[Intro: low guitar, room noise] Mmm… we miss you Charlie Kirk… [Verse 1] You took a scrap and called it proof Said the line like that was all Never waited for the rest of him Never felt the weight at all Easy shot from a safe distance Quick label, quicker fame Put a man inside a box Then forgot he had a name [Pre-Chorus] Words get thin when you rush them Truth gets lost in the take Cut a life down to a clip And the next step’s easier to make [Chorus: male lead, female choir backing] We miss Kirk We miss the rest of the line Took a syllable, made it a knife Spoke from the heart all his life We miss Kirk Now the quiet does the crime Loose tongues lose lives And we still talk like it’s fine [Verse 2] Charlie Kirk under a white tent Utah sun, a crowd in bloom One question hanging in the heat Then a rooftop stole the room Thirty-one, still mid-sentence The argument never closed Rhetoric came first, then the shot Then the whole world struck a pose [Pre-Chorus] Are we trained to pick a side Before we’ve even heard the rest? Most of us just grab a scrap And swear that scrap was best [Chorus: male lead, female choir backing] We miss Kirk We miss the rest of the line Took a syllable, made it a knife Spoke from the heart all his life We miss Kirk Now the quiet does the crime Loose tongues lose lives And we still talk like it’s fine [Verse 3] Then the feed ate what was left Cheer and rage in equal parts Jobs gone for a single post Paint on stone, a public farce Everyone claimed a piece of him No one wanted the whole Noise so loud it drowned the fact A family paid the toll [Instrumental Break: jangly guitars] [Quiet Chorus: soft male vocal, low choir] His wife was left to hold the name His children left to learn the cost While strangers fought about a clip The ones who loved him paid the most We miss Kirk Not the slogan, not the war We miss the man the noise forgot Standing in that tent before [Bridge] Don’t box a soul you haven’t walked Don’t judge a life by one last taste Words travel farther than you think They land. They stay. They waste. [Final Chorus: male lead, female choir] We miss Kirk We miss the rest of the line Took a syllable, made it a knife Spoke from the heart all his life We miss Kirk Now the quiet does the crime Loose tongues lose lives We miss Kirk [Outro: female choir, fade] Loose tongues lose lives Loose tongues lose lives [Spoken word] We all miss you Charlie Kirk…
