Lyrics

[Intro – Chinese Instrumental Feel]
[Guzheng plucks, bamboo flute swells, ambient pads]
[Vocal: whispered, soft falsetto hums]
[Whispered] Mmm… Sometimes the pain we hide is the wall that blocks the love we crave…

⸻

[Verse 1 – Traditional Chinese Style]
[Instruments: Guzheng, erhu, soft rainstick, subtle trap hats]
[Vocal: chest voice with falsetto flips]
We’ve been walking through the fire, secrets heavy in our chest
Saying “I’m fine” with shaking breath
You cried behind silence, I smiled through the ache
Built walls instead of something we could make
I still see your light inside the pain
But baby, hiding only deepens the strain

⸻

[Chorus – R&B with Harmony Layers]
[Instruments: Piano chords, 808s, ambient strings, soft choir]
[Vocal: mid-range tone, falsetto runs at end]
No more hiding, no more running
Let’s get honest, even if it’s crushing
Tell me what breaks you, I’ll show my scars
Let’s love each other just as we are
We can grow if we both let it show
What we need, what we dream, what we fear
I’m still yours — I’m still here

⸻

[Verse 2 – Indian R&B Blend]
[Instruments: Sitar, tabla, ambient pads, 6/8 groove]
[Vocal: soft vibrato, falsetto on key words]
You gave your heart through a glowing screen
I chased shadows just to feel seen
None of them knew me like you do
Even in silence, I’m drawn to you
Let’s start again, new ground, new light
Truth this loud could make it right

⸻

[Chorus – With Indian Percussion]
[Add tabla rolls, background “oohs”]
[Vocal: repeat chorus with layered harmony]
No more hiding, no more running
Let’s get honest, even if it’s crushing
Tell me what breaks you, I’ll show my scars
Let’s love each other just as we are
We can grow if we both let it show
What we need, what we dream, what we fear
I’m still yours — I’m still here

⸻

[Verse 3 – Caribbean-American Style]
[Instruments: Steelpan, bass groove, reggae guitar]
[Vocal: laid-back, emotional, slight slang]
I ain’t out here chasing random no more
That pain showed me what I can’t ignore
I still dream of loving two or three
But giving you all you need from me
Can I be the only man you desire?
Tell me, baby, is my love still fire?

⸻

[Bridge – Spoken/Sung Minimalist]
[Instruments: Solo piano, faint steelpan]
[Vocal: speak-sing, falsetto at end]
We don’t need perfect… just true
I’m not asking you to forget… just choose
Choose this love again…
[Falsetto] Let’s choose to live

⸻

[Final Chorus – Full Cultural Fusion]
[Instruments: Chinese flute, steelpan, tabla, R&B synths]
[Vocal: powerful chest voice, gospel-style harmony]
No more silence, no more guessing
Let’s stop pretending, start confessing
Tell me what saves you, what you truly need and will do?
I still want forever — and I mean it still
We can thrive if we both stay alive
What you need, I’ll give
Let’s choose each other, let’s choose to live

⸻

[Outro – Return to Chinese Serenity]
[Guzheng solo, bamboo flute fade, wind chimes]
[Vocal: whispered breath]
[Whispered] No more hiding… just you and me… finally.
