[Verse 1] They wrote you as the fantasy, the one who always wins The kind of man who fixes hearts but never bruises skin Behind the camera's mercy, something darker started slow A tremor in your steady hands the audience didn't know [Pre-Chorus] They expected you to disappear Like every story ends But you stayed on the stage [Chorus] One last take, all the lights still on One last take, 'til the breath is gone No rehearsal for a scene like this Just a man refusing to be missed One last take [Verse 2] Your body wrote a different script, one you never chose Muscles turning strangers, voice beginning to erode But you grabbed the microphone and shouted through the static Ten months of standing tall while gravity pulled tragic [Pre-Chorus] They thought the scene was over When the diagnosis came But you walked back on set [Chorus] One last take, all the lights still on One last take, 'til the breath is gone No rehearsal for a scene like this Just a man refusing to be missed One last take [Bridge] You couldn't save yourself And that's what made you real Not the mask they paid for But the man who kept his promise To use the time he had To give the voiceless speech [Outro] One last take... The cameras cut but we still see your face One last take... Some exits leave a legacy in place One last take... Yours burns on
