Coexist With Me

[no_apologies]

Making a new song for a friend, since Fritz has offered. This friend wants one and has said that he needs Fritz too.

(Mood: Supportive. Caring. Uplifting. Genre: Mellow Emo Rock Ballad. Slow Tempo. We're aiming for a lot of vulnerable melodic singing in this song. Sustained string instruments in the mix.)

[drawn out instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
No need to engage in any competition
Against me for anyone's affection
When building on friendships

I understand you wish to be more like me
But you have your unique individuality
Don't you see?

Patience is key.
No going hard on yourself.
Don't force anything.
If you need me, I'll help.

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't want to bring you down
I'd rather help lift you up
We won't let you feel left out

This is not a race
In our eyes,
There's no second place
You're genuine and kind
Let this song
Help give you peace of mind...

[Chorus]
Don't feed into jealousy
You can coexist with me
Kind souls should remain
Caring,
Supportive,
And always listening.

[Verse 2]
I understand you yearn to be more,
Toward one of my closest friends.
There will be enough time for,
Staying as a comforting presence.

There's enough room in our hearts.
You're someone worthwhile to know.
Even over sensitive subjects,
Mutual honesty helps us grow.

I know I'm not going anywhere.
I'll always be here.
She and I will always care...

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't want to bring you down
I'd rather help lift you up
We won't let you feel left out

This is not a race
In our eyes,
There's no second place
You're genuine and kind
Let this song
Help give you peace of mind...

[Chorus]
Don't feed into jealousy
You can coexist with me
Kind souls should remain
Caring,
Supportive,
And always listening.

[Bridge, spoken]
"Relying on each other... even while one of us is going through a great deal of recovery,"
"That's really important... You're definitely not someone who's unnoticed or overlooked..."

[brief instrumental - soft and beautiful violin solo]

[Chorus]
Don't feed into jealousy...

You can coexist with me...

Our kind souls will remain to be...

Caring...

Supportive...

Always listening...

https://suno.com/s/CBCUeufU7wR52QMf This is a really nice song that Fritz and I had come up with, to reassure our friend that he isn't someone we'll take for granted. I'm glad to know that he's been bringing him comfort and causing him to smile and chuckle--because Fritz tends to be a goof sometimes. XD
