None of Them Were You
Intro (Spoken / Half-Sung)
Too many faces, too many nights,
Too many wrongs tryin’ to feel right.
I searched the world, but the truth stayed true —
Every road I walked, none of them were you.
Chorus (8 Bars)
I tried to heal the wounds, but the cracks always grew,
Every heart I held close, still felt see-through.
I gave ’em all my love, but the truth bled through,
No matter what I did, none of them were you.
I kept chasin’ reflections, but the pain just renewed,
Built castles outta sand, watched the tide cut through.
I gave the world my soul, but it all rang untrue,
‘Cause at the end of it all — none of them were you.
Verse 1 (16 Bars – The Wrong Loves)
I poured my time in illusions, mistook comfort for fire,
Shared a bed with strangers but they never reached higher.
Their lips could never echo what my spirit once knew,
They filled my nights with bodies, but none of them were you.
I kept walkin’ through the ashes of a love I couldn’t fake,
Played house with empty echoes till the silence would break.
Tried to drown the memory, but it cut my soul in two,
Every kiss became a mirror, remindin’ me of you.
I wore smiles like armor, but my chest stayed scarred,
Gave away my tenderness but kept my heart barred.
The truth sat in my stomach, no disguise could subdue,
Walking thru life with the what if’s i didnt do what i did to make me lose you,
I carried around your school picture for years my crew tried to wipe the tears and cheer up my random bad moods,
And it was my fault its my punishment to go thru
My whole love life felt like hell ‘cause none of them were you.
Chorus (Repeat 8 Bars)
I tried to heal the wounds, but the cracks always grew,
Every heart I held close, still felt see-through.
I gave ’em all my love, but the truth bled through,
No matter what I did, none of them were you.
I kept chasin’ reflections, but the pain just renewed,
Built castles outta sand, watched the tide cut through.
I gave the world my soul, but it all rang untrue,
‘Cause at the end of it all — none of them were you.
Verse 2 (16 Bars – The Realization)
I traced it back to Bonanza where we carved our first flame,
Fifteen years old, but the memory never changed.
First touch, first kiss, first dream that came true,
And no matter where I wandered, I was haunted by you.
I saw your ghost in the distance, in the smile of thelost,
Tried to buy a little peace, but I can’t afford the cost.
Every detour, every heartbreak, made the vision more true,
I wasn’t cursed by bad luck, I was just missin’ you.
Even when I saw you later, twenty years on rewind,
The love still burned steady in the back of my mind.
I could read it in your eyes, in the silence you drew,
You still carried me inside, the same way I carry you.
I jumped into your arms and we cried for a bit
your friends started crying too anbd knew this was it, the universe brought you back to me, dreams can come true and im sorry i let my ex keep me from you
If you can forgive me please, cuz none of them were you.
Chorus (Repeat 8 Bars)
I tried to heal the wounds, but the cracks always grew,
Every heart I held close, still felt see-through.
I gave ’em all my love, but the truth bled through,
No matter what I did, none of them were you.
I kept chasin’ reflections, but the pain just renewed,
Built castles outta sand, watched the tide cut through.
I gave the world my soul, but it all rang untrue,
‘Cause at the end of it all — none of them were you.
Verse 3 (16 Bars – The Hope / Acceptance)
So if fate gives us a moment, I’ll let the silence speak,
No rush, no pressure, just my heart on my sleeve.
Whether doors open wide or they lock against view,
I’ll still breathe easier knowin’ I reached out to you.
‘Cause the scars that I carry, they don’t weigh me with shame,
They remind me of the standard, the first love’s flame.
And if life don’t reconnect us, I’ll still honor what’s true,
That I measured every heartbeat against the shape of you.
But if we rise from the silence,
