You said it wasn’t what it looked like
But I saw the truth in your eyes
You said you never meant to hurt me
But your silence cuts like knives
You said we could fix it
But you never tried
You said you loved me
But you always lied
I gave you time
I gave you grace
But you just vanished
Without a trace
Now you’re back
With your same old face
But I’m not falling
Not this place
I don’t believe you
We are so through
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
Not one word
Not one tear
Not one hurt
I don’t believe you
We are so through
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
You said you missed me
But you missed the point
You said you changed
But you still disappoint
You said you dreamed of us again
But I woke up alone
You said you’d call
But I checked my phone
I gave you time
I gave you grace
But you just vanished
Without a trace
Now you’re back
With your same old face
But I’m not falling
Not this place
I don’t believe you
We are so through
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
Not one word
Not one tear
Not one hurt
I don’t believe you
We are so through
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
You had your chance
You had your name
You played your part
You lost the game
I’m not your echo
I’m not your shame
I’m not your fire
I’m not your flame
I don’t believe you
We are so through
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you
Not one word
Not one tear
Not one hurt
I don’t believe you
We are so through
I don’t believe you
I don’t believe you

I Don't Believe You by American K-POP BOYS

She left the porch light on
But not the door unlocked
And that’s how I knew
She wasn’t coming back
She packed her bags in the quiet of dawn
Left her perfume on the curtains drawn
No fight, no tears, just a note on the bed
Said “I need more than what’s in your head”
I gave her comfort, I gave her calm
But she wanted thunder, she wanted harm
She wanted fire I couldn’t fake
So she walked away before I’d wake
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye,
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
We used to dance in the kitchen light
Laugh at nothing, hold on tight
But something changed, I saw it fade
In the way she smiled like she was afraid
She missed the chaos, missed the chase
Said I was love, but not her place
I held her close, but not enough
She needed rough, I offered love
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye,
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
I found her scarf in the backseat dust
Still smells like rain and broken trust
I drive the roads we used to roam
But every turn just leads me home
She wanted more than I could be
And maybe that’s not just on me
I gave her peace, she gave me pain
But I’d still take her back again
Now I sit with coffee cold
Talk to ghosts and stories old
She’s out there chasing something new
While I still dream of her and what to do
I hope she finds what makes her sing
Even if it’s not this ring
I’ll keep the porch light burning low
Just in case she wants to come home
But maybe love ain’t just one face
Maybe hearts can't win every race
I’ll mend the cracks, I’ll learn to bend
And maybe someday let it  end
Or someone’s start
With a softer heart
I’ll walk again
Even if it’s torn apart
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye,
Why honey why did you say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
“Goodbye… goodbye…”
“Why honey why…”
“Goodbye… goodbye…”
“Why honey why…”

She’s scrolling through her options
But I’m still logged in
Waiting for the version
She thinks I should’ve been
She’s got her eye on the next big thing
New shoes, new mood, new diamond ring
I’m just the echo in her feed
The backup plan she thinks she needs
She’s building dreams I don’t fit in
But keeps me close like a second skin
She’s looking for an upgrade
But I’m still in the frame
She’s swiping through the future
While I’m stuck in yesterday
She’s keeping me around
Till 2.0 is found
I’m the beta she won’t claim
But won’t shut down
She’s chasing something new
But I’m still breaking through
I’m not your perfect code
But I’m still here for you
She wants a remix, not a rerun
A flash of fame, not a slow burn
But I’ve got depth she won’t decode
I’m not a glitch, I’m a heavy load
She’s got her filters, got her flair
But I’m the truth she won’t compare
She’s building castles in the cloud
But I’m the ground she walks around
She’s looking for an upgrade
But I’m still in the frame
She’s swiping through the future
While I’m stuck in yesterday
She’s keeping me around
Till 2.0 is found
I’m the beta she won’t claim
But won’t shut down
She’s chasing something new
But I’m still breaking through
I’m not your perfect code
But I’m still here for you
I’m not your test run, not your spare
I’m the one who’s always there
You want the shine, you want the gloss
But I’m the love you almost lost
She’s keeping me around
Till 2.0 is found
I’m the beta she won’t claim
But won’t shut down
She’s chasing something new
But I’m still breaking through
I’m not your perfect code
But I’m still here for you
(oh yeah) She’s keeping me around (oh yeah)
She’s keeping me around (oh yeah) She’s ..keeping.. me ..around...
Still here. Still real. Still mine.
(oh yeah) She’s keeping me around (oh yeah)
She’s keeping me around (oh yeah) She’s ..keeping.. me ..around...
Still here. Still real. Still mine.
(oh yeah) She’s keeping me around (oh yeah)

