Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I've always walked away before the sky could start to rain
Left the dance while lights were shining, dodging every ounce of pain
I used to think I had it down, a master of goodbyes
Till I met someone who made me question all my lines

[Chorus]
Except for you, I've never stayed up crying
Except for you, I never lost my way
I never wrote a name in vain
Or whispered prayers in love’s domain
I never broke apart—except for you

[Verse 2]
I never traced old photographs or kept a worn-out note
Never felt my voice go shaking every time I spoke
Never watched the door in hopes that someone might walk through
I was always strong in love—except with you

[Chorus]
Except for you, I’ve never begged for answers
Except for you, I never lost my ground
No promises I'd ever chase
No memories I couldn’t face
No silent nights so loud—except for you

[Bridge]
I swore I’d never lose myself, that love was just a game
But now the rules don’t make much sense when I still speak your name

[Final Chorus]
Except for you, I’ve never known surrender
Except for you, I never broke in two
No shattered dreams I held on tight
No fading stars that stole my light
I never counted silence—except for you

[Outro]
No, I never counted silence—except for you
