VERSE 1:
Taylor Swift:
I gave you all of me, every piece I could find
But somewhere in the silence, I started losing my mind
Am I the villain in your story, or just the girl you left behind?
Maybe my love, maybe my love wasn't enough

CHORUS:
Beyoncé:
Maybe my love wasn't enough for you
Maybe my heart couldn't break through
We built a castle out of dreams, but the walls came crashing down
Maybe my love, maybe my love wasn't enough

VERSE 2:
Beyoncé:
I saw the world in your eyes, painted stars in the sky
But shadows crept between us, and we watched the colors die
Was it the weight of forever, or just a moment passing by?
Maybe my love, maybe my love wasn't enough

CHORUS:
Taylor Swift & Beyoncé:
Maybe my love wasn't enough for you
Maybe my heart couldn't break through
We built a castle out of dreams, but the walls came crashing down
Maybe my love, maybe my love wasn't enough

BRIDGE:
Taylor Swift:
I'll never know the reasons, the whispers in the night
Beyoncé:
But I'll hold on to the memories, even if they fade with time

CHORUS:
Taylor Swift & Beyoncé:
Maybe my love wasn't enough for you
Maybe my heart couldn't break through
We built a castle out of dreams, but the walls came crashing down
Maybe my love, maybe my love wasn't enough

OUTRO:
Taylor Swift:
Maybe my love, oh maybe my love
Beyoncé:
Maybe my love, my love wasn't enough
Taylor Swift:
Maybe my love, my love

Oh, my love wasn't enough

Feel:

  • Soft and steady to match the emotional tone.
  • Lightly played, focusing more on the hi-hats and snare to keep a subtle but consistent rhythm.
  • Increase intensity slightly during the chorus to elevate the emotional cry.

Perfect this beat with some light percussion elements, like tambourines in the chorus, to keep the texture rich and engaging.

Alternative Drum Elements:

  • Ride Cymbal: The chorus could have a ride cymbal pattern played on the bell to lift the dynamic but keep the soft melancholy feeling.
  • Claps: Subtle claps in the bridge could enhance the communal feeling Taylor and Beyoncé are aiming for.

This tempo and beat should complement the heartfelt lyrics and allow Taylor’s and Beyoncé’s voices to shine through with emotional prowess.
