“‘Anything He Was’ lives in the ache of loving someone who is still haunted by someone else,” the band shares, its chorus’ lush vocal harmony still barely rising above a whisper. “It’s about trying to become the answer to a question you were never meant to solve and slowly realizing that no amount of tenderness can rewrite what they’re missing. It captures that painful kind of hope where you keep giving, loving, and trying to be enough, even when some part of you knows you’re being measured against a memory of another. This song came from a place of loneliness and self-delusion, but we hope it feels comforting to anyone who has ever stayed too long in something that made them feel second-best. -FLOOD
