0:00 – 0:10 | INTRO (Tag + mood set)
(soft rain + distant synth)
(whisper):
“I never said your name…”
0:10 – 0:35 | VERSE 1 (short, direct setup)
Neon lights through a cracked windshield glow
I’m driving through stories I don’t control
You called me out like I built the lie
But I swear I was nowhere nearby
They took my silence and gave it a name
Turned empty air into all my blame
Now every word I didn’t even say
Comes back around in a different way
(light ad-lib): “yeah… they don’t know…”
0:35 – 0:55 | PRE-CHORUS (build to hook)
I don’t fight what you feel inside
But I can’t live in a borrowed lie
If I’m the storm, I’d know my name
But I’m just caught in someone else’s flame
0:55 – 1:25 | CHORUS (MAIN HOOK)
They put my name in neon fire, called it fate
But I never spoke what they say I gave away
Now you look at me like I became the shame
But I never said your name, I never said your name
(ad-libs under chorus):
“never said it…”
“you know I didn’t…”
“yeah…”
Turn my silence into something I can’t escape
City lights make every truth rearrange
If love turned to rumor in the pouring rain
Just know I never said your name
1:25 – 1:45 | VERSE 2 (compressed emotional punch)
Now I’m stuck in a version I didn’t create
Every whisper turns heavier than weight
And I know you’re hurt, I hear it in your tone
Like I built this storm on my own
But I never played that role, never ran that line
Never sold your name just to save my time
Still I’m standing here in what they designed
While you try to read between every line
(ad-lib): “why it always me…”
1:45 – 2:20 | FINAL CHORUS (bigger, layered, radio peak)
They put my name in neon fire, called it fate
But I never spoke what they say I gave away
Now you look at me like I became the shame
But I never said your name, I never said your name
(stacked ad-libs, emotional lift):
“never said it…”
“I swear…”
“no…”
Turn my silence into something I can’t escape
City lights make every truth rearrange
If love turned to rumor in the pouring rain
Just know I never said your name
2:20 – 2:30 | OUTRO (fade tag for identity)
(beat strips, rain returns)
(whisper):
“I didn’t fall from the sky…
they just learned how to name it…”
