You never knew

Verse 1 You showed up like it was normal Like I wasn’t hard to read I was hiding in plain daylight You just sat right next to me Didn’t ask me for the story Didn’t need the broken parts But somehow you saw the damage Like it echoed through my heart Pre-Chorus I was drifting, barely holding Learning how to play okay You were steady in the background Never trying to be the change Chorus You saw me when I was see-through Heard me when I stayed quiet Found the light I kept buried Didn’t even try to fight it You never knew you saved me Never knew you pulled me through I was lost inside my own head You just stayed like good friends do Now you’re gone, but I’m still standing With the strength I got from you Yeah… you never knew Verse 2 You remembered little things Like my coffee, how I think Like the way I’d go silent Right before I’d start to sink You made space without a question Like I didn’t need to earn Every version of my chaos You just let it have a turn Pre-Chorus I didn’t see it in the moment Didn’t know what you had done But you stitched up parts of me Without saying you were the one Chorus You saw me when I was see-through Heard me when I stayed quiet Found the light I kept buried Didn’t even try to fight it You never knew you saved me Never knew you pulled me through I was lost inside my own head You just stayed like good friends do Now you’re gone, but I’m still standing With the strength I got from you Yeah… you never knew Bridge (soft, raw) You weren’t trying to fix me Didn’t need to understand You just showed up every time Like that was already enough And I never said it out loud Never told you what you’d done Now I carry all that silence Like a weight I can’t outrun Final Chorus (extended) You saw me when I was shattered Like I didn’t have to hide Like the worst parts of my story Didn’t make me less alive You never knew you saved me Never knew you changed my view Turned a life I almost gave up Into something I got through Now I live with what you gave me In everything I do Yeah… I’m still here because of you Outro (quiet, almost whispered) And I hope somehow you hear this Wherever you might be You were more than just a moment You were what I needed to breathe And I’ll never forget you Even if you never knew
