A Love Unreturned

[Verse 1] I found the courage in a quiet hour To speak the truth I’ve held too long A name unspoken, a love unreturned I laid it bare, thought nothing would go wrong [Verse 2] You smiled, unaware of the weight I promised, with no hope in my voice To do anything for you and for those you love And let the choices you make be your own choice [Verse 3] I traced the path your life has taken Learning how my hands could serve, not claim I held my own desires behind a curtain And watched your days grow without a name [Bridge / Guitar Solo Section 1] [Instrumental: expressive, sustained guitar solo — long bends, emotional phrasing, tension reflecting devotion, building toward reflection] [Verse 4 / Pre-Second Solo] I’ve walked the edge between despair and purpose Held my life lightly in my hands Knowing the only honor is in giving Even if I will never stand where he stands [Verse 5 / Reflection] All my failings, all my wasted days Led me here, standing where I belong Not for recognition, not for return But for the life your heart has chosen all along [Bridge / Guitar Solo Section 2] [Instrumental: expressive, sustained guitar solo — long bends, emotional phrasing, tension building to the spoken word, ultimate emotional release] [Spoken Word] “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.” [Epilogue / Guitar Solo Section 3] [Sydney's Fate]
