Verse 1
We built a world without a single touch,
Just words that somehow meant so much.
A thousand roads inside my mind,
But none were ever yours and mine.
I packed my hopes into August skies,
Believed I’d finally meet your eyes.
Then one small message changed it all…
A quiet ending to the fall.
Pre-Chorus
Funny how forever disappears
In just a couple honest words.
No screaming, no goodbye in flames…
Just someone else who took my place.
Chorus
So the theoretical stays a dream,
A photograph of what could’ve been.
We almost wrote our favorite song,
But life decided we were wrong.
I reached for something never real,
Still somehow learned how heartbreak feels.
You walked away before hello…
Now “maybe” is the hardest word I know.
Verse 2
I won’t pretend it doesn’t sting,
Or say I never felt a thing.
You were a chapter left unread,
A thousand pages in my head.
I hope she gets the side of you
That I imagined shining through.
And if she’s home where you belong…
I’ll learn that not all dreams are wrong.
Bridge
Some stories never leave the shore,
Some hearts knock on unopened doors.
You don’t have to be the villain here…
It still hurts that you disappeared.
Maybe in another life we’d try,
Maybe we’d have had our July.
But this one chose another way…
So I’ll let the sunrise take your name.
Final Chorus
The theoretical fades tonight,
Like stars surrendering to light.
I’ll keep the lesson, lose the pain,
And dance alone out in the rain.
You were never really mine to lose,
Yet somehow I still mourned for two.
Goodbye to all the “what if” skies…
Some dreams survive.
Some dreams say goodbye.
Outro
I’ll stop waiting for August now…
And start believing
There’s another story waiting somehow.