Till 2.0 by American K-POP BOYS

oh la la, she’s walking by
Like a breeze beneath July
Every step’s a lullaby
And I forget the reasons why
She don’t talk in riddles
She don’t play pretend
She just hums a melody
That never seems to end
She wears her heart like velvet
Her laugh’s a carousel
And when she looks right through me
I forget myself
She moves like Sunday
Soft and slow
Like vinyl spinning
On the radio
She moves like Sunday
Golden light
And I could watch her
Till the end of night
She don’t need a spotlight
She don’t chase the fame
She just paints the morning
With a whisper of my name
She’s got that kind of magic
That you don’t define
She turns a crowded moment
Into something mine
I’ve seen the stars
I’ve chased the moon
But nothing ever felt
Quite like this tune
She’s not a dream
She’s not a guess
She’s just the answer
I never confessed
She moves like Sunday
Soft and slow
Like vinyl spinning
On the radio
She moves like Sunday
Golden light
And I could watch her
Till the end of night
She moves like Sunday
She moves like Sunday
She moves like Sunday
And I let her go
She don’t talk in riddles
She don’t play pretend
She just hums a melody
That never seems to end
She moves like Sunday
She moves like Sunday
She moves like Sunday
And I let her go

She Moves Like Sunday

In my penthouse suite, high above the city lights,
Where chandeliers drip diamonds and the moon winks goodnight,
I sit counting up all the fortunes that I have made,
from the careful execution of all the plans I have laid
I see the face on my golden watch, ticking time I can't rewind,
So I'll try to spend my wealth with not a dime left behind
in my lifestyle of tailored wonder stitched with gold and silver thread,
I sip aged cognac, and dream up wild adventures in my head
I've got yachts in Monaco, and a mansion in Dubai,
A private jet to whisk me where the sunsets never die,
Oh the pleasures of these treasures so mind blowing and vast
If it is money that you love your love for me will always last
If it is money that you love your love for me will always last
I drives a vintage Rolls-Royce down Sunset Boulevard,
palm trees and neon signs, Clubbing with hollywood stars,
A loyal staff that make things smooth every place I go
Tell me who you want to meet and I can make it so
My art collection whispers secrets from the past,
Picassos and Warhols, frozen moments meant to last,
coin and stamp collection in a safety deposit box
My safe packed with every rare rolex and tank watch
got a rooftop garden, orchids blooming in the breeze,
And a chef who crafts delicacies,
with any wine you please
Rome rooftop villa with a view of 360 degrees
Lake tahoe 10 room cabin secluded in the trees
got islands in the Caribbean, a vineyard in Bordeaux,
A portfolio of stocks I go place folks can't go
the wonder of my riches is beyond what you think is vast
If it is money that you love your love for me will always last
If it is money that you love your love for me will always last
I'm just so simple and rich, where
my every dream comes true
So if your love for money is everything.......
I'm the right rich one for you
So if your love for money is everything........
I'm the right rich one for you
I'm the right rich one for you
I'm just so simple and rich, where
my every dream comes true
So if your love for money is everything.......
I'm the right rich one for you
I'm ..the.. right rich one.. for.. you
I'm the right ...rich.. one... for... you....

Right Rich One 4U! by American K-POP BOYS

I got this music
don't want to lose it
who will choose it
oh who will choose it
hey pretty one I wrote you a song
Was hoping you'd hear it won't take long
Maybe sit by these trees outside on the lawn
If you don't like it I'll just get up and get gone
I got this music
don't want to lose it
who will choose it
oh who will choose it
[long funky sax solo]
Hey pretty one I wrote you a tune
Was hoping you'd hear it can I come by soon
maybe sit by these trees under the moon
If you don't like it I give you some room
just words with notes that float on dreams
just words with notes that show the scenes
of loves we lived in between
the the tears lost by our means
just words and notes or so it seems
just words and notes that's all it means
just words and notes
just words and notes
just words and notes
I got this music
don't want to lose it
who will choose it
oh who will choose it
[long funky sax solo]
Hey pretty one I wrote music you inspired
Was hoping you hear it if your not too tired
maybe sit by these trees I always admired
If you don't like it just tell me I'm fired
I got this music
don't want to lose it
who will choose it
oh who will choose it
Hey pretty one I wrote something for you
Was hoping you hear this creative thing I do
maybe sit by theses under sky so blue
If you don't like it just say stop and I'm through
just words with notes that float on dreams
just words with notes that show the scenes
of loves we lived in between
the the tears lost by all means
just words of notes or so it seems
just words and notes that's all it means
just words and notes
just words and notes
just words and notes
[long funky sax solo]
I got this music( I got this music)
don't want to lose it
who will choose it (who will choose it)
oh who will choose it
[funkey sax riff]
I got this music( I got this music)
don't want to lose it
who will choose it (who will choose it)
oh who will choose it (who will choose it)
who will choose it (who will choose it)

