Midnight Concrete

▶ Play this song to follow along.

Three years by her side, best friends through the rain,

He hid what he felt, smiled through all the pain.

Loved her from the deepest place inside of his soul,

She was more than a girl—she was making him whole.

He waited so long, never asked for a sign,

Then somehow one day, her heart became mine.

They didn't have forever, they barely had time,

But every little moment felt like a lifetime.

Late nights, small talks, just sitting together,

He thought in his heart, “Maybe this could be forever.”

But love can be cruel, and hearts can divide,

She found someone else and left him behind.

She loved someone new with the depth he once knew,

And he couldn't hate her for the things that she chose.

He could've held anger, could've blamed her instead,

But he wished her the best with a smile in his head.

He didn't stay broken, he learned how to breathe,

He let go of the hope that she'd ever return to me.

No tears every night, no war in his chest,

Just one quiet promise: “I want her life's best.”

And years may pass, but one thing stayed true,

He never found another who felt like she did to him.

Not because he was trapped, not because he couldn't start—

He just never gave someone the rest of his heart.

So she found her forever, and he let her go,

Carried those memories wherever he'd roam.

He stayed alone, not begging her to stay,

Just loving her quietly from far, far away.

Maybe that's love when there's nothing to gain—

Not holding somebody, not causing them pain.

She was his chapter, his sweetest regret,

And the one girl he loved...

the one he never forgot.
