--------Lyrics------------
[Verse 1]
I showed up every single time
With open hands and crooked spine
I caught your storms without a sound
You never noticed I was down
I traced your name on empty walls
Picked you up after every fall
Gave you all the light I had
But you never asked why I looked sad
[Pre-Chorus]
You called me when the world turned grey
Then left again by the next day
I thought if I just tried enough
Maybe I could earn your love
[Chorus]
But I was just an extra in your story
A background face with no glory
You lived your dreams, you played your part
While I stood there with a broken heart
I loved you loud, I loved you deep
But only in the spaces you didn’t keep
You never saw what I became
Just a ghost inside your flame
[Verse 2]
I learned your silence like a song
Waited somewhere I don’t belong
Told myself to hold on tight
But I was fading out of sight
You told the world your perfect lie
While I sat quiet, asking why
Why I was never good enough
Why love for me was never tough
[Pre-Chorus]
You held her hand in daylight’s glow
And kept me where the secrets go
I begged for scraps, I begged for signs
You wrote her name and erased mine
[Chorus]
'Cause I was just an extra in your story
An almost-love with no glory
You kissed her like the final scene
While I was stuck in in-betweens
I tried so hard to make you stay
You looked at me, then walked away
You had her smile, you had her eyes
I had your silence and goodbyes
[Bridge]
It hurts so loud I cannot breathe
How you used my heart then chose to leave
Like I was nothing in your book
Like I was never worth a look
I gave you nights, I gave you years
You gave me doubt, you gave me tears
I was your “maybe,” your “almost true”
But I was never meant for you
[Breakdown]
And it’s cruel how love can feel
When it’s one-sided, never real
How I broke to keep you whole
But you never asked about my soul
[Chorus]
I was just an extra in your story
A hidden scene, no fame, no glory
You built a world where I don't fit
But I kept trying, every bit
Now I’m done being unseen
Done living in someone else's dream
I deserved to be the start
Not just the girl who broke her heart
[Outro]
So this is where I walk away
No longer begging you to stay
You’ll keep shining, you won’t know
The love you lost, the pain I won’t show
I was your extra, quiet and small...
But I was the one who gave you it all.
