Everything But Love

[Intro]
Yeah, I made it—
But you’re still the ghost in the crowd.

[Verse 1]
Said I’d never be more than noise in a bar,
Now I’m headlining nights, driving fast cars.
You wanted steady, I chased the sky,
You flew away—guess you needed a safer life.

Told me dreams don’t pay the rent,
Laughed when I couldn’t make a cent.
But now your words echo backstage,
When I kill it on a sold-out stage.

[Chorus]
I’ve got lights, I’ve got fame,
People screaming out my name.
Gold records on the wall,
But I still feel nothing at all.
You said I’d lose, I’d break, I’d fall,
Now I’m everything you said I’d never become.
But I’ve got everything… everything but love.

[Verse 2]
Yeah, the whiskey’s top shelf,
But I still drink to forget myself.
Every song I sing, they say it’s fire,
But they don’t hear the pain behind the choir.

They all want the version I pretend to be,
But they don’t know what you did to me.
You said I’d never be enough,
Now I’m drowning in everything—but love.

[Chorus]
I’ve got lights, I’ve got fame,
People screaming out my name.
Gold records on the wall,
But I still feel nothing at all.
You said I’d lose, I’d break, I’d fall,
Now I’m everything you said I’d never become.
But I’ve got everything… everything but love.

[Bridge]
And maybe you watch from across the sea,
See me living your “impossible” dream.
But do you ever wonder late at night,
If you were wrong—and I was right?

[Final Chorus]
I’ve got lights, I’ve got fame,
Crowds that chant my name.
Private jets and city lights,
But no one to hold at night.
You said I’d fail, I’d fade, I’d run—
But I turned my scars into number ones.
Still I’ve got everything…
Everything but love.
Yeah, I’ve got everything—
But not the one I was dreaming of.
