All I had was You

Verse 1
Used to dream big under broken lights
Empty gym, lonely nights
Mama gone, friends switched sides
Every promise they made, they lied
Coaches doubted, they cut my name
Said I’d never make it in the game
Lost my scholarship, lost my pride
Only one stayed by my side

Pre-Chorus
When the world said “give it up”
You said, “Baby, you strong enough”
When my faith was runnin’ thin
You reminded me who I been

Chorus
I lost everything but you
When I had nothin’, you saw the truth
No lights, no crowd, no fame
You still loved me just the same
When my dream was hangin’ by a thread
You believed what nobody said
Now I’m standin’ here, dreams come true
And every win I owe to you

Verse 2
Had nights I couldn’t pay the rent
Dream felt like heaven, life felt bent
Tried to quit, I packed my bag
You held my hand and said, “Don’t crash”
Worked two jobs just to help me eat
Drove me to every practice meet
You saw greatness before I did
Saw the king behind the kid

Pre-Chorus
Every tear you wiped away
Every prayer you prayed for me to stay
When my back was on the wall
You never let me fall

Chorus
I lost everything but you
When I had nothin’, you saw the truth
No lights, no crowd, no fame
You still loved me just the same
When my dream was hangin’ by a thread
You believed what nobody said
Now I’m standin’ here, dreams come true
And every win I owe to you

Bridge (Emotional Peak)
They see the trophies, they see the shine
They don’t see the nights you saved my mind
If I’m the story they celebrate
You the reason I made it through the hate
If this world ever take it all again
Long as I got you, I’ll always win

Final Chorus (Bigger, Triumphant)
I lost everything but you
And that was everything I needed to
Your love carried me through the pain
Gave me strength when I couldn’t stand
Now we here, front row seats to fate
You and me, yeah we beat the weight
I achieved my dream, that part is true
But the greatest thing I got is you

Outro
Championship lights, ring on my hand
But you the real part of every plan
If they ask me how I made it through
I’ll say, “I had nothin’… but I had you.”
