Half-Written Songs is his guilt spiral — the fear that he's got nothing whole to offer, that his ex taught him how to leave a room without ever standing up. A confession set to a slow burn, about a man who's terrified he's only capable of giving someone half of himself. Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

I clean up nice,

I comb my hair

Put on a shirt that don't smell like the barn

But underneath this button-down

I'm still the same old scars

[Verse 2]

She sits down there in her usual seat

Lights up like she don't even try

And I stand up here behind this mic

Too much of a coward to say goodbye — to being alone

[Pre-Chorus]

My buddy keeps telling me to move

Says she's watching,

says it's time

But how do I hand her my whole heart

When half of it ain't even mine

[Chorus]

All I've got are half-written songs

And a truck full of things gone wrong

She deserves a man whole and true

Not a verse I never got around to

Half-written songs,

that's all I bring But God,

I want to finish one — for her,

I'd try anything

[Verse 3]

She taught me how to leave a room

Even when I never left my seat

Now every time she smiles at me

I brace for the same defeat

[Chorus]

All I've got are half-written songs

And a truck full of things gone wrong

She deserves a man whole and true

Not a verse I never got around to

Half-written songs, that's all I bring

But God, I want to finish one — for her, I'd try anything

[Bridge]

Maybe the ending ain't written yet

Maybe I don't have to guess

Maybe the bravest thing I'll do tonight

Is sing the next verse to her, and not the rest

[Chorus — stripped, half tempo, building back]

All I've got are half-written songs

But I'm done singing them alone

She deserves a man whole and true

So tonight, I'm starting something new

[Outro]

No more half-written songs...

No more half-written songs…
