Like Never Was

Verse 1:

Everything I own just fades away

Like dust in wind at the break of day

Gone before I even say goodbye

No warning, no reason why

The people, the places, the things I hold

Disappear like stories never told

Every moment just slips through my hands

Like water soaking through the sand

---

Chorus:

Why does it feel like I’m cursed to lose?

Every time I win, I pay my dues

I try to hope, I try to pray

But it all just goes away

Like it never was, like it never stayed

I stand here still, just watch it fade

---

Verse 2:

I build my world on steady ground

But somehow it all comes crashing down

Even when I smile and say, “I'm fine”

The silence screams between the lines

I hold my breath, I make a vow

But fate just laughs and knocks me down

No answers come, no signs appear

Just this echo I always hear

---

Chorus (repeat):

Why does it feel like I’m cursed to lose?

Every time I win, I pay my dues

I try to hope, I try to pray

But it all just goes away

Like it never was, like it never stayed

I stand here still, just watch it fade

---

Bridge:

And I don’t speak, I barely move

Frozen by a pain I can’t prove

Watching dreams just pass me by

Too tired now to even cry

---

Final Chorus (softer, emotional):

Why does it feel like I’m meant to break?

Every good thing turns out fake

I try to live, I try to stay

But it all just fades away

Like it never was, like it never stayed

I’m just a shadow in the shade
