Male Version – Modern Moody R&B
Verse 1
October night, crowded room
Didn’t know I’d find my truth
You were laughing in a picture
Didn’t know I stood that close to you
Same air, same moment
Different lives, different views
If someone told me back then
You’d be the woman I’d choose
I was right there behind you
Didn’t even know your name
God had already framed it
Before love had a flame
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Funny how destiny works
Before you even see it
⸻
Chorus
I was standing right behind her
But I didn’t know her heart
Inches from my whole future
Before we ever started
Crossed paths, never spoke
Still somehow it was true
She didn’t see me then
But I was already hers too
⸻
Verse 2
Valentine’s, I took a chance
Sent a message late at night
Didn’t know if she would answer
Didn’t know she’d change my life
She thought I wasn’t real
Almost let me fade away
But fate had better timing
It brought her back my way
Her name lit up my screen
Her friend said, “Wait… that’s her?”
Crazy how the smallest moments
Turn into forever
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2
From strangers in the same frame
To waking up beside her
⸻
Chorus
I was standing right behind her
But I didn’t know her heart
Inches from my whole future
Before we ever started
Now I wake up before the sunrise
Working hard for what we built
She’s my peace, my home, my reason
Every promise that I’ve kept
⸻
Bridge (low, emotional, stripped down)
October strangers
February fire
From a photo in the background
To the woman I admire
She didn’t see it coming
But heaven always knew
I was meant to stand beside her
Like I always do
⸻
Outro (soft confession)
I was behind her then…
Now I’m right here
Ten years later
Still choosing her
