I was real with you

Verse 1

I never would’ve left you

Not in silence, not in fear

I didn’t care about the numbers

I only cared you were here

You talked about the years ahead

Like love fades with time

I wasn’t scared of growing old

If your heart stayed near mine

Hook

Claudia, I would’ve married you

That’s not something I say light

Could’ve been twenty years older

I still would’ve stayed that night

Verse 2

You said maybe in thirty years

If we’re not side by side

I’d live on as a memory

Somewhere warm inside

But I wasn’t loving hypotheticals

Or planning my goodbye

I was standing in the moment

Looking you in the eye

Bridge (quiet truth)

I didn’t love you for the future

Or the comfort of the past

I loved you in the present

And I loved you like it’d last

Final Hook (pulled back, strong)

Claudia, I was real with you

No performance, no disguise

If I’m just a memory someday

At least it wasn’t built on lies

Outro (optional whisper)

I stayed honest… even when I couldn’t stay
