If You Stayed

(Style: Dark dance-pop with art-pop flair at a tense midtempo pulse, trap drums and sub-bass driving dark rap verses into bright chant hooks; verses stay clipped and close-mic with autotune sheen, pre-chorus opens into stacked falsetto and breathy doubles, chorus explodes with gang vocals and pitch-shifted ad-libs, reversed swells, and sparkly stutter FX bridge the drops; final chorus adds bigger harmonies and distorted kick. Bright, glossy, claustrophobic mix., rap, male vocals, bright, pop)

Verse 1

I leave the light on

Like you might come back

Even though you told me

You don’t do that

The room feels wider

When you’re not here

Like every quiet corner

Learns my fear

Pre-Chorus

I don’t say it out loud

But I’m saying it now

Chorus

If you stayed, I’d be okay

I’d forget the words I couldn’t say

If you stayed a little longer here

I wouldn’t disappear

If you stayed, I’d learn your name

Like it wasn’t always pain

If you stayed, I’d let it be

Just you and me

Verse 2

I hear your laughter

In passing trains

Like memory echoes

Inside my veins

I don’t move on

I just move slow

Like something in me

Already knows

Pre-Chorus

It’s always the same

You’re just a name

Chorus

If you stayed, I’d be okay

I’d forget the words I couldn’t say

If you stayed a little longer here

I wouldn’t disappear

If you stayed, I’d learn your name

Like it wasn’t always pain

If you stayed, I’d let it be

Just you and me

Bridge

But you don’t stay

And I don’t leave

So we live somewhere

Between belief

Final Chorus

If you stayed, I’d be okay

But you’re already far away

If you stayed a little longer here

I’d hold you near

If you stayed, I’d learn your name

Even if it still feels the same

If you stayed, I’d let it be

Just you and me
