Everything but real

 

1

We are the song left without a voice
the empty page between our hearts
the story hanging from a maybe
and time refusing where to start

We remained on the edge of words
inside silences never undone
with our hands full of afterthoughts
and a soul living inside “what once…”

🌙 Pre-Chorus

I do not even try to forget
because it never became real yet
because we never learned to be
you will always be a maybe

🎭 Chorus

We were everything… but never real
almost fire refusing to wake

And though it once felt beautifully true
now it only aches to think of you

We were all and nothing in the end
an almost that refused to end
a ghost of what could be

Verse 2

I am the light surrendered to dusk
a season that forgot return
the name dissolved beneath the years
and the flame that would not burn out

You are rain without a way to fall
an autumn unable to return
the shadow standing in the room
where what became of us still rests

like dry leaves
beneath the weight of memory

🌫️ Pre-Chorus 2

I do not try to erase you
nor can I return to you
like the echo of what we never were
it lived in neither me nor you

🎭 Chorus

We were everything… but never real
almost fire refusing to wake

And though it once felt beautifully true
now it only aches to think of you

We were all and nothing in the end
an almost that refused to end
a ghost of what could be

🌑 Bridge

I can still hear the heart
breaking like dry leaves
beneath the weight of memory

then hiding inside a drawer
someone left half-open
only to forget

🎇 Final Chorus

We were everything… but never real
almost fire refusing to wake

And though it once felt beautifully true
now it only aches to think of you

We were all and nothing in the end
an almost that refused to end
a ghost of what could be

Outro

an us…
without you…
without me…
