[Verse 1 – Male]
You look tired of the weight you carry,
All that guilt like it’s something holy,
Tell me, does it make you better—
Or just painfully lonely?
[Male]
I’ve been watching how you hesitate,
Second-guessing every move you make,
You call it conscience, call it virtue—
I just see a chance you didn’t take.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Female]
I know your voice, I’ve heard it before,
In every thought I tried to ignore,
You dress it up like it’s my desire,
But it always ends in something worse.
[Female]
You promise ease, you promise control,
Like there’s no cost for selling your soul,
But I’ve seen what happens down that road—
You don’t give, you just take.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Both, circling]
Male: I don’t take, I rearrange
Female: You don’t fix, you just exchange
Male: Pain for power, loss for gain
Female: You just rename the same old pain
⸻
[Chorus – Both at same time]
So tell me what it’s gonna be,
A life of doubt or certainty?
One step closer, cross the line,
You lose a little, but you gain a spine.
Male: I can give you everything
Female: At what cost, what does it bring?
Male: Just a whisper, just a sign—
Both Together: All it takes is one small line.
⸻
[Verse 3 – Male]
You want to be more than invisible,
More than quietly miserable,
I can make them see your name,
Carve it deep where it’s unforgettable.
[Male]
No more waiting, no more doubt,
No more living half-in, half-out,
You could be the one they follow—
Not the one they talk about.
⸻
[Verse 4 – Female]
And what happens when it’s done?
When I become what I’ve outrun?
Do I still know who I am,
Or just what I’ve become?
[Female]
You make it sound so clean, so clear,
But there’s always something underneath,
A shadow stitched into the gift—
A quiet price I’ll have to keep.
⸻
[Bridge – Back and Forth, intense persuasion]
Male: You’re already halfway there
Female: That’s exactly what I fear
Male: You’ve crossed lines you won’t admit
Female: Not like this, not all of it
Male: You want control, you want release
Female: I want truth, I want peace
Male: Peace is just a slower fall
Female: At least I’d still feel it all
Male: Feelings fade, power stays
Female: Power twists in ugly ways
Male: Only if you let it bend
Female: That’s how it always ends
⸻
[Break – Temptation softens, almost gentle]
Male: I’m not asking for forever
Just a moment, just a choice
Female : That’s the part that makes it worse—
It still sounds like my own voice
⸻
[Final Chorus – Both, pulling closer]
Male: I can give you what you need
Female: Or become what I can’t be
Male: Just a step, don’t overthink
Female: That’s exactly how I sink
Male: Sign it once, it’s set in stone
Female: Or walk away and stay alone
Male: You don’t have to feel this small—
Both Together: One decision changes all.
⸻
[Outro – Ambiguous, unresolved]
Male (whisper): You know you want this
Female (quiet): I know I might
Male: Just say the word—
Female: …not tonight
