[Intro – Full Band]
[Bright distorted guitars riffing, tight drums lock in]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh
---
[Verse 1 – Vocals sharp, guitars tight rhythm]
You tear yourself apart in the quiet of your head
Counting every failure louder than the good you’ve bled
But I see a fighter, yeah, I see a flame
Burning through the darkness, carrying my name
---
[Pre-Chorus – Drums build, backing “ahh” harmonies]
[Lead vocal urgent, almost shouted]
You think you’re not enough, but I swear it’s not true
I see the man I love every time I look at you
---
[Chorus – Full band explodes, layered gang vocals]
Take a breath, baby, stand up proud
Stop drowning in the noise that drags you down
I don’t need perfection, I just need your trust
Can’t you see you’ve already given me enough?
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh!
---
[Verse 2 – Drop to bass + hi-hat, vocal clear]
You were dealt the worst, but you made it through the storm
Built a life from ashes, kept our love warm
You don’t see the strength that I’m leaning on
But you’re the melody that keeps me singing on
---
[Pre-Chorus – Guitars chime in, double-time snare]
You don’t have to bleed to prove you’re strong
Just hold me close, that’s where you belong
---
[Chorus – Big, fast, layered harmonies]
Take a breath, baby, stand up proud
Stop drowning in the noise that drags you down
I don’t need perfection, I just need your trust
Can’t you see you’ve already given me enough?
---
[Bridge – Tense, tom-heavy, vocals emotional crack]
[Voice raw, strained, near a shout]
Don’t let the mirror lie, don’t believe its face
I see fire in your eyes, I see our saving grace
If the darkness calls, I’ll scream your name
We’ll burn it down together, nothing stays the same!
---
[Breakdown – Half-time, chugging guitars, gang shouts]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh!
[Band drops out, lone vocal]
You’re more than enough…
---
[Final Chorus – Massive, all-in, soaring vocals]
Take a breath, baby, stand up proud
Stop drowning in the noise that drags you down
I don’t need perfection, I just need your trust
Can’t you see you’ve already given me enough?
---
[Outro – Ringing guitars, vocals trail off]
[Voice softer, breathy]
You’re a decent man with a heart that’s true…
And every single day I’ll believe in you.
