[Intro: Soft Acoustic Guitar & Warm Hum]
[Ad-lib] (Mm-hmm, chipped mug warm in my hand...)
[Ad-lib] (Yeah, I like your energy... let’s level up)
[Verse 1: Confident R&B Flow]
You want the soft side, but you came with a little more nerve
I can hold you down, but I need proof you know what I’m worth
They call me Miss Independent, I pay my own way, no show
But my love ain’t on a shelf, it’s not something I let go slow
I got a full life, I need somebody steady enough to stand with me
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Bass Swell & Snaps]
My chest won’t quit, it’s beating loud
Every pause pulls the truth out
Will you want me here when I’m not polished?
When the makeup’s gone and the room gets honest?
[Vocal Stutter] (U-U-Understand!) I need you to listen to me!
[Chorus: Explosive Belt & Shouting Choir]
Knock, knock, can you feel that pull when you’re close?
Tap, tap, I’m letting my guard go
Your edges on mine, now we’re clicking into something new
You saw the bills, still saw somebody worth the work
Found the missing piece, no more hiding, no more running free
'Cause you’re the one that brings out the best in me!
[Verse 2: Snappy Afro-R&B Cadence]
Morning light through the blinds, same chipped mug, coffee going cold
Phone buzzed with your text, and my whole bad mood let go
You watched me twist up my hair, the frizz, the flyaways
Saw me eat cold cereal, no filter, no pretty display
In the bathroom mirror, I said, “I’m scared,” but I’m still coming through
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Bass Swell & Snaps]
My pulse is up, I’m running hot
Every quiet second ties a knot
Can you hold me when I’m not put together?
Say it now—don’t let me spiral here
[Ad-lib] (Understand me, baby!)
[Chorus: Explosive Belt & Shouting Choir]
Knock, knock, can you feel that pull when you’re close?
Tap, tap, I’m letting my guard go
Your edges on mine, now we’re clicking into something new
You saw the bills, still saw somebody worth the work
Found the missing piece, no more hiding, no more running free
'Cause you’re the one that brings out the best in me!
[Bridge: Solo Acoustic Guitar & Cello]
These walls I built don’t hold for long
My “I’m fine” look never lasts that strong
I’ve got my pride, but I’m letting your love take the lead
What if needing you is where I start?
[Drop] (Three, two, one — drop the beat!)
[Chorus: Maximum Holy Energy, Full Brass & Choir]
Knock, knock, feel that beat in my chest when you’re close!
Tap, tap, count my breath, I’m letting my guard go!
Your edges on mine, now we’re clicking into something new
The missing piece is found, no more hiding, no more running free
When you say my real name, the one you only call me by
It feels like home, just you and I!
[Outro: Slow Fade, Piano & Ocean Waves]
You stay, and the room gets softer.
I set the mug down, and I’m not bracing anymore.
Your hand finds mine like it already knew the way.
The missing piece is found.
Yeah, I can feel it now. This is it.
[Ad-lib] (Home.)
[End]
