Title: “Can’t Give What I Don’t Feel”
(Ann Marie style – R&B/Hip-Hop, emotional + ad libs)
⸻
[Intro – soft, distant]
Yeah…
mm… (mm-mm)
Don’t know what it is with me… (no…)
I try though… I really do… (I do…)
⸻
[Verse 1]
You say you love me, I just stare (just stare…)
Try to feel it, it ain’t there (ain’t there…)
Heart cold but I still care (I care…)
That’s the part that ain’t fair (nah…)
I be smiling, I be there (yeah…)
But inside it’s like I’m bare (so empty…)
You give me love, I’m aware (I know…)
But I can’t return the share… (I can’t…)
⸻
[Pre-Hook]
It ain’t you, don’t take it personal (no, no…)
Something in me just don’t work no more (it don’t…)
I receive it, yeah I do (I do…)
But giving back? I got no clue… (no clue…)
⸻
[Hook]
I can’t feel love, personally (nah…)
Mentally it don’t hit me (it don’t…)
You can love me, I receive (I do…)
But I can’t give what you need… (I can’t…)
I try, I try, it don’t come out right (no…)
Say the words but they don’t feel right (feel right…)
You deserve more, I know that’s real (I know…)
But I can’t give what I don’t feel… (I don’t…)
⸻
[Verse 2]
I be wishing I was different (different…)
Wishing I could feel the distance (yeah…)
Between my heart and my mind (my mind…)
Something missing every time (every time…)
You be looking for a spark (spark…)
I be stuck here in the dark (so dark…)
Got emotions but they locked (locked up…)
Like my heart got a guard… (yeah…)
⸻
[Rap – soft but real]
Look—
I ain’t heartless, I just numb (just numb…)
Been through too much, now I’m done (I’m done…)
Feelings muted, stuck on one (on one…)
Every time I try, I run (I run…)
You want love, I want it too (I do…)
But it don’t move the way it do for you (nah…)
I be there but I ain’t there for real (for real…)
How I’m ‘posed to give what I don’t feel? (how?)
⸻
[Hook]
I can’t feel love, personally (no…)
Mentally it don’t hit me (it don’t…)
You can love me, I receive (I do…)
But I can’t give what you need… (I can’t…)
I try, I try, it don’t come out right (no…)
Say the words but they don’t feel right (feel right…)
You deserve more, I know that’s real (I know…)
But I can’t give what I don’t feel… (I don’t…)
⸻
[Outro – soft, fading]
I’m sorry… (I am…)
Wish I could love you the way you love me… (I wish…)
But something in me just… gone… (gone…)
mm… yeah… (yeah…)
