Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was right there, patient
Same old coat, same old rain
Kept your number in my pocket
Like a bruise I couldn’t name
You called when the room got heavy
I showed up, stayed too long
Held your truths with both my hands
While you kept me off the song
[Pre-Chorus]
Anthony, look at me
I stood in the dark for you
I was ready, baby
Tell me what else could I do
You leaned on me, then left me
Right where the hurt got loud
I gave you my softest part
You gave me half a vow
[Chorus]
Anthony, why?
Why’d you pass me by?
I was down for you
Down for you every time
Anthony, why?
Why’d you shut that door?
I was your sure thing
And I still wanted more
(Anthony, why?)
(I wanted more)
[Verse 2]
You got that girl-dad smile
Soft hands, big Sunday heart
I saw the way you lit up
When your little ones ran past the dark
And I loved that part of you
The part that made me stay
But being kind ain’t being chosen
And that truth won’t go away
I never asked for perfect
Just a seat beside your fire
I was there with open arms
You kept me on the wire
[Pre-Chorus]
Anthony, look at me
I stood in the dark for you
I was ready, baby
Tell me what else could I do
You leaned on me, then left me
Right where the hurt got loud
I gave you my softest part
You gave me half a vow
[Chorus]
Anthony, why?
Why’d you pass me by?
I was down for you
Down for you every time
Anthony, why?
Why’d you shut that door?
I was your sure thing
And I still wanted more
(Anthony, why?)
(I wanted more)
[Bridge]
I don’t hate you
I just hate the space you made
All that love, all that waiting
Like a check you never paid
If you knew I was honest
Why’d you let me stand in line?
Why’d you take my whole heart
Just to leave it out of time?
[Chorus]
Anthony, why?
Why’d you pass me by?
I was down for you
Down for you every time
Anthony, why?
Why’d you shut that door?
I was your sure thing
And I still wanted more
Anthony, why?
I said I’d ride with you
You were a girl-dad king
And I love you still, it’s true

Rap blues and R&B with a slow swung pocket, dusty guitar licks, tight 808 taps, and a heartbeat clap; verse rides sparse keys and brushed snares, pre-chorus opens with harmonized cries and a rising bass line, chorus hits with stacked male ad-libs and a plaintive soul hook, bridge drops to lonely guitar and close-mic vocal, final chorus returns with fuller drums, vocal runs, and delay throws on the name. Intimate, grainy, and emotional with a polished late-night mix, r&b, blues, rap
