I Never Knew

Start

Intro: Lo-Fi Synth Loop, Muted Drums, Faint Static

Every night looked the same

'til you lit a different flame.

Verse 1: Whispered Falsetto, Pulsing Bass, Filtered Beat

I wore my sins like velvet coats

Cold comfort in designer throats

You said “Don’t lie” — I smiled instead

Some truths are better left half-dead.

Pre-Chorus: Rising Pads, Tense Atmosphere

We were orbiting regret

Couldn’t pay the price just yet

Counting days in sleepless rooms

Both our hearts out of tune

Chorus: Wide, Emotional, Full Production

I never knew

(I was the ghost you kissed)

I never knew

(You prayed I’d cease to exist)

I never knew

(Your love came with a list)

Of all the things

You hoped I’d miss

Post-Chorus: Glitchy Vocals, Soft Harmonies

Missing out missing out

Somewhere lost in your doubt

Ooh ohh

Missing out missing out

Bridge: Distorted Vocals, Sparse Synths

Your shadow grew across my mind

Left a hunger I couldn’t define

You turned silence into art

Painted exits in the dark

Chorus: Wide, Emotional, Full Production

I never knew

(I was the ghost you kissed)

I never knew

(You prayed I’d cease to exist)

I never knew

(Your love came with a list)

Of all the things

You hoped I’d miss

Post-Chorus: Fragmented Vocals, Fading Out

Ohh ohh

Missing out missing out

Ooh ohh

Missing out missing out[Bridge: Glitchy R&B, Harsh Percussion, Chaotic Ambience]

She whispered in binary

“Your love was just a phase”

Then turned her back like

I’d never even grazed

Her skin… or her mistakes

Breakdown: Distorted Vocal Loop, Minimal Instrumental

(I never knew… I never knew…)

All the red was bleeding through

(I never knew…)

You were already someone new.[Synth Solo]

Outro: Reverb-Drenched Vocals, Distant Synth Arpeggio

Now I drive past your apartment

And it flickers like a dream

Maybe I was just the static

In the spaces in between

End
