Lyrics

"This one's for you"
By Yves Stilmant © 2025

[Verse 1A]
We played for rooms with just one soul
Still gave it all, heart and soul
Some nights we only had each other
But we played on -- me and my brothers
[Verse 1B]
You sang the words I barely wrote
You felt the ache behind the notes
From midnight dives to hometown shows
You were the light when no one showed
[Pre-Chorus]
You were the echo in the dark
You kept the fire in my spark
[Chorus]
This one's for you
Who stayed, who knew
This one's for you
The faithful few
This one's for you
Who heard the truth
This one's for you
And every song I still owe you
[Verse 2A]
You bought the record, wore it thin
Told your friends I'd make it big
You cried when I was fallin' down
Then cheered me back up off the ground
[Verse 2B]
Some turned away, some shut the door
But you kept knockin' back for more
You made a stage from broken floors
Now every chord is yours and more
[Pre-Chorus]
Through every high and every low
You gave me space to let it grow
[Chorus]
This one's for you
Who stayed, who knew
This one's for you
The faithful few
This one's for you
Who heard the truth
This one's for you
And every song I still owe you
[Bridge]
You didn't need the lights or fame
You just believed and called my name
So if I never get my due
Just know I made it -- thanks to you
[Final Chorus - repeat and build]
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you
And every song I still owe you...
