[[Intro — Whispered]
I built a world around you...
A world you never saw.
I gave you years you never lived.
And you...
You never knew my name.
[Verse I — Growls]
I waste the hours inside your shadow,
While you breathe somewhere without me.
A thousand conversations in my head,
A thousand words you'll never hear me speak.
I gave a future to a stranger,
Built a home behind my eyes.
I watched us grow old together
Inside the comfort of a lie.
[Pre-Chorus — Clean / Growl Layers]
You never promised me forever!

You never chose to stay!
YOU NEVER BETRAYED ME!
There was no promise to betray!
I BROKE MY OWN HEART
WITH A LIFE WE NEVER MADE!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge — Clean, atmospheric]
Maybe someday we'll cross each other
On some crowded nameless street.
You'll look into my eyes for seconds.
I'll carry years inside that gaze.
Maybe you'll smile.
Maybe you'll ask my name.
And you'll never understand
Why my hands begin to shake.
[Build — Growls gradually entering]
Because you were my unwritten future.
My memory without a past.
My goodbye without a meeting.
My first...
WITHOUT A LAST!
[Final Chorus — Clean + Growled Backing Vocals]
YOU NEVER KNEW MY NAME!
But I imagined growing old with you.
I saw the fights, the quiet mornings,
