[Verse 1] You were sittin’ on the hood, keys in your hand, Talkin’ like a man with no solid plan. You laughed too loud, lied too sweet, God, I loved the way you came undone for me. I played it cool, the silent type, But I memorized you every night. Said I didn’t need you — yeah, that was a lie. I just didn’t wanna say goodbye. [Chorus – Soft & Soulful] I never said it right, Not once, not out loud. I held it in my throat, Like smoke I wouldn’t blow out. I wanted to be the calm in your storm — But baby, I never found the words to our song [Verse 2] You’d crash at mine with whiskey eyes, Sayin’ nothin’ deep but sleepin’ tight. I’d steal a glance, I’d touch your wrist, Tryna bottle what it meant to exist. I saw you dreamin’ through my phone, Every text felt like home. But I kept it all on airplane mode — 'Cause love’s a place I don’t go. [Chorus – Build slightly] I never said it right, Not once, not clear. You heard my silence louder Than the words you wished you’d hear. I wanted to be the one you ran to — But I stayed still and watched you move. [Bridge – Building Tension] I wrote you down in half-sent songs, Lit your name in bathroom fog. I kissed your ghost in the glass, Still think of you when the records scratch. [Switch to Alt-Rock] (tempo picks up, guitar distortion, louder drums) [Final Chorus – Alt-Rock Energy] I never said it right — so here it is, I wanted you like a secret sin. You were the line I wouldn’t cross Till I watched you get lost. You deserved a girl who’d scream your name, Not one hiding shame in cellophane. But fuck it, I miss you most When I’m sober and close To sayin’ it right — [Outro – Shouted] But I never Said It Right.
