[Intro]
[Female – low, steady]
This where it settle
Or split
[Male – calm, grounded]
Either way
We don’t lie now
⸻
[Verse 1]
[Female]
I stood still long enough to feel
What’s real don’t need to yell
I chased fire, I chased escape
But this weight don’t fade
I don’t need you to save me
I don’t need you to swear
Just tell me if you’re standing
When the quiet get unfair
⸻
[Verse 1 – Answer]
[Male]
I don’t promise light or ease
I don’t fold when pressure breathe
If I’m here, I’m here complete
Not halfway, not discreet
I been tested by the noise
I been shaped by what destroys
If you asking what I choose
I choose you
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Overlap]
[Female]
Say it plain, don’t dress it up
[Male]
I don’t leave when it get rough
[Female]
If I fall, don’t reach too fast
[Male]
I’ll stand firm, make it last
⸻
[Chorus – Both | heavy but resolved]
[Female]
You still under my skin, but it’s calm
[Male]
Like a low note holding the song
[Female]
Not obsession, not a fight
[Male]
Just weight done right
[Both]
Slow burn, chosen truth
You still under my skin
⸻
[Verse 2]
[Male]
I don’t need to cage your flame
I don’t fear your past or name
If you walk ahead or slow
I’ll match pace, not pull
I don’t win by holding tight
I win by staying through the night
Every scar you never show
Still welcome
⸻
[Verse 2 – Reply]
[Female]
That’s the part I’m learning now
How to breathe without a doubt
I don’t need the rush I knew
I need something that stay true
If I shake, don’t call it weak
I been strong for weeks and weeks
Let me rest inside this sound
Let the ground hold us down
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Call & Response]
[Male]
Still with me?
[Female]
Yeah, I’m here
[Male]
No running?
[Female]
No fear
⸻
[Chorus – Fuller, warmer]
[Female]
You still under my skin, not a scar
[Male]
More like rhythm in my heart
[Female]
It don’t burn, it don’t bruise
[Male]
It just stays
[Both]
Slow burn, steady truth
You still under my skin
⸻
[Bridge – Minimal | guitar hum + sub bass]
[Female]
If this is it…
[Male]
I’m in
[Female]
If this get heavy…
[Male]
I lift
[Both – quiet]
No more edges
⸻
[Final Chorus – Unified]
[Female]
You still under my skin, and I’m good
[Male]
Even when the silence rude
[Female]
I don’t need louder proof
[Male]
I don’t need escape
[Both]
Slow burn, solid truth
You still under my skin
⸻
[Outro]
[Female]
So this is us
[Male]
Yeah
[Both – fading]
Still standing
