Verse 1]
Matched with you on a late-night scroll, didn’t think it’d mean a thing,
Just another conversation, just another maybe-fling,
But you had something different in the way you spoke your mind,
Had me counting down the days just to see you in real time.
Took a ferry out to Governors Island, just to watch the sky turn gold,
Sun was sinking low and slow, painting stories we hadn’t told,
You were laughing in that light, wind dancing through your hair,
But your smile hit me harder than the sunset glowing there.
Side by side, we walked like time was ours to lose,
Didn’t wanna hit the moment where we’d have to choose,
Then that Uber pulled up, and you kissed me goodbye…
And I stood there wishing I had one more minute of your time.
⸻
[Chorus]
And I said I’d be your man, be your shelter in the rain,
Be the one who never walks away when it gets hard again,
But I was just a boy dressed up in promises and pride…
And I let forever slip right through my hands that night.
Now I’m learning how to stand in the silence that you left,
Trying to forgive the man I was when I had you at my best,
Yeah I lost the only love I was supposed to understand…
When I couldn’t be the man.
Verse 2
– Trap R&B style]
Yeah… I was talking like I’m him, but I wasn’t that guy,
Said I’d ride for you forever, I was living in a lie,
Got close, then I switched, started moving brand new,
Acting like I didn’t need you when I needed you the truth.
Late nights, you calling, I decline, I let it ring,
Too busy with my ego, tryna be everything,
Said I needed space, yeah I blamed it on the grind,
But I was really scared of love, I was running from your vibe.
You seen right through me, yeah you called me on my ways,
Said “you ain’t who you say you are,” still I couldn’t change,
And I watched you walk away, I ain’t even try to fight…
Now I’m stuck replaying everything I did that night.
⸻
[Chorus]
And I said I’d be your man, be your shelter in the rain,
Be the one who never walks away when it gets hard again,
But I was just a boy dressed up in promises and pride…
And I let forever slip right through my hands that night.
Now I’m learning how to stand in the silence that you left,
Trying to forgive the man I was when I had you at my best,
Yeah I lost the only love I was supposed to understand…
When I couldn’t be the man.
⸻
[Bridge]
I searched for you in every face, every crowded room,
In every “almost love” that ended way too soon,
But no one ever felt like you…
No one ever knew the truth.
⸻
[Verse 3 – Trap R&B style]
Yeah… I been going city to city tryna find your face,
Every girl got a piece but they can’t take your place,
Thought I’d spin the block, maybe we could run it back…
But life don’t work like that, yeah I learned that fact.
Seen you out one night, yeah you glowing, you was shining,
Different type of peace, I could tell by how you smiling,
Then I seen that ring, yeah it hit me in my chest…
He was standing right beside you, yeah he loving you the best.
