[Beat: Emotional trap, 140 BPM. Starts with a melodic, somber piano loop and heavy 808 sub-bass kicks. Hi-hats in a rapid, ticking pattern.]
(Intro: Vocal Ad-libs, echoed)
Yeah... (Wait for me)
This distance... (I swear)
Uh-huh...
[Hook]
This distance slowly killin' me (Killin' me)
I just need you right here, can you believe in me? (Please believe)
Circumstances tryna twist our fate, but can you wait for me? (Wait for me)
Givin' it my best, yeah, I'm on my grind, fightin' the hate in me
When shit gets hard, all I think is how you'd feel (How you'd feel)
If I let go, selfish, would your love stay real? (Stay real)
I made a promise, girl, I won't let go, I'm fightin' for what's real
I love you bad, I swear I do, this shit is so surreal.
[Verse 1]
Look in the mirror, "Are you the man?" Fuck that, the mirror lie
Mentally ain't alright, and that just makes me wanna die
I get so confused, my head's a tickin' bomb, pressure cookin'
But to this mental state, I swear to God, I'll never be succumbin'
This is just to tell you how much I really wanna be there
Fightin' to build a better me, show you how much I care
So I can hold you when you fightin' battles, love you through the pain
I know you got chapters in your story, scared to open them again.
But wait...
[Hook]
This distance slowly killin' me (Killin' me)
I just need you right here, can you believe in me? (Please believe)
Circumstances tryna twist our fate, but can you wait for me? (Wait for me)
Givin' it my best, yeah, I'm on my grind, fightin' the hate in me
When shit gets hard, all I think is how you'd feel (How you'd feel)
If I let go, selfish, would your love stay real? (Stay real)
I made a promise, girl, I won't let go, I'm fightin' for what's real
I love you bad, I swear I do, this shit is so surreal.
[Bridge]
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, I mean it so bad (So bad)
Through the good and the tragic, the happy and the sad (And the sad)
I'ma make you believe in true love yet again (Again)
Heal all the wounds that were left by other men.
So, girl...
[Verse 2]
Every day is a war, but you're the peace I'm fightin' toward
My sanctuary, my blessing, my ultimate reward.
Even on the days the voices in my mind get loud and vicious
My love for you is the quiet truth, sincere and ambitious.
So I'ma stack this paper, build a life under a better sun
Fix my mental, one by one, 'til all the broken pieces are one.
Just need you to hold on, trust the process, trust the plan
I'm your man, doin' everything a real one can.
[Outro]
So, hey... just wait for me awhile.
I love you.
And that's all I got to say.
(Yeah)
(Wait for me... vocal fades out with piano)
