Everything He Wasn’t

[ Lyrics ]

He's everything he wasn't — love in fast motion.

Says my name like it's a prayer, pulls me close without the doubt,
laughed at my joke in the silence, didn’t shut me out.
Texts me 'good morning' before I wake,
not a ghost in the day, not a trail I have to chase.
No games in the hallway, no cold shoulder pose,
he opens the door like I’m something he chose.
I don’t overanalyze what he leaves in the room —
just the scent of his cologne and the bloom of my bloom.

I know I’m not fixed, I know I’m not whole,
but he looks like healing, so I play the role.

And if I’m falling, at least I’m not slow —
love in fast motion, don’t you know?

He's everything he wasn't — love in fast motion,
no hesitation, no smoke in the mirror.
He's everything I needed — heart in full throttle,
wake up wanted, no fear in the rearview.

He dances with me in the kitchen, sings off-key to the radio,
doesn’t flinch when I cry at the ending of films.
Said my scars make me interesting, not a burden, not a flaw,
and he memorized how I take my coffee — black, no pause.
He touches me soft in the daylight, not just when the lights go down,
says he's never been happier — like I'm the one he found.
I don’t ask if it’s real. I don’t look for the thread —
I just lie in the afterglow, breathing like I’m free.

I know I’m not cured, I know it’s not fair,
but I wear his affection like armor there.

And if this is pretend, then I’m all in, I swear —
love in fast motion, don’t you dare slow down.

He's everything he wasn't — love in fast motion,
no hesitation, no smoke in the mirror.
He's everything I needed — heart in full throttle,
wake up wanted, no fear in the rearview.

Is this love? Or just the absence of pain?
A new rhythm in my chest, or the same old refrain?
I don’t miss the silence, I don’t miss the cold,
but I miss knowing my own story before it unfolds.

He's everything he wasn't — love in fast motion,
no hesitation, no smoke in the mirror.
He's everything I needed — heart in full throttle,
wake up wanted, no fear in the rearview.

Love in fast motion…

Yeah… just don’t slow down.
