Make Someone Choose To Stay

[Verse]
My brother cried, his soap was gone,
He held that bar like it was the one.
If something cheap can break him apart,
Why can’t I find a steady heart?

[Hook/Chorus]
Maybe I should be a soap (be a soap),
Soft and near, a gentle hope.
He wept all night for a bar that cheap…
But no one’s ever cried for me that deep.

[Outro/Loop]
Soap was gone, he lost his mind,
I just wish I could find that kind.
Teach me, soap, what’s your way,
How to make someone choose to stay (Choose to stay)

Teach me, soap, what’s your way,
How to make someone choose to stay (Choose to stay)

[Scene Verse]
She scrolled her phone, one final text,
Her ex just wrote, “Goodbye.” What’s next?
Her tears rolled down, her chest was sore,
She grabbed the costume by the door.

[Bridge]
Wrapped in bubbles, wrapped in shame,
Maybe soap can change her name.
If it brings a love that’s true,
She will foam like others (other soap) do.

[Chorus 2]
“Maybe I should be a soap (be a soap),
Clean their hands and help them cope.
If a bar can break a man,
Maybe soap can hold my hand.”

[Verse – after dressing up]
She walks outside, the moonlight dim,
Her costume squeaks, the night feels grim.
The neighbors point, they stop, they stare,
But Annie cries, “At least they care.”

[Breakdown]
“Scrub me once, scrub me twice,
Maybe love will smell nice.
I can bubble, I can shine,
Won’t you wash and call me mine?”

[Outro]
“Maybe I should be a soap (be a soap),
Soft and near, a gentle hope.
He wept all night for something cheap…
But no one’s cried for me that deep.”

(echo fading)
“Soap was gone… he lost his mind…
I just wish… I could find that kind…”
