[Tempo: 74 BPM]
[Key: E♭ Minor (deep, moody, sensual)]
[Vibe: Minimal but lush — Rhodes chords, warm bass, soft snare with ghost notes, and saxophone or muted guitar fills]
Chords: E♭m9 B♭m7 A♭m9 B♭m7]
[Leave space after each lyric — don’t fill every beat.]
[Intro – 0:00–0:10] [(Rhodes + bass groove, soft rim taps)]
[Spoken/breathed ad-libs over Rhodes]
Mmm… yeah…
Ooh, baby…
[Verse 1 – 0:11–0:40]
We said goodbye more times than I can count
But somehow, we still find our way back around
Every word cuts deep, every kiss still burns
Every time we walk away, we always return
[Pre-Chorus – 0:41–0:55]
Can’t deny what we feel
Even when it’s pain, it’s real
We’re tangled up, and it’s too late
We can’t escape this fate…
[Chorus – 0:56–1:18]
We keep on fighting for each other, even when we thought we were done
Every battle leads us back where we begun
We keep on loving, even when we swore it was through
No matter how far I run, I run back to you
[Verse 2 – 1:19–1:48]
It’s in the silence, it’s in the storm
In the way your hands still feel like home
We break apart, then we fall again
The sweetest sin I can’t defend
[Pre-Chorus – 1:49–2:03]
Can’t deny what we feel
Even when it’s pain, it’s real
We’re tangled up, and it’s too late
We can’t escape this fate…
[Chorus – 2:04–2:26]
We keep on fighting for each other, even when we thought we were done
Every battle leads us back where we begun
We keep on loving, even when we swore it was through
No matter how far I run, I run back to you
[Bridge – 2:27–2:47] [(Breakdown — just Rhodes, bass, and light snare taps)]
Maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s right
Maybe we’re just made to fight
But I’d rather lose every round with you
Than win alone without you
[Final Chorus – 2:48–3:10] [(Full groove returns, harmonies on the hook)]
We keep on fighting, even when we thought we were done
Every battle leads us back where we begun
We keep on loving, even when we swore it was through
No matter how far I run, I run back to you
[Outro – 3:11–3:30] [(Fade with bass riff + vocal ad-libs)]
We keep on…
We keep on…
Fighting, loving, back to you…
