Lyrics
[Song Style:]
[Modern Country • Cinematic Country • Indie Folk • Emotional Americana]
[Song Tempo:]
[118 BPM]
[Production:]
[* Fingerpicked acoustic guitar opening]
[* Warm acoustic strumming once the verse begins]
[* Light kick, snare, and brushed percussion]
[* Dobro/slide guitar answering the vocal lines]
[* Fiddle gradually introduced in the second verse]
[* Bass becomes more prominent in the choruses]
* Background harmonies on key phrases
[* Bridge strips down to acoustic guitar and vocal]
[* Final chorus explodes with fiddle, full drums, acoustic guitars, cinematic strings, and huge vocal harmonies]
[* End with acoustic guitar and a distant dobro lick]
[Intro]
[Acoustic guitar and distant dobro]
Sometimes you miss someone…
You never even got to know.
[Verse 1]
In the quiet corners of my mind
There’s a shadow I can’t define
Fading whispers of a dream
Something that was never what it seemed
I had a picture in my head
Of all the things we’d never said
A front porch light, a midnight drive
A thousand moments that never came alive
[Pre-Chorus]
How do you grieve what never came?
How do you mourn without a name?
It was a fire I could see
But there was never any flame
[Chorus]
I’m losing someone I never had
Missing something that was never mine
Chasing ghosts down an empty road
Looking for a place we never called home
There’s an empty space where you should be
A memory of a future haunting me
Maybe love can hurt this bad
When you’re losing someone you never had
[Verse 2]
I hear your name in the radio
In an old song from a long time ago
And for a second I can see
The life I thought you’d share with me
I drive past places we never went
Think about the time we never spent
Funny how a heart can break
Over something that was never there to take
[Pre-Chorus]
How do you bury what never died?
How do you leave what’s never arrived?
I keep looking down that road
For a life I never got to know
[Chorus]
I’m losing someone I never had
Missing something that was never mine
Chasing ghosts down an empty road
Looking for a place we never called home
There’s an empty space where you should be
A memory of a future haunting me
Maybe love can hurt this bad
When you’re losing someone you never had
[Bridge]
Maybe in another town
Another life, another time
I’d find you waiting at the door
And you’d finally be mine
Maybe we’d sit beneath the stars
Laugh about how far we’d come
But here I am with open hands
Holding onto what never was
[Music drops almost completely]
And that’s the hardest part…
I don’t miss you.
I miss who we could’ve been.
[Final Chorus — CINEMATIC BUILD]
[Acoustic guitar returns.]
I’m losing someone I never had
Missing something that was never mine
Chasing ghosts down an empty road
Looking for a place we never called home
[Fiddle enters.]
There’s an empty space where you should be
A memory of a future haunting me
Drums and strings begin swelling.
Maybe love can hurt this bad…
When you’re losing someone you never had.
