Never Reached You

Låttext

[Verse 1] I kept your coat beside the bedroom door, Though winter passed and you came home no more. Your coffee cup still waited by the sink, I learned how much a quiet room can think. [Pre-Chorus] I held the pieces underneath your name, While every promise slowly lost its shape. [Chorus] You were reaching for a ghost beyond my arms, I was standing in the wreckage of your heart. I gave you every road I knew to take, But you kept one foot inside his yesterday. If love means choosing who is here and true, Then I was there—but never reached you. [Verse 2] I learned to read the silence in your eyes, The distant gaze, the unfinished goodbyes. You say you love me, but I sense the lie; Another name still occupies your mind. [Pre-Chorus] I held the pieces underneath your name, While every promise slowly lost its shape. [Chorus] You were reaching for a ghost beyond my arms, I was standing in the wreckage of your heart. I gave you every road I knew to take, But you kept one foot inside his yesterday. If love means choosing who is here and true, Then I was there—but never reached you. [Bridge] Perhaps one day you’ll finally understand: I was the one who never let go of your hand. He left you broken; I remained through the pain, But you continued waiting for him to return again. [Final Chorus] You betrayed my heart for someone who left you, I gave you forever, but forever was not true. I built a home from every word you said, While you kept setting places for the dead. Now take the memories you refused to lose; I’ll take the life you never chose. You betrayed my heart for someone who left you, And I was the one who stayed—and still outgrew you. [Outro] I was the one who stayed, But I won’t stay this way.
