All For You

[Verse 1]
[low male vocal register]
Woke up worn out
Eyes still heavy from the night we had
Bills on the table
Your voice shaking
Trying not to get mad
I see the cracks in the ceiling
Same as the cracks in us two
Every breath feels like lifting
But I’m still lifting it for you
[Chorus]
I do it all for you
When my body’s breaking
My faith is fading
I do it all for you
Every hard word spoken
Every promise shaking
Feels like we’re losing
Barely making it through
But I still push
Still move
I do it all for you
[Verse 2]
[female vocal enters]
I’m so tired of the arguing
Every small thing turns into a war
You say you’re trying
I’m trying too
Yet we’re both crying on the kitchen floor
You hold my hand like an apology
Say
“Baby
I don’t wanna see you blue”
I don’t have much strength left in me
But what I have
I give to you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[soft duet
Almost whispered]
[male] Every step feels heavy
[female] Every word feels sharp
[male] We’re dragging all this history
[female] Like chains around our hearts
[together]
But when I see you shaking
And you still reach out your hand
I remember why I’m staying
Why we still try again
[Chorus]

Moody modern R&B duet with male and female vocals trading lines; sparse, warm keys and a deep, slow groove. Verses stay intimate with close-mic whispers and subtle guitar swells; chorus widens with stacked harmonies, call-and-response, and a fat bass underneath. Bridge strips back to just keys and soft pads before a final, powerful chorus reprise., r&b
