Lyrics
Intro – soft piano, distant ambience
I was there for everybody…
Just didn’t know nobody would be there for me…
⸻
Verse 1 – melodic, reflective
I stayed up late on nights you couldn’t sleep
Talked you down when life got too deep
Took your calls when my world was falling apart
Still put you back together piece by piece, part by part
I gave my time like it was free to spend
Put bandages on wounds that weren’t mine to mend
You said, “I don’t know what I’d do without you”
Guess I’m about to find out the truth
⸻
Pre-Chorus – rising emotion
‘Cause when the silence filled my room
And I had no one left to call…
⸻
Chorus – emotional, powerful
I had everybody’s back, I was holding the line
But when I needed someone, nobody had mine
I carried your storms, I carried your pain
But I stood in my thunder alone in the rain
I was the shoulder, the voice, the light in the dark
Now I’m just another name you forgot to mark
Yeah, I had everybody’s back, every single time
So tell me now… who’s got mine?
⸻
Verse 2 – rap, more raw and direct
Yeah
I was the ride when you had nowhere to go
The late-night therapist nobody paid for
I’d drop everything just to answer your call
But when I hit rock bottom, you ain’t there at all
I kept receipts of every promise you made
Every “I got you too” that started to fade
Now I’m scrolling through contacts, staring at names
Realizing loyalty ain’t a two-way game
⸻
Pre-Chorus – tension
I guess I was convenient
Not someone you’d defend
⸻
Chorus – bigger, layered vocals
I had everybody’s back, I was holding the line
But when I needed someone, nobody had mine
I carried your storms, I carried your pain
But I stood in my thunder alone in the rain
I was the shoulder, the voice, the light in the dark
Now I’m just another name you forgot to mark
Yeah, I had everybody’s back, every single time
So tell me now… who’s got mine?
⸻
Bridge – stripped, vulnerable → powerful
(soft)
Was I just useful…
Was I just easy to find…
(building)
Did you ever really care
Or just like having me behind…
(powerful)
I WAS YOUR ARMOR, YOUR SHIELD, YOUR FRIEND
BUT WHEN I BROKE, THAT WAS THE END
NOW I’M PATCHING MYSELF BACK UP AGAIN
LEARNING TO STAND WITHOUT PRETEND
⸻
Final Chorus – emotional climax
I had everybody’s back, I was holding the line
But when I needed someone, nobody had mine
I gave you my loyalty, gave you my time
You gave me silence when I needed a sign
So I’ll stop bleeding for people who wouldn’t bleed for me
Stop fighting wars where I’m the only one on my team
Yeah, I had everybody’s back, I crossed every line
But from now on…
I’ve got mine.
⸻
Outro – quiet piano + rain sounds
I guess sometimes you only learn…
Who’s really there…
When you stop being strong for everyone else…
