[Verse 1 – Male, soft, low]
Hon-est-ly, I’m scared of be-ing a-lone,
Sleepless nights cut straight to the bone.
Em-pty words, a mask upon my face—
Would any-one no-tice, would any-one trace?
[Verse 2 – Female, strong, controlled]
They tell me “stand tall, don’t e-ver fall,”
But strength can be the heaviest wall.
I burn like fire, I take the f***t,
Yet who will hold me in the night?
[Pre-Chorus – Male, volume rising]
Does fate have mer-cy, or will I be damned?
A tree once bloom-ing, now bro-ken, un-manned.
The petals are gone, they won’t re-turn—
I watch them wi-ther, I watch them burn.
[Pre-Chorus – Female, strong with crack]
They call me fierce, they call me flame,
But pow-er’s a mask that hides my name.
I can be strong, but deep in-side—
I need a place where I can hide.
[Chorus – Male, emotional, pleading]
Will some-one see me, for all that I am?
Not with kind lies, not a-no-ther sham.
I’m beg-ging—don’t let me dis-ap-pear,
Just see me once, see me clear.
[Chorus – Female, almost overlapping male, starts strong then softens]
See the fire, but see the ache,
See the bur-den no one can take.
I am not end-less, I’m flesh and bone—
I don’t want to stand a-lone.
Strong e-nough, but still in need,
A hand to catch me when I bleed.
[Bridge – Both, overlapping]
Male (soft, trembling): See me… see me…
Female (higher, cracking): See the fire, see the ache…
Both swell mid-line, then fade into soft, broken harmony.
