[Verse 1 – Ambient synths, soft electronic textures; vulnerable and lonely]
I learned how to hide in plain sight,
Smile at the right time,
Say that I'm alright.
Everybody knows the version
I let them see.
But nobody stays long enough
To know me.
---
[Pre-Chorus – Rising pads and pulsing bass; yearning and fragile]
I'm tired of being
Easy to leave.
Tired of feeling
Like nobody sees.
---
[Chorus – Melodic synths, punchy drums, layered vocals; emotional release]
Can you see me?
Not the smile,
Not the mask,
Not the parts I learned to be.
Can you see me?
When the walls come down,
When there's nothing left
Between you and me.
I don't need you to fix me.
I just need somebody
Who stays.
---
[Post-Chorus / Drop – Atmospheric lead synth, vocal chops; longing and expansive]
Stay...
Stay...
Oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh...
Don't look away.
---
[Verse 2 – Ambient synths, electronic percussion; reflective and exposed]
I've spent so much time
Being what they need.
Listening to everybody else,
While nobody listens to me.
And maybe that's why
I keep my heart hidden.
Because every time I open it,
Someone leaves with a piece of it.
---
[Pre-Chorus – Building arps and tension; aching and uncertain]
I'm tired of wondering
If I'm too much.
Or not enough.
---
[Chorus – Full drums, soaring synths, layered harmonies; emotional release]
Can you see me?
Not the smile,
Not the mask,
Not the parts I learned to be.
Can you see me?
When the walls come down,
When there's nothing left
Between you and me.
I don't need you to fix me.
I just need somebody
Who stays.
---
[Post-Chorus / Drop – Cinematic synth lead, vocal chops; yearning and expansive]
Stay...
Stay...
Oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh...
Don't look away.
---
[Instrumental Break – Atmospheric synth lead, vocal chops, cinematic energy]
Oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh...
---
[Bridge – Stripped-back pads and distant piano; raw and vulnerable]
If you saw every fear,
Every scar,
Every part I try to hide...
Would you still be here?
(Ooh...)
Would you stay
When I'm difficult?
Would you stay
When I'm quiet?
Would you stay
When I'm not okay?
---
[Final Chorus – Biggest synths, driving drums, cinematic layers; emotional climax]
Can you see me?
The real me.
The part that's terrified
You'll leave eventually.
Can you see me?
And choose to stay
Even after everything
You find.
I don't need perfection.
I don't need promises.
I just need somebody
Who stays.
---
[Final Post-Chorus / Drop – Soaring lead synth and vocal chops; cathartic and hopeful]
Stay...
Stay...
Oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh...
For once in my life,
Don't look away.
---
[Outro – Fading pads, echoes, ambient textures; quiet and hopeful]
See me.
Hear me.
Stay.
Dayzzz
