male vocals
slow
r&b
brushed drums
warm electric piano
Slow R&B with a laid-back swung groove
and deep sub bass holding the pocket; verse stays sparse with close-mic male vocals and soft finger snaps
pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and filtered pads
chorus lands on smooth chord lifts with doubled hook lines. Add reverse cymbal swells into each section
tiny guitar licks between phrases
and a short tape-stop before the bridge. Intimate
velvet-dark mix with glossy top end and heavy low-end warmth.

歌詞
[Verse 1]
You came through late
With that same red dress
Actin' like a sin
I could not forget
You kept it light
I kept it real
I saw that hurt
You tried to conceal
I said, "Stay awhile"
You laughed and took my hand
I knew your type
Still I played the man
[Pre-Chorus]
I was tryna build
Where you only stayed
Talkin' 'bout forever
Like it might be made
But you kept your keys
And I kept my pride
I started fallin'
Way before you lied
[Chorus]
Could've been my wife
Could've been my wife (my wife)
I was too far gone
Tryna change your life
Could've been my wife
Could've been my wife (my wife)
You never said stay
Still I held you tight
[Verse 2]
You sent that text
"Come by tonight"
I read too much
In that little light
Your laugh hit hard
Your touch hit worse
I made you a prayer
Then I made it hurt
I saw your bags
By the front door line
You left me a maybe
I called it mine
[Pre-Chorus]
I was tryna build
Where you only stayed
Talkin' 'bout forever
Like it might be made
But you kept your keys
And I kept my pride
I started fallin'
Way before you lied
[Chorus]
Could've been my wife
Could've been my wife (my wife)
I was too far gone
Tryna change your life
Could've been my wife
Could've been my wife (my wife)
You never said stay
Still I held you tight
[Bridge]
Now I see it clear
You were never mine
Just a pretty storm
Passing through my mind
I can love you still
From the other side
But I won't confuse
That spark for a life
[Chorus]
Could've been my wife
Could've been my wife (my wife)
I was too far gone
Tryna change your life
Could've been my wife
Could've been my wife (my wife)
You never said stay
Still I held you tight
You came through late
With that same red dress
Actin' like a sin
I could not forget
You kept it light
I kept it real
I saw that hurt
You tried to conceal
I said, "Stay awhile"
You laughed and took my hand
I knew your type
Still I played the man
[Pre-Chorus]
I was tryna build
Where you only stayed
Talkin' 'bout forever
Like it might be made
But you kept your keys
And I kept my pride
I started fallin'
Way before you lied
[Chorus]
Could've been my wife
Could've been my wife (my wife)
I was too far gone
Tryna change your life
Could've been my wife
Could've been my wife (my wife)
You never said stay
Still I held you tight
[Verse 2]
You sent that text