Words & Notes by American K-POP BOYS

I walked through Paris in heels too high
Smiled through London with tears in my eye
They said “be graceful,” they said “be sweet”
But I’ve been bleeding just to compete
Milan gave me mirrors, Berlin gave me steel
But none of them asked how I really feel
I’ve been the shadow behind the light
But I’m done dimming just to be polite
Woman around the world, tired of the climb
Wondering what it takes to finally shine
You can doubt me, you can flee
But no one—no one—is better than me
I’ve earned this fire, I’ve paid that fee
No one is better than me
no one—(no one) is...... better.. ....than... me
Chicago taught me how to fight
Nashville gave me sleepless nights
New York said “you’re almost there”
But I was already more than fair
Santa Monica sold me dreams
Las Vegas dressed them up in schemes
I’ve been the voice they tried to mute
But I’m done playing someone cute
Woman around the world, tired of the climb
Wondering what it takes to finally shine
You can doubt me, you can flee
But no one—no one—is better than me
I’ve earned this fire, I’ve paid that fee
No one is better than me
no one—(no one) is...... better.. ....than... me
They say “wait your turn,” they say “be nice”
They hand out crumbs and call it spice
But I’ve built empires out of grit
And I’m not asking to submit
Melbourne gave me rhythm, Barcelona gave me soul
Beverly Grove gave me glitter—got me out of the cold
Woman around the world, tired of the climb
Wondering what it takes to finally shine
You can doubt me, you can flee
But no one—no one—is better than me
I’ve earned this fire, I’ve paid that fee
No one is better than me
no one—(no one) is...... better.. ....than... me
Whatever you do, I’m gonna get through
I’ll be more than you ever knew
More than you ever were before
I’m the woman you can’t ignore
I’m that woman (I’m that woman) I’m that woman
 oh yeah(yeah) oh yeah(yeah)
I’m that woman (I’m that woman) I’m that woman
 you....will ...never ...again.....ignore
I’m that woman (I’m that woman) I’m that woman
I’ve ..earned ..this. fire,.. I’ve.. paid.. that.. fee........
No one is better than me
no one—(no one) is...... better.. ....than... me

We Own The Night! by #AKB

Snow on the rooftop, silence in bloom
Your name in the steam of a hotel room
We said forever in a borrowed coat
Now I chase echoes in every note
시간은 휘어져도 부서지지 않아
얼어붙은 호수에 너의 목소릴 그려
Echo bloom, echo bloom
You were gone, but never too soon
Every petal, every tune
Still sings of you—echo bloom
서랍 속에 접힌 편지
그때처럼 다시 읽어
너의 웃음은 스테레오 속
그림자처럼 나를 감싸
Can you hear me in the quiet?
Can you feel me in the riot?
사랑은 노래처럼 울려 퍼져
내 심장 속에 너는 멜로디야
에코 블룸, 에코 블룸
너는 떠났지만 너무 이르진 않았어
꽃잎마다, 노래마다
아직도 너를 부르고 있어—에코 블룸
Echo bloom, echo bloom
You were gone, but never too soon
Every petal, every tune
Still sings of you—echo bloom.
Echo bloom, echo bloom
You were gone, but never too soon
Every petal, every tune
Still sings of you—echo bloom
꽃잎마다, 노래마다
아직도 너를 부르고 있어—에코 블룸
Every petal, every tune
Still sings of you—echo bloom
Echo bloom—echo bloom—echo bloom…
사랑은 노래처럼… 너는 멜로디야
Love echoes like a song… You’re the melody
 Echo bloom—echo bloom—echo bloom…
사랑은 노래처럼… 너는 멜로디야
Love echoes like a song… You’re the melody
 Echo bloom—echo bloom—echo bloom…
사랑은 노래처럼… 너는 멜로디야
Love echoes like a song… You’re the melody

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
