Seven years I gave to a man who only ever treated me like a hookup and an ATM — and the whole time, he had a secret girlfriend.
Seven years of shadows, hotel rooms, and signs I ignored because I wanted him. I paid the price just to feel something real, and he took more than he ever gave. "I Was Never Your Secret" is the truth finally said out loud — because a lying tongue only lasts a moment.
From the lyric sheet
Seven years of shadows, meet me in the dark
Hotel rooms and broken pieces of my heart
I paid the price just to feel something real
But every time… you took more than you gave to me
Said you missed me, I knew what that meant
Another night, another lie well spent
And I ignored every sign I could see
'Cause I wanted you… but you never chose me.
✎ A note to journal on
What truth have you been keeping quiet to keep the peace? What would saying it out loud give back to you?
Have a story that needs a song?
Some stories are too deep for ordinary words. I help turn personal stories, testimonies, love stories, grief journeys, family memories, and life experiences into custom songs.
