Intro – Female | breathy, closer than before]
You still here
I thought you’d leave
Funny how you never do
[Intro – Male | low, calm]
I don’t run
You knew that
⸻
[Verse 1 – Female]
I told myself I’d keep control
But your silence pulling me close
I memorized the way you stand
Like you already understand
I feel you before you move
Every step breaking something loose
I don’t ask, I just wait
Like I know what this’ll take
⸻
[Verse 1 – Male | answering]
You don’t look away this time
That’s how I know you crossed the line
I don’t need to touch your skin
To feel how deep you letting me in
I stay still, let you decide
I don’t push, I don’t hide
Every breath you take too slow
Tell me everything I need to know
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Overlap]
Female:
Say something, or don’t
Male:
I hear you either way
Female:
I’m standing on the edge
Male:
I’ve been here, waiting
⸻
[Chorus – Both | restrained, heavy]
Female:
You still under my skin, worse than before
Male:
Every time you pull back, I pull you more
Female:
I don’t know if this ends clean
Male:
I don’t care what it costs me
Both:
Slow burn, no defense
You still under my skin
⸻
[Verse 2 – Male | darker]
I don’t promise light or safe
I don’t sell you escape
If you step in, you stay
That’s the truth, not a threat
I don’t play with hearts half-open
Every silence already spoken
If you want me, say it plain
If you don’t, walk away
⸻
[Verse 2 – Female | conflicted]
That’s the thing, I can’t
Every part of me shaking
I know what this might break
But I’m tired of pretending
I don’t want gentle tonight
I want real, even if it bites
If I fall, don’t catch me slow
Let me feel it all
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Call & Response]
Male:
You sure you want this weight?
Female:
I already feel it
Male:
Once I’m in, I don’t fade
Female:
Then don’t disappear
⸻
[Chorus – Both | stronger]
Female:
You still under my skin, deep in my chest
Male:
Every word you don’t say hit harder next
Female:
I don’t know where this ends
Male:
I don’t need it to
Both:
Slow burn, no pretense
You still under my skin
⸻
[Bridge – Breakdown | whispered stack]
Female:
If this ruins me…
Male:
I won’t stop it
Female:
If I lose myself…
Male:
I’ll be right there
Both (soft):
Don’t save me
Stay with me
⸻
[Final Chorus – Full, emotional peak]
Female:
You still under my skin, I let you stay
Male:
Every wall falling further away
Female:
I don’t fight it, I don’t pretend
Male:
I don’t leave when it gets intense
Both:
Slow burn, no regret
You still under my skin
⸻
[Outro – Split lines]
Female:
If this is a mistake…
Male:
It’s one we make
Both (fading):
Together
