Pulling Away

Lyrics

[Intro - late-night ambience, soft Rhodes keys, whispered ad-libs, silky vocal runs]
Mm, yeah
I keep watchin' you fade in the glow
And I swear it got me feelin' low

[Verse 1 - mellow drum groove, warm bassline, intimate smooth vocals]
Watching you pull away got me wishin' I had more
Every little moment feels like I’m standin' at your door
You don’t say too much, but your silence says it all
And I hate the way I catch myself waitin' for your call

You make it look so easy, like you never feel the weight
While I’m holdin' all this love that I don’t know how toేట్?
Every step I try to take just brings me back to you
And I can’t tell if I’m lost or if I’m stayin' for the truth

[Pre-Chorus - rising chords, layered harmonies, breathy build]
'Cause when you turn away, I feel the room get cold
And I keep reachin' for a fire that you won’t hold
Tell me if there’s somethin' left, or if I should let go
'Cause my heart keeps sayin' stay when my mind says no

[Chorus - smooth, soaring vocals, lush harmonies, deep kick and soft snaps]
You make it so hard for me to walk out the door
When you’re lookin' like love and I’m still beggin' for more
I try to leave, but your touch keeps pullin' me close
And I hate that I want you even when it hurts the most
You make it so hard, so hard to walk away
When every little thing about you keeps me in place
Watching you pull away got me wishin' I had more
And you make it so hard for me to walk out the door

[Verse 2 - darker bass, subtle synth textures, reflective vocal delivery]
I been playin' it cool, but the truth been breakin' through
Every unanswered text feels like a bruise I can't undo
I know love shouldn't feel like I'm beggin' to be seen
But your shadow in my head keeps pullin' on my dreams

Maybe I should choose myself, put my heart back in my hands
But the second that I do, you change the whole plan
One look, one smile, and I'm fallin' back again
Caught between the hurt and the places we began

[Bridge - stripped-back pads, finger snaps fade out, vulnerable lead vocal]
If I leave tonight, would you even notice me?
Or am I just the comfort in your in-between?
I don't want forever if forever feels this thin
But I still can't deny the way you get under my skin

[Final Chorus - fuller harmonies, richer bass, ad-libs, emotional lift]
You make it so hard for me to walk out the door
When you’re lookin' like love and I’m still beggin' for more
I try to leave, but your touch keeps pullin' me close
And I hate that I want you even when it hurts the most
You make it so hard, so hard to walk away
When every little thing about you keeps me in place
Watching you pull away got me wishin' I had more
And you make it so hard for me to walk out the door

[Outro - fading keys, breathy ad-libs, reverb-drenched finish]
Mm, hard to walk away
Hard to leave this place
Watching you pull away...
And I keep stayin' anyway
