Intention

Intro (spoken, low, intimate — no melody yet)

Everybody loud… (so loud)

Everybody performin’ (for who?)

But love don’t live on stages (no)

It shows up when nobody’s clappin’

I’ve been impressed before (yeah)

I’ve been disappointed too (mm)

I don’t listen to the volume (I don’t)

I listen to what you do

(soft background hum under last line)

Verse 1

I don’t move for attention (no)

I move when it’s aligned (aligned)

If you say you’re here for me (say it)

Show me over time

I don’t need the extras (no)

I need intention clear (clear)

I can feel when love is real (I can)

And when it’s just near

I watch how you stay consistent (stay)

When it ain’t fun no more (mm)

I don’t fall for grand gestures (no)

I fall for the everyday core

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need to be posted (no)

I don’t need to be seen (seen)

Just don’t make me feel alone (don’t)

Standing right next to me

Chorus

Fuck the attention (fuck that)

It’s about the intention (intention)

How you love when it’s inconvenient (inconvenient)

How you show up without mention

I don’t need the spotlight (no)

I need consistency (steady)

If you say you’re down for me (say it)

Let your actions speak

Verse 2

I’ve been the quiet support (I have)

While being taken for granted (mm)

I don’t give access easy (no)

My heart ain’t an open canvas

I don’t need promises stacked (no)

I need follow-through (follow through)

If you say you got me (say it)

I need to feel it too

I value presence in silence (silence)

More than words on repeat (mm)

I don’t want loud love (no)

I want love that feels deep

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need constant reassurance (no)

I need to trust your pace (your pace)

I need to feel secure (secure)

When I’m resting in your space

Chorus

Fuck the attention (fuck that)

It’s about the intention (intention)

Do you stay when it’s uncomfortable? (stay)

Do you mean it when you mention it?

I don’t need everybody (no)

I need someone who’s sure (be sure)

If you want this heart right here (right here)

Come correct, come pure

Bridge (melodic, airy)

I don’t need perfection (no)

I need awareness (aware)

I don’t need control (no)

I need to feel you care

If you see me clearly (see me)

You won’t rush my soul (don’t rush)

If you want me fully (fully)

You’ll already know

Outro (no hums, just finality)

No applause needed

No audience required

If it’s real…

It’ll last
