A No is not a Never

The Conductor (Contains Ai Content)

This song came from wanting to hold onto words that vanish too quickly, the ones you wish someone would repeat just once more so you’d believe them. It’s a story of fragile truths and beautiful lies, where love feels like both a sanctuary and a wound. The lyrics wrestle with memory, longing, and the need to hear what can’t be unsaid, even if it’s spoken only to soften the silence.

This track is about vulnerability in the middle of chaos and holding onto echoes even when the walls are falling. It’s raw, bittersweet, and drenched in the kind of honesty that can’t be undone.

Full Lyrics (no brackets, continuous)

You said, “Don’t fall—just float.”
But I was already sinking.
You lit the match, I breathed the smoke.
Now I’m still thinking…

You drew circles on my wrist,
Like a prophecy you couldn’t resist.
Every scar became a wish—
Unspoken prayers in every kiss.

I tried to be quiet, but I break too loud,
Thunder in rooms where silence is allowed.
And when I laughed, you held your breath,
Like joy itself could burn us to death.

We’re a maybe wrapped in yesterdays,
Two souls with no safe place to stay.

Say it again like you mean it this time,
Tell me I’m more than a wound you survived.
Say it again—lie if you must—
I just need one word I can trust.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again… before it fades.

I kept your note beneath my shoe,
So I’d always walk a little like you.
You hide your past under your tongue—
Bitter medicine, but it keeps you running.

We built a house on borrowed ground,
Called it love, but it never stayed sound.
Still you haunt me, sweet and low,
Like a song I swear I used to know.

We’re a maybe wrapped in yesterdays,
Too close to leave, too real to stay.

Say it again like you mean it this time,
Tell me I’m more than a wound you survived.
Say it again—lie if you must—
I just need one word I can trust.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again…

Were we truth, or just a ghost with hands?
Did we ever stand a chance?
If you can’t stay, then leave a sound—
Just don’t let silence drag me down.

Say it again like you’ll never let go,
Like the night itself still wants to know.
Say it again while I’m still near,
Make it love—or make it clear.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again…

…before it fades.
