Confused

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Smooth Rhodes keys, intimate falsetto vocals, subtle 808 pulse]
Late nights, staring at the ceiling fan spin
Heart's pulling one way, mind says it's a sin
Your touch lingers like smoke in the air
I wanna be good, but damn, it's not fair

[Pre-Chorus - Building synth swells, layered harmonies rising, breathy ad-libs]
Every step I take feels like a wrong turn
Lost in the gray, where do I learn?
Tell me the truth, is it black or white?
I'm drowning in us, can't see the light

[Chorus - Full R&B groove, warm electric piano chords, soulful lead with gospel backing vocals]
Baby, I just wanna do right by you
But these feelings got me twisted, what should I do?
Right or wrong, it's all confused in my soul
Wanna love you proper, make you whole
Oh, I wanna do right... do right by you

[Verse 2 - Muted trap hi-hats creeping in, velvet baritone verses, finger snaps for rhythm]
Echoes of your voice in my replayed dreams
Temptation whispers, tearing at the seams
I see the pain if I stay, the hurt if I go
Caught in the middle, don't wanna let go

[Pre-Chorus - Intensifying bassline, vocal runs ascending, echoing delays]
Every choice feels heavy like chains on my chest
Searching for answers, putting love to the test
Is it fire or ice? Heaven or hell?
I'm begging for clarity, ring that bell

[Chorus - Bigger pocket groove, shimmering synth pads, passionate ad-libs stacking]
Baby, I just wanna do right by you
But these feelings got me twisted, what should I do?
Right or wrong, it's all confused in my soul
Wanna love you proper, make you whole
Oh, I wanna do right... do right by you

[Bridge - Stripped to piano and soft strings, raw vulnerable whispers building to a cry]
If I walk away, will it heal the wound?
Or pull me back under this stormy mood?
God, give me a sign, show me the way
I swear I'll be better, starting today...

[Outro - Fading Rhodes echoes, reverb-drenched falsetto trails, slowing heartbeat pulse]
Wanna do right by you... right by you
Confused no more, I'll find my way through
Do right... by you
