Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left the door half open
When I was just a kid
I learned the sound of silence
Before I knew what love was
Sixteen and you were gone
Like you had something better
I kept your name in my throat
Like a stone I couldn't swallow
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried that weight for years
Let it burn through my hands
Turned all that hurt to steel
Just to make it to a man
And I swear I made myself
Out of the parts you missed
[Chorus]
You never saw me
Never saw me grow
You never saw the man
I became alone
I had that fire
I had that ache
Now I'm at peace
But it still breaks
You never saw me
Never saw me shine
(never saw me)
You missed my whole life
[Verse 2]
I used to punch the walls
Used to bite down anger
Every unanswered question
Kept me up for days
Now I can breathe it out
Let the old pain pass through
I don't need your apology
To know I made it through
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried that weight for years
Let it burn through my hands
Turned all that hurt to steel
Just to make it to a man
And I swear I made myself
Out of the parts you missed
[Chorus]
You never saw me
Never saw me grow
You never saw the man
I became alone
I had that fire
I had that ache
Now I'm at peace
But it still breaks
You never saw me
Never saw me shine
(never saw me)
You missed my whole life
[Bridge]
I don't hate you now
That's the honest truth
But there's a ghost in me
That still looks like you
I built my own name
Brick by brick by brick
And the hardest part is this
You never got to witness it
[Final Chorus]
You never saw me
Never saw me grow
You never saw the man
I became alone
I had that fire
I had that ache
Now I'm at peace
But it still breaks
You never saw me
Never saw me shine
(never saw me)
You missed my whole life
You missed my whole life
