Half of Everything
Intimate acoustic-pop duet with male and female vocals trading lines. Fingerpicked guitar and warm piano under soft pads. Verses stay close and conversational; choruses rise with layered harmonies and a subtle lift in drums and bass. Bridge strips to almost solo vocal, then final chorus blooms with stacked ad-libs and a gentle, hopeful swell., emotional

Lyrics
Verse 1
(F) You take the side with the window
You say you like watching rain
(M) I take the side with the lamp light
Scrolling through yesterday
(F) We used to race to the middle
To see who could hold who first
(M) Now there’s a mile in this mattress
And neither of us says it hurts
Chorus
(F) I don’t know when we started
Leaving half our hearts at the door
(M) I don’t know how we got here
Sleeping back to back like before
(F) We’re giving half of everything
(M) And wondering why it feels so thin
(F+M) If this is all that we can bring
We’ll lose the love we’re living in
Verse 2
(M) I wash the dishes in silence
You hum a song in your head
(F) We talk about paying the power bill
Not how we’re aching instead
(M) I keep my fears in my pockets
Crumbled up with old receipts
(F) I wear my smile like a secret
Afraid it might fall at your feet
Chorus
(F) I don’t know when we started
Leaving half our hearts at the door
(M) I don’t know how we got here
Counting all the cracks in the floor
(F) We’re giving half of everything
(M) And wondering why it feels so thin
(F+M) If this is all that we can bring
We’ll lose the love we’re living in
Bridge
(F) What if I said I’m lonely
Right here with your hand in mine
(M) What if I said I’m sorry
For every “I’m fine
I’m fine”
(F) What if we meet in the middle
Like we did the very first time
(M) Bring every broken piece we hid
(F+M) And call it yours and call it mine
Chorus
(F) I don’t want half a heartbeat
Half a home and half a name
(M) I don’t want half forgiveness
Half the fire
Half the flame
(F) I’ll give you all of everything
(M) If you’ll let me all the way in
(F+M) If we can love with everything
Maybe we can start again
Outro
(F) You take the side with the window
(M) I pull you into the light
(F+M) No more miles in the mattress
Let’s learn to choose us tonight (oh)
