel Maybe we were something more Than what we turned into before But “almost” doesn’t hold a flame It flickers out, it doesn’t remain ⸻ Chorus (a little more lift) So I won’t chase what fades away Won’t beg your heart to want to stay If you don’t reach for me in time I’ll take these hands of mine And hold them close, and let you go Even if it hurts me so ’Cause love shouldn’t feel this blue If I have to chase you ⸻ Bridge (pause… then quiet rise) If it’s right, it won’t feel so unsure It won’t leave me standing at the door Waiting for a sign to come When love’s already gone ⸻ Final Chorus (emotional peak, then soften) No, I won’t chase what fades away I won’t beg your heart to stay If you don’t choose me, I’ll choose peace And finally release What I held when you held back All the love you couldn’t match And though a part of me will bruise I won’t chase… I won’t chase you ⸻ Outro (barely above a whisper) I’ll be right here if love is true But I won’t run… After you
