You never knew me

Das Dankeschön an Robbie Williams

Verse1]  

There are nights that never leave you  

not because something beautiful began  

but because somehow you survived them  

And somewhere through those endless years  

your voice kept finding me  

Not as an answer  

Not as a rescue  

 

[Pre-Chorus]  

Just a quiet reminder  

that even the darkest roads  

eventually reach the morning  

 

[Chorus]  

And maybe the saddest thing is this  

You may never know  

Never know how many times  

your truth carried me home  

Never know that somewhere in the world  

there was a stranger  

holding on to your words  

like they were the last light left  

You may never know  

And still  

thank you  

 

[Verse2]  

You never knew my name  

Never heard my prayers  

spoken into empty rooms  

Never saw the hospital walls  

the fear behind my smile  

or all the times I almost gave up  

And still  

somehow you were there  

In the silence  

In the waiting  

In the moments when hope  

felt like a language I had forgotten  

 

[Pre-Chorus]  

It wasn’t only the music  

It was the honesty  

The way you stood in the light  

and spoke about the dark  

 

[Chorus]  

And maybe the saddest thing is this  

You may never know  

Never know how many nights  

you helped me through  

Never know how much courage  

can live inside a single story  

Never know that somewhere in the crowd  

stood a person  

whose life was changed  

by a man he would never meet  

You may never know  

And still  

thank you  

 

[Bridge]  

Sometimes I wonder  

if people ever realize  

what they leave behind in others  

How far a single sentence can travel  

How long a little hope can survive  

How one honest story  

can keep another heart beating  

Years later  

Miles away  

Without ever knowing  

 

[Final-Chorus]  

Maybe I’ll always be  

just another face in a crowd  

Maybe you’ll never know  

why that moment meant everything to me  

Maybe you’ll never hear  

the words I’ve carried for so long  

But if gratitude had a voice  

it would be singing your name tonight  

Because you never pretended  

to be unbreakable  

You spoke about fear  

About failure  

About falling apart  

About the days  

when hope felt heavy  

And when you spoke about your demons  

I stopped being ashamed of mine  

When you told the truth about your scars  

you taught people like me  

that broken isn’t the same as lost  

That falling isn’t the same as failing  

That fear doesn’t mean surrender  

You never knew me  

And maybe you never will  

But because you had the courage  

to tell your story  

I found the strength  

to keep writing mine
