Backstory

The track you write for someone who can't hear it anymore. Or maybe they can. King Combs wrote Kim for his mother — this is that same energy. Every sacrifice, every late night, every 'I'm fine' that wasn't. For you.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wrote this in a room you'll never walk in
Played it on a speaker you'll never hear
But something tells me music doesn't need a room
It just needs to be sincere
Remember when you told me I'd be something?
I laughed it off like you were being nice
Now I'm everything you said and the only one who's missing
Is the person who was right

[Chorus]
This is for you
The one who believed before the proof
This is for you
I hope it reaches wherever you moved to
If heaven's got a playlist
I hope this makes the queue

[Verse 2]
They say grief gets smaller but they're lying
It just learns to sit quiet in the room
Some days I forget, and then a song comes on
And suddenly it's June
I carry you in everything I'm building
Your voice in every choice I make
You didn't get to see the finished version
But you believed in the first take

[Bridge]
I'm not saying goodbye
I'm saying thank you with my chest
And if you hear this where you are
Just know I gave it all my best

[Outro]
For you... always for you
