🎙️ [Verse 1 – Deep Slow Rap]
You hit me up at 2am,
Same story, different guy again.
You say, “Can we talk? I just need air,”
I say “Sure,” like I’m always there.
I play it cool, I play the friend,
I play the fool again and again.
You want a spark, I light the flame,
But somehow I don’t get the name.

👻 [Pre-Chorus – Ghostly Female Vocal, Final Version]
You run to me when your world breaks down,
But never choose me when no one’s around.
You know I’m there, but not who you see,
I fade when you find who you want me to be.

✨ [Chorus – Sung by Male + Ghost Female Harmonies]
🎙️ Male Vocal (Sung):
I’m not the dream, just the standby call,
You catch me every time you fall.
I’m the laugh when you don’t wanna cry,
The backup plan you never try.
I’m the fix when the damage is done—
Almost the right one...
(pause)
...but never the one.

🎙️ [Verse 2 – Deep Slow Rap – Final Version]
You say I know you like no one else,
But you keep choosing someone else.
I bring the peace, you chase the high,
I sit in silence, you pass me by.
We share a song, but not the part
Where I get to keep your heart.
I'm just the line you always skip,
The call you make but never kiss.

👻 [Pre-Chorus – Repeat]
You run to me when your world breaks down,
But never choose me when no one’s around.
You know I’m there, but not who you see,
I fade when you find who you want me to be.

✨ [Chorus – Repeat with More Feeling]
🎙️ Male Vocal (Sung):
I’m not the dream, just the standby call,
You catch me every time you fall.
I’m the laugh when you don’t wanna cry,
The backup plan you never try.
I’m the fix when the damage is done—
Almost the right one...
(pause)
...but never the one.

🌘 [Bridge – Spoken Word or Dream Rap]
Maybe one day you’ll turn around,
And find I’m gone, not hangin’ out.
I gave too much, stayed way too long,
Now you’re the ghost inside my song...
---
🌙 [Final Chorus – Soft Male Vocal → Fading Echo]
🎙️ Male Vocal (Sung):
I’m not the spark that makes you stay,
Just the light that fades away.
I’m the voice you call when you break down,
But never the one you keep around.
I’m the almost, I’m the could’ve been—
But never the start, never the end.
Almost the right one...
(soft pause)
...but never the one.
👻 Female Background (Final Harmony Swell):
Echoed “never the one…” fading under soft hums

🔚 [Outro – Whisper or Layered Fade]
Never the one...
Just almost.
Always...
Almost.
