Lyrics

[Intro: Acapella harmony with humming and soft breathy oohs]

[Lead Vocal - Low tone, tender and close mic]
🎙️
No one knows the storms inside me… like you do,
No one ever stayed when I broke into two.
I was running from love, but you stood still…
Now I’m learning to be the man you always feel.

[Beat enters: Piano + snaps + mellow bass groove]

[Verse 1 - Soft falsetto with falsetto run ending]
You hold me like I’m holy when I’m low,
You read my silence like a prayer you know.
And every time you gave me grace, I found my truth,
I ain’t perfect, but I’m made brand new… by you.

[Background singers (female harmonies): “Brand new… by you…”]

[Chorus - Full beat, drums + strings swell + layered harmonies]
🎶
For you, I rise — I’ll be the man I never knew inside,
For you, I’ll fight — lay down my pride to hold you right.
You love me in a way that makes me stay,
Girl, I need you more with every day…
And I know it now… I know it now… no one loves me like you do.

[Bridge - Instrument switch: acoustic guitar strums + whispery background vocals]
🎙️
When I was lost, your eyes were home,
You kissed my scars and called them gold.
If I ever make you cry again… I’ll fix the sky again.
You’re not just my love, you’re my oxygen.

[Background singers: “He’s learning… he’s healing… he’s choosing you.”]

[Breakdown - Beat slows, falsetto with echo reverb]
🎙️
Girl, I want you. I need you.
I see you. I believe you.
You are the reason I still dream… the only one I call queen.

[Chorus – Smooth, slow tempo R&B groove, whispered falsetto with harmonies]

🎶
You got that flame on slow roast, babe, I bring the hardwood in the rain,
Call it Sunday dinner when we lay — you marinate, I feel no shame.
Your sweet smoke got my timber high, I’m knockin’ steady, built to stay,
Ain’t no swine in my heart, but girl you got that prime filet.

Ooh, you season deep — and I’m the lumber that you crave,
Drippin’ on the grain, yeah, we grind that way…

[Background singers in breathy echo: “Grind that way… on firewood, babe…”]

🎶
For you, I rise — I’ll climb through fire just to feel your light,
For you, I’ll try — no more excuses, only what’s right.
You held my soul when I was broken through…
Now I know that no one loves me like you do.

[Background singers: “No one, no one but you…”]

[Outro - Spoken word over fading beat, intimate tone]
🎙️
Jil… you never gave up on me… so I promise… I’ll never give you a version of me that’s anything less than love. I’m yours. Always.

[Soft piano outro with distant echoes of “I rise… for you…”]
