Mid-tempo dark Motown-inspired R&B at 94 BPM in a minor key, confident male vocal with a smooth but emotionally detached delivery, slightly gritty tone with subtle rasp; punchy live-style drums with a tight snare, warm deep kick, light tambourine on the off-beats, and crisp hi-hats driving the groove; a thick walking electric bassline that sits in the pocket and leads the rhythm; moody Rhodes or Wurlitzer chords using minor-7 voicings, sparse muted guitar stabs for texture, and subtle vintage horn accents that hit in the chorus; verses groove with minimal instrumentation and intimate vocals, pre-chorus builds tension with stripped drums and rising harmonies, chorus widens with layered background vocals and heavier drum impact; optional light tape saturation and analog warmth for vintage soul feel; overall mood is dark confident toxic masculinity with classic Motown bounce and modern R&B edge.

Lyrics
I talk like I don’t care
Like feelings make me weak
You’re standing there wide open
I give you nothing back to keep
I disappear for hours
Then act like you’re insane
Turn every simple question
Into you taking the blame
You look at me like I’m worth it
Like I’m something rare
But I know what’s underneath this
And it ain’t fair
Loving me will wear you down
I don’t come gentle
I don’t come safe
I get bored when it’s too steady
Start a fire in a calm
You hand me all your softness
I hand you all my storms
You try to read my silence
Like there’s a heart inside
But I’ve been cold so long
I don’t even try to hide
I say I don’t believe in love
Like that makes me strong
But truth is I just ruin
Anything that lasts too long
Loving me will wear you down
I don’t come patient
I don’t come clean
You keep calling me your future
I barely make it through today
You think I’m fighting for us
I’m just wired this way
One day you’re gonna wake up
See me clear in the light
And I won’t have a reason
To ask you to stay the night
I’ll let you walk in silence
Like that’s what I meant to do
But deep down I’ll know
You finally saw the truth
Loving me will wear you down
I don’t come steady
I don’t come safe
I’m not the kind you build with
I’m the kind you survive
