(🎸 Intro – fingerpicked acoustic guitar, college house sunset vibe) Hey… hey… (🥁 Light beat comes in, claps marking the tempo) 🎤 [VERSE 1] 📚 Back in school I saw you walk by Those ocean eyes pulled me under the tide Promises whispered there at the altar But life found a way to make it falter 🏠 I built our house just like before Old pictures hanging, the same front door But the more I try to remember it right The harder it gets for me to trust what I saw that night 🔥 [PRE-CHORUS] 💭 One look, one silence, one maybe Did I see what I thought I did? Or was it fear talking again ’Cause I was scared of losing you like this… 🎶 [CHORUS – CATCHY] Was it real or just in my head? 🎶 If you loved me, why this doubt instead? 💔 My heart became a judge with no proof Found us guilty and burned the truth Was it cheating or paranoia? I got lost inside my own story 🍻 If I could turn back time somehow I’d trade the doubt for peace right now (🎶 Background vocals: “In my head… in my head…”) 🎤 [VERSE 2] 👀 Every gesture became a sign Every smile turned into a trial I looked at you but couldn’t see Only the things that scared me ✈️ You walked away without a word Or maybe I just never heard Between my pride and loneliness Silence was all that we had left 🔥 [PRE-CHORUS 2 – stronger] 💭 Maybe the fault was never you Maybe I was trying to predict the truth An ending that never arrived But my jealousy had already decided… 🎶 [FINAL CHORUS – bigger, more anthemic] Was it real or just in my head? 🎶 If you loved me, why this doubt instead? 💔 My heart became a judge with no proof Locked the door on me and you Was it cheating or just my fear? I rewrote love till it disappeared 🍻 Tonight I raise a glass to what remains To the doubt that taught me pain (🥁 Full stop — only voice and acoustic guitar) “Was it love… or fear pretending to be reason?” 🎸🎶 (Upbeat solo, live show energy, crowd singing along)
