Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the depths of a love that’s not mine to claim,
I found myself lost, tangled in the dialogue,
Words that hit hard, leaving me raw,
Faced with the truth and a heart shattered.

[VERSE 1]
She said, “Theo, you’re just not my type; you lack that spark,”
The sting hit me like a crack in a mirror.
“I’m completely head‑over‑heels for someone else,” she said, “newsflash: it’s not you.”
Her heart’s fully locked onto another, not me,
A passion so fierce it engulfs her entirely.

[PRE‑CHORUS]
I keep my head down, counting the steps we took,
Trying to find the line where we lost our hook.
The echo of her laugh, it’s a ghost in the night,
I’m standing in silence, watching the city light.

[CHORUS]
I’m not “the one”—just a wrong turn on a neon street,
A fleeting thought, a love that’s incomplete.
I’m not on your wishlist; I’m a side character,
Stuck in the shadows until the game’s final level.

[VERSE 2]
Our ideals crash like two contenders in a thunderstorm,
We dance on the edge, but the rhythm’s gone.
She’s chasing horizons that I can’t see,
While I’m left with echoes of what used to be.

[PRE‑CHORUS]
I trace the letters of her name in the rain,
Each drop a reminder that she’s gone again.
The city hums a lullaby that’s no longer mine,
I’m learning to breathe without a sign.

[CHORUS]
I’m not “the one”—just a wrong turn on a neon street,
A fleeting thought, a love that’s incomplete.
I’m not on your wishlist; I’m a side character,
Stuck in the shadows until the game’s final level.

[BRIDGE]
I’d trade a thousand nights just to hear her voice,
But I’m a ghost in the hallway of your choice.
If love was a road, I’d be the detour sign,
A quiet apology for a life left behind.
