🎵 The Guide
[Verse 1]
You came to me with tears in your eyes
I was your shelter beneath stormy skies
I made you laugh, pieced you back again
And in my heart, love bloomed without end
But why is it that once you're whole
You leave me behind, no longer hold
You’ve found someone new, a different light
And I’m left alone in the silence of night
[Chorus]
Turns out I’m just a guide along your way
To a love that was never meant to stay
Always the start, but never the end
I’m just the path, not the place you defend
You love me only when your world’s torn apart
But once you’re smiling, I’m not in your heart
I light the road for your wandering soul
But she gets the future I once tried to hold
[Verse 2]
Every laugh we shared held a silent fear
Every hug whispered goodbye in my ear
I lost count of how many times
You used me to cross into brighter skies
You now look at her the way you looked at me
Back when I thought it was destiny
Is this all I am in everyone’s tale—
The bridge they cross, then quickly curtail?
[Chorus]
Turns out I’m just a guide along your way
To a love that was never meant to stay
Always the start, but never the end
I’m just the path, not the place you defend
You love me only when your world’s torn apart
But once you’re smiling, I’m not in your heart
I light the road for your wandering soul
But she gets the future I once tried to hold
[Bridge]
And while you're smiling, holding hands with him
I'm drifting away in shadows dim
Smiling too, though my heart is sore
That's the role of the guide — nothing more
[Final Chorus]
Yes, I’m just a guide along your way
To someone else at the end of your day
Not your last page, just your middle line
The one who heals — then gets left behind
I’m the one who helps you find your spark
Then disappears when you’ve found your mark
I lit the dark, I helped you believe
But in the end... it’s me you leave
[Outro]
I’m the guide, never the home
To the love I helped you own
I held your heart just for a time
So you could give it... where it truly shines
