Never unconditional

[Top Prompt] [Acoustic grunge love ballad, raw 90s unplugged intimacy] [Emotionally cracked male vocal: close-mic fragile confession, restrained pain] [Acoustic guitar foundation: slow minor-key strumming, imperfect timing] [Chorus lift: subtle distorted electric swell, not overpowering] [Bass: minimal, warm, heavy heartbeat under chords] [Drums: sparse, soft kick/snare brushes, building only at emotional peaks] [Production: unpolished, room-like, vulnerable realism] [Mood: not being enough, love feeling conditional, abandonment anxiety] [Dynamic arc: quiet verses → aching chorus → unresolved outro] [Avoid: glossy pop ballad sheen, overproduction] [Lyrics] [Intro] [Acoustic guitar alone, slow and hesitant] [Lead vocal almost whispered] I always wait For the catch [Verse 1] You held me like I might break Like glass you didn’t wanna claim And I smiled Like that was safe Like love is supposed to feel ashamed I learned your warmth Has a cost I learned your hands Don’t stay for long [Pre-Chorus] [Voice cracks slightly, guitar softens] I keep chasing proof That I deserve you [Chorus] [Gentle lift, faint electric guitar swelling behind] Love was never unconditional Not for me Not for us I’m always almost worth it Always almost enough You don’t say goodbye You just let go Slowly Slowly [Verse 2] I watched you count my flaws in silence Like change inside your pocket And every kiss Felt borrowed Like something I could never lock in I tried to be easy Tried to be light But you can’t love someone You don’t hold at night [Pre-Chorus] [Drums enter softly, heartbeat kick] I’m scared the truth is I’m disposable [Chorus] [Repeat stronger, voice breaking] Love was never unconditional Not for me Not for us I’m always almost worth it Always almost enough You don’t say goodbye You just let go Slowly Slowly [Bridge] [Music strips back: acoustic only, voice intimate] If love is real Why does it feel Like a contract I can’t fulfill (Stay) (Please) [Final Chorus] [Fullest moment: acoustic strum wider, electric noise faint in background] Love was never unconditional I knew it I knew it I was a temporary feeling You were a permanent doubt And I still want you Even now Even now [Outro] [Everything fades to acoustic and breath] [Lead vocal barely audible] I’m never enough I’m never enough
