NEVER BE THAT PERSON-KC by PepperVice - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro – breathy, emotional, raw mic tone]

(quiet inhale)

I’m not a good listener…

But I swear I’m trying.

⸻

[Verse 1 – soft, shaky, but grounded]

I’m not a good listener,

I talk like a hurricane.

Trying to be a better person,

But I break more than I change.

You say I treat people wrong,

But I’m fighting my own fight.

Trying to fix my darkness

With a pocket full of light.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – lift, emotional rasp begins]

I swear I’m trying harder,

But the mirror never lies.

I’m the hero and the villain

In the same pair of eyes.

⸻

[Chorus – BIG Kelly belt, open vowels, raspy edges]

I will NEVER be that person

You’re begging me to be.

I will NEVER change my heart

To fit your fantasy.

Yeah, I’ll love you ’til it kills me,

I’ll hurt you just the same —

But I’m standing right beside you

Even when you curse my name.

⸻

[Verse 2 – conversational pop-rock tone]

You say that I’m the problem,

But you love me when I bleed.

You want a better version,

You want more than I can be.

I talk like I’m defensive,

But I’m terrified inside.

Every time you say “I love you,”

Something in me wants to hide.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 2 – louder lift, more belt]

I’m a storm you keep on chasing,

I’m a mess you try to hold.

I’m the warmth you keep on chasing,

I’m the fire growing cold.

⸻

[Chorus – even bigger, rock drums enter]

I will NEVER be that person

You’re begging me to be.

I will NEVER change my heart

To fit your fantasy.

Yeah, I’ll love you ’til it kills me,

I’ll hurt you just the same —

But I’m standing right beside you

Even when you curse my name.

⸻

[Bridge – soft → explosive, classic Kelly]

I will never stop loving,

Even when I fall apart.

I will always keep on breaking

Just to rebuild my own heart.

You will never understand me,

But you’ll never walk away —

Because broken people love

In the loudest kind of way.

(BIG DRUM ROLL)

⸻

[Final Chorus – FULL Kelly Clarkson scream-belt]

I will NEVER be that person

You imagine when you dream.

I will NEVER fit the picture

Of what perfect’s supposed to mean.

But I’ll love you ’til it kills me,

Even if you call me wrong —

I’m a lifetime full of chaos,

But you’ll MISS ME when I’m GONE.

⸻

[Outro – raspy whisper, pulled back]

(whisper)

Never be that person…

But I’m still here.
