[Intro – gentle guitar strum, faint lo-fi drum tap] Silence hangs between us now Your walls are up, won’t let me out [Verse 1 – steady 808, subtle bassline] You side-eye every coffee I buy Say I’m just biding time till I ask you why You won’t let me get close, keep your guard so high Think I’m like the last ones who left you dry You mumble apologies when I stay late Fix your flat tire, help you move your crate Said I’ve proved I don’t want nothing back But your brain still traps you in that track [Chorus – layered background vocals, warm piano swell] You’re being too guarded, can’t see what’s real I ain’t here for a date, just to help you heal Every kind word, every hand I lend Ain’t no hidden agenda, just being a friend You’re being too guarded, shutting me out I don’t want your heart, just to let you doubt less All I ever wanted was to be someone you trust But your past’s got you stuck in the dust [Verse 2 – muted guitar, slightly faster flow] That night at the show, you had your fans around I pulled you aside, asked for a quiet sound Said I needed to hug you, not for a crowd ‘Cause you sat with me when my dad was down You tensed up, pulled away, said I crossed a line I just wanted to thank you, make you know you’re mine Not like that – just a friend who owed you big But you ran off, left me feeling sick [Chorus – intensified vocals, added string accents] You’re being too guarded, can’t see what’s real I ain’t here for a date, just to help you heal Every kind word, every hand I lend Ain’t no hidden agenda, just being a friend You’re being too guarded, shutting me out I don’t want your heart, just to let you doubt less All I ever wanted was to be someone you trust But your past’s got you stuck in the dust [Bridge – stripped-back guitar, intimate vocal delivery] You texted once, said you were sorry Said you know I ain’t like the others, worry But you still can’t let your walls come down Now your texts go unanswered, you’re nowhere to be found [Solo – soft electric guitar solo, slow and melancholic] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full production, soaring background harmonies] You’re being too guarded, can’t see what’s real I ain’t here for a date, just to help you heal Every kind word, every hand I lend Ain’t no hidden agenda, just being a friend You’re being too guarded, shutting me out I don’t want your heart, just to let you doubt less All I ever wanted was to be someone you trust But your past’s got you stuck in the dust [Outro – fading guitar, quiet drum tap] Silence still hangs between us now Hope one day your walls will bow
