⸻
[Intro – Soft, breathy (low alto)]
(piano only)
I see you…
Even when they don’t…
⸻
[Verse 1 – Alto (intimate, close mic)]
Flash lights, they’re calling your name
But I see the weight behind the fame
They cheer you loud, then turn away
Like love’s a game they only play
They don’t hear the quiet in your voice
Don’t see the cost behind the choice
They take your truth and twist it thin
Then blame you for the world you’re in
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Rising (alto → mix)]
You’re only human, just like me
But they don’t let you just be free
Every breath you take’s a line
They cross it, then call it a crime
(soft Korean layer):
괜찮아, 넌 충분해 (it’s okay, you are enough)
⸻
[Chorus – Soprano (emotional, strong belt)]
Why they love you just to hate you now?
Build you up just to break you down
You just wanna live, love, make your sound
But they turn your light into a blackout
(lift higher, emotional crack allowed)
I’m screaming but you don’t hear me loud
Standing here inside this crowd
If I could take the pain somehow
I would carry it for you right now
⸻
[Post-Chorus – Soft falsetto echo]
I won’t turn away…
I won’t walk away…
⸻
[Verse 2 – Alto (more emotion, slight grit)]
One night turns into headlines fast
Like growing up’s a thing you can’t have
They point and judge from far away
But never lived a single day
They say “too much,” they say “too far”
But don’t know who you really are
And saying “sorry” just to breathe
Feels like the world won’t let you be
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Stronger lift]
You gave them everything you had
They took the good and made it bad
But I still see you standing tall
Even when you start to fall
⸻
[Chorus – Bigger, layered vocals]
Why they love you just to hate you now?
Build you up just to break you down
You just wanna live, love, make your sound
But they turn your light into a blackout
(harmonies + high soprano overlay)
I’m screaming but you don’t hear me loud
Fighting through this endless crowd
If I could shield you from it all
You’d never have to feel this fall
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken/Sung (raw, emotional)]
(minimal instrumental, heartbeat bass)
You don’t owe them perfection…
You don’t owe them your pain…
(builds into singing)
They criticize the way you breathe
Then wonder why you can’t find peace
(strong vocal lift)
You’re allowed to live your life
You’re allowed to be alive
⸻
[Final Chorus – Soft → explosive soprano peak]
(starts stripped)
They don’t know you like I do…
(full instrumental hits)
Why they love you just to hate you now?
I won’t let them break you down
You deserve to live, love, make your sound
Even when the world gets loud
(highest note, emotional release)
I’ll be here through it all
Even if the whole world falls
⸻
[Outro – Gentle, emotional resolve (soft soprano)]
(piano fades)
When the lights go out…
And the noise fades down…
I’ll still be here…
Thank you for staying strong
