--- ### **[Intro]** *(Soft acoustic guitar, vinyl crackle)* --- ### **[Verse 1]** I still catch myself smiling At memories that don't feel the same. The places never changed, Only the meaning of your name. You looked at me so gently, Spoke like you'd never let go. Maybe I fell for your promises... More than the person I know. I filled the silence with forever, Painted futures in my mind. I never noticed I was loving someone I had designed. --- ### **[Pre-Chorus]** You didn't become somebody else. The truth is... I finally met Who you'd been All along. --- ### **[Chorus]** I'm not crying over who you are now, I'm mourning the dream I held. The boy I kept believing in Was somebody I created myself. I keep reaching for a memory That disappears every time. I'm not missing you anymore... I miss someone who never really existed. --- ### **[Post-Chorus]** i love youuuuuuuu i love youuuuuu i hate youuuu --- ### **[Verse 2]** The little things all make sense now— The late replies, The empty eyes, The promises that always slipped away. I kept blaming bad timing, Distance, Stress, Anything except the truth. Because believing in you Was easier Than believing I'd been wrong. --- ### **[Pre-Chorus 2]** Love can be beautiful... But hope Can rewrite a person Until they're unrecognizable. --- ### **[Chorus]** I'm not crying over who you are now, I'm grieving who I thought you'd be. Every future I imagined Ended quietly inside of me. I kept trying to find The version that loved me back. But every step forward Only led me farther from that. I miss someone who never really existed. ### **[Post-Chorus]** i love youuuuuuuu i love youuuuuu i hate youuuu --- ### **[Bridge]** *(Only acoustic guitar)* Maybe you never lied... Maybe I just heard What I wanted to hear. Maybe you gave me pieces... And I built a whole person Out of them. --- ### **[Final Chorus]** *(Gentle harmonies, soft strings)* I'm not crying over losing you. I'm crying over losing The story I told myself. The way you looked at me, The future I believed, The home I thought we'd build, The love I thought was real. Now I know Some heartbreaks Aren't about the person who leaves... They're about finally saying goodbye To the illusion You held onto for far too long. **I miss someone who never really existed.** --- ### **[Outro]** *(Acoustic guitar fades into silence)* The hardest part... Wasn't losing you. It was realizing... I never had The version of you I loved you.
