[VERSE 1 — calm delivery, head voice leaning, low vibrato]
I don’t raise my voice, I don’t rush the moment (nah…)
I let the room speak before I show intent (mm)
You mistook my patience for lack of emotion (yeah…)
But I just don’t spill what I already meant
I move steady, never need a warning (no rush)
You lean in ‘cause my silence loud (you hear it)
I don’t chase highs, I don’t beg for mornings (nah)
But you still stay when the lights go down
You say I’m easy to be around (too easy)
That’s the part that pull you under
I don’t make threats, I don’t spin you ‘round (no)
I just let you discover (slow…)
⸻
[PRE-HOOK — airy build, breathy adlibs]
You don’t feel danger till it’s subtle (mm)
Till it feel safe, till it feel warm (yeah)
You don’t fall fast, you unravel (slow)
Think you in control… then you gone (gone…)
⸻
[HOOK — airy-Brent vfalsetto, floating, controlled]
I’m calm, but I’m hard to get over (you know)
Soft tone, but I leave a mark (I do)
You don’t see it comin’ closer (mm)
Till you already gave me your heart (too far)
I don’t do chaos, I don’t do drama (nah)
I don’t need to tear you apart
But I’m quiet damage, slow trauma (feel it)
I’m the type you feel long after I’m gone (still…)
⸻
[VERSE 2 — smoother, whisper-tone, darker honesty]
I don’t trap you, I don’t pull strings (never)
I let you walk right where you choose (your move)
That’s why it hit when you realize (yeah)
Ain’t nobody ever moved you like this before I did
You said I feel different from your past (different)
I said that’s ‘cause I don’t compete
I don’t promise shit I can’t last (nah)
I just give you something you can’t delete (it stick)
You thought danger came loud and reckless (mm)
You thought love had to break your skin
But I slip in calm, unannounced (quiet)
And stay embedded in how you live (right there)
⸻
[BRIDGE — stripped, spoken-sung, echo adlibs]
I don’t haunt you… (nah)
I linger… (still here)
I don’t chase you… (never did)
I’m familiar (that’s why)
You don’t miss me loud
You miss me when you feel safe with the wrong ones (mm…)
⸻
[FINAL HOOK — softer, layered, fading]
I’m calm, but I’m hard to get over (you know)
Soft tone, but I leave a mark (yeah)
You don’t see it comin’ closer (mm)
Till you already gave me your heart
I don’t do chaos, I don’t do drama (nah)
I don’t need to tear you apart
But I’m quiet damage, slow trauma (feel me)
I’m the type you feel long after I’m gone (still…)
⸻
[OUTRO REFRAIN STYLE — whispered, intimate, minimal, adlibs]
(beat strips down, bass + pad only)
Refrain (soft, looped):
I’m calm… (mm)
But I’m hard to get over (you know)
I’m calm… (yeah)
But I leave a mark (still here)
(female whisper underneath, barely audible)
“Should’ve known…”
“Should’ve known…”
(instrumental rides out)
