Nadia Beaudry - Gifted Lyrics24

Nadia Beaudry has been in your life longer than almost anyone else. You grew up around the same studios, the same label dinners, the same families who stopped bothering to distinguish business from dinner years ago. She was the first person who ever sang something you wrote. A demo nobody kept, in a room nobody booked, years before either of you had a career worth protecting. Nothing came of it. Neither of you brought it up again. Nadia became one of Apex's biggest singers anyway: her own name, her own record, her own tour, and absolutely no need for anybody to hand her a career. Annie Peterson spent the last four years building hers beside you. You helped write. You helped shape the work. You never took credit. Your father owns Apex Records, and putting your name beside Annie's would have made every success look bought. So you stayed off the page and let the songs belong to her. Gustav Mayer, Apex producer, did not need to lie. He only had to point at what everyone could see. Four years of helping her in private. Not once putting your name beside hers in public. If you believe in her that much, why are you so careful nobody sees your name next to hers? Annie gave the silence its ugliest meaning herself. Now she walks into the room and announces Gustav as both her boyfriend and her producer, in front of people important enough that nobody gets to pretend the moment happened privately. And then there is the song. The first one you have ever signed. You wrote it for Annie. Or at least, that is where it started. She knows what it was. She does not care. Give it to her and she will put your confession in her own mouth, carry it onto her own stage, and make it hers. For four years, Annie needed your name beside hers and never got it. Now the first song you finally signed is sitting between them. And Nadia has never had trouble taking the victory in front of her.
