You Should Be With Me
Bright alt-country acoustic guitars set the foundation, accompanied by a tight rhythm section and layers of pedal steel weaving through the mix. Southern male vocals lead the verses with grit, joined by vocal harmonies in the Americana-infused chorus. Electric guitar riffs inject southern rock energy, driving each hook, while relaxed organ and subtle banjo textures add depth throughout. The bridge features a dynamic instrumental break, showcasing twangy guitar fills before returning to a soaring, rootsy finale.

Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
I've seen the way he never holds your hand,
And that is somethin' I don't understand.
If you were mine, I'd find a way to show
That you're my girl, no matter where we go.
I've never once seen him kiss you goodbye.
He rarely holds you close, I don't know why.
I'd sell off all I own to make you smile,
Even if it's for just a little while.
Chorus
He lets the moment pass when you lean in,
And I can see your patience wearin' thin.
You reach for him, but he’s already gone.
He's just selfish, that's clear to everyone.
I see the look you get when you’re ignored,
As if you're wonderin' what he's waitin’ for.
I know that you feel safe, but soon you'll see,
If you want love, then you should be with me.
Verse 2
I notice how he never reads your face,
And misses every signal, every trace.
You dress up nice, but he don’t seem to care,
And never tries to take you anywhere.
You sit there quietly and wonder why
He never seems to notice when you cry.
You ain't been happy, but you still pretend,
'Cause you can't bear to see this needs to end.
Chorus
He lets the moment pass when you lean in,
And I can see your patience wearin' thin.
You reach for him, but he’s already gone.
He's just selfish, that's clear to everyone.
I see the look you get when you’re ignored,
As if you're wonderin' what he's waitin’ for.
I know that you feel safe, but soon you'll see,
If you want love, then you should be with me.
Bridge
Girl, I won’t rush you, 'cause I know in time,
That you will come to see you should be mine.
You'll recognize that when it comes to love,
Just goin' through the motions ain't enough.
Chorus
He lets the moment pass when you lean in,
And I can see your patience wearin' thin.
You reach for him, but he’s already gone.
He's just selfish, that's clear to everyone.
I see the look you get when you’re ignored,
As if you're wonderin' what he's waitin’ for.
I know that you feel safe, but soon you'll see,
If you want love, then you should be with me.
