[Verse 1] I built it from nothing, stayed up all night Every frame was a fight, but I made it look right You asked for the magic, then changed your mind Now I'm rewriting history for the hundredth time [Pre-chorus] And I smile, say "no worries, it's fine" But nobody sees the hours I leave behind [Chorus] Six hours just to say "no" Nobody sees the ghosts of the versions before You want the finish line but not the road Six hours just to say "no" It's not bitter, it's just how it goes Every creative already knows You see a "looks good" – I see the blow Six hours just to say "no" [Verse 2] You don't want the story, don't want the proof Just a highlight reel with no trace of the truth Every "small revision" is another goodbye To a better idea that I had to kill to survive [Pre-chorus] And I laugh, say "totally, let's pivot again" But the graveyard of my work doesn't have a single friend [Chorus] Six hours just to say "no" Nobody sees the ghosts of the versions before You want the finish line but not the road Six hours just to say "no" It's not bitter, it's just how it goes Every creative already knows You see a "looks good" – I see the blow Six hours just to say "no" [Bridge] What if I stopped trying to read your mind? What if the magic was mine this whole time? Not angry – just finally wide awake I'm done overthinking for goodness sake [Final Chorus] Six hours just to say "no" I'm keeping the ghosts, I'm letting you go You get the final cut – I get the soul Six hours just to say "no" It's not a fight, it's just how I grow Every creative, stand in a row One small revision? No. Now watch me take my hours back and go. [Outro] Yeah. Looks good. Looks good.
