Come With Me Anyway

[Verse 1]
Heart split open
Screens still glow your name
All these mixed up letters
But the hurt feels the same
You say you’re better off
Talking like I’m not enough
I’m replaying every moment
Till my head just gives up
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you want me stuck
Like I’m nailed to the floor
Say I got no friends
Then you’re knocking on my door
Half the time you swear
I’m out running wild
But I’m home in the dark
Just missing your smile
[Chorus]
Come with me anyway
Even if you’re scared of what you see
Come with me anyway
Even when you’re doubting every piece of me
I’m confused
I’m bruised
But I still choose you today
If you don’t know what you feel
Baby
Come with me anyway
[Verse 2]
You throw those sharp words
Then hide behind a joke
Say I’m out with everyone
But I’m sleeping in your old coat
You don’t trust the pictures
You don’t trust my phone
I’d hand you every secret
Just to not be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you want me stuck
Like I’ll never move on
Say I got no one
But you’re still my favorite song
Half the time I’m quiet
Trying not to cry
Other half I’m praying
You’ll just meet me halfway this time
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’m standing in the hallway
Keys cold in my hand
If I ask you to come with me
Could you try to understand?
I’m not what you’re afraid of
I’m just broken
Just real
So if you ever feel lost
Baby
I’m the one who’ll stay
Who’ll stay and heal
[Chorus]

Smoky mid-tempo R&B ballad, sparse drums and warm sub-bass, with silky male vocals sitting upfront. Verses ride a lazy swung groove over soft electric piano and muted guitar; chorus widens with stacked harmonies, airy pads, and a simple, memorable top line. Occasional ad-libs answer the lead, and the bridge strips back to just keys and vocal before the final lift.
