Greatest Story (Never Told) Lyrics

I guess I never told you
At least you never heard
Or maybe my heart just got lost
And couldn't find the words

It seems like time's a bandit
It's stolen my last chance
We both heard the music
But didn't dare to dance

And now I see what was meant to be
It slipped right through our hands
All you'll be is a memory
A ghost locked in the past

I'm hummin' 'bout my feelin'
As your love for me grows cold
You and I will surely be
The greatest story never told

It wasn't in an instant
A once upon a time
How could something so priceless
Just turn on a dime?

I've tried so hard to hate you
And I've tried to let you go
I've tried to find a reason
There isn't one I know

Now I see what was meant to be
It slipped right through our hands
All you'll be is a memory
A ghost locked in the past

I'm hummin' 'bout my feelin'
As your love for me grows cold
You and I will surely be
The greatest story never told

I'm hummin' 'bout my feelin'
As your love for me grows cold
You and I will surely be
The greatest story never told
The greatest story never told

I'm hummin' 'bout my feelin'
As your love for me grows cold
You and I will surely be
The greatest story never told
The greatest story never told

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
