[Intro – warm synth swell, gospel breath ad-libs, subtle amapiano pulse under new jack swing kick]
Mmm
I know better
(but here I go)

[Verse 1 – sassy guarded pocket, behind-the-beat swing, trap soul rumble, snapping hi-hats, youthful snotty delivery]
I said I was done, swore I was done
Packed up my heart, started to run
You came with your whole thing
Had me questioning everything
Body keeps lying, past keeps crying
Walls up high, softness on the shelf

[Pre-Chorus – gospel tension build, melismatic run, alternative R&B crack, neo-soul swells]
I hate that you got in here
I hate that I feel it
Standing on this ledge alone
Boy, you better—

[Chorus – spinto soprano power, Whitney call-response ad-libs, gospel fire over snapping groove, vulnerable explosion]
Talk me down (talk me down, baby)
From everything I swore I'd never be
Talk me down (talk me down, ohhh)
Got me wide open, did it so easy
You break me, I can't fight it
Every time I try to leave, you're right there
Baby, talk me down, 'cause I'm already
I'm already yours tonight

[Verse 2 – exposed, raw rasp bleeding, amapiano groove deepens, lush synth bass, UK R&B shimmer]
Cost me everything to feel this again
Last love cost my best friend
Still texting back, still letting you in
Losing sleep, losing skin
Girl who said never, changing my game
This ain't smart, but you feel like my heart

[Pre-Chorus – deeper crack, gospel runs rise, cinematic strings, raw need showing]
I hate that you get to me
I hate that I need it
Ledge with you now
Maybe I want to—

[Chorus – bigger runs, ad-libs stacking, full cinematic swell, defiant-to-surrender power]
Talk me down (talk me down, baby)
From everything I swore I'd never be
Talk me down (talk me down, ohhh)
Got me wide open, did it so easy
You break me, I can't fight it
Every time I try to leave, you're right there
Baby, talk me down, 'cause I'm already
I'm already yours tonight

[Bridge – stripped bass + gospel, spinto soprano unleashing, raw trembling release, neo-soul peak, strings drop in]
Running so long
Tired of running from what feels right
You already got me
Not fighting anymore tonight
Hold on
I'm finally falling
Falling, falling—
Down to you

[Final Chorus – maximal gospel explosion, explosive runs, maximum power, heavy call-response, full 2026 femme release]
Talk me down (oh yeah, baby)
From everything I swore I'd never be
Talk me down (come on now)
Got me wide open, did it so easy
You break me, I can't fight it
You're right there
Baby, talk me down, 'cause I'm already
I'm already yours tonight

[Outro – melismatic runs fade, gospel echoes, analog warmth decay, breathy whispers]
Already yours tonight
(mine tonight…)
You talked me down
Yeah… talk me down
