You Said Never

(Verse 1)

You drew a line in the concrete,

Swore that place would never see your feet,

Looked me dead inside the eyes,

Made me feel insane for reading signs.

Every late night, every cold reply,

Every little crack you tried to hide,

I kept swallowing the ache,

While you called my fear a big mistake.

And I hated how I doubted me,

Twisted up in your reality,

Trying to trust what didn’t feel true,

While losing pieces of myself to you.

(Pre-Chorus)

Now the silence sounds different,

Now the truth cuts clean,

Funny how the shadows show

Exactly what I’d seen.

(Chorus)

And there you were where you swore you’d never go,

Standing in the wreckage of the words you sold.

God, it hurt, but damn it gave me closure,

Every fear I carried finally had a pulse.

I don’t know if I should cry or feel vindicated,

‘Cause being right still leaves the heart devastated.

You proved me crazy for believing what I knew,

Then proved me right the second I found you.

(Verse 2)

I remember all the fights we had,

How you turned my questions into attacks,

Made me wear the guilt and blame,

Like honesty and love were both the same.

You said, “You need to learn to trust,”

While burying secrets underneath us,

And I kept begging my own mind

Not to follow what it recognised.

But intuition’s a quiet flame,

It whispers soft but stays the same,

And no matter how deep you hide the lie,

Truth survives.

(Pre-Chorus)

Now your words mean nothing,

Now the mask fell through,

And the part that hurts the most

Is I wanted to be wrong about you.

(Chorus)

And there you were where you swore you’d never go,

Standing in the wreckage of the words you sold.

God, it hurt, but damn it gave me closure,

Every fear I carried finally had a pulse.

I don’t know if I should cry or feel vindicated,

‘Cause being right still leaves the heart devastated.

You proved me crazy for believing what I knew,

Then proved me right the second I found you.

(Bridge)

There’s no victory in this pain,

No medal for surviving games,

‘Cause trust once shattered never sounds the same.

But maybe now I’ll trust my soul,

When every red flag starts to glow,

And never shrink myself to keep somebody close.

(Final Chorus)

Yeah, there you were where you swore you’d never go,

And suddenly the past was set in stone.

The doubt, the tears, the nights I couldn’t breathe,

Were never madness living inside me.

So here’s the truth you never wanted me to see—

I wasn’t insecure, you were hiding things from me.

And though it broke my heart in ways you’ll never know,

At least I know to trust myself now when I know.
