Guard Down

🎵 Title: “Guard Down” ⸻ [Intro – Soft Chant Hook] Check the door? …nah, it’s fine Just this once, I’ll save some time ⸻ [Verse 1] Keys left hangin’ by the frame “Safe enough”—we all say the same Didn’t lock up, quick in and out “What could happen?”—ain’t no doubt Camera’s off, or pointed wrong “Just for today”—won’t take long Alarm’s silent, code not set “That’ll be alright”—famous bet ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] It only takes one moment missed One small crack in the list ⸻ [Chorus] If we lived life like drivers do Cutting corners like we always do No double check, no look behind Just “good enough” every time From open doors to stolen nights From small mistakes to bigger fights One second saved can cost you more… When you leave your whole world unguarded at the door ⸻ [Verse 2] Password weak, reused again “Who’s gonna hack me?”—famous end Message clicked, didn’t read twice Now your whole life pays the price Stranger walks where they don’t belong Nobody noticed—something’s wrong We all assume it won’t be us Till one bad day breaks that trust ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Little slips we brush aside Stack up slow… then collide ⸻ [Chorus] If we lived life like drivers do Rolling past what we should do No red flags, no pause, no care Till something’s gone that once was there From silent theft to shattered peace There ain’t no quick and easy release One missed step, one open door… And everything ain’t yours no more ⸻ [Bridge – Breakdown] “Did you lock it?” — “I think I did…” (memory fades… just a little bit 😬) “Did you check?” — “Nah, it’s okay…” (then you wish you had that day…) ⸻ [Breakdown Hook] 🎤 No time, no care, just let it slide Till the consequences step inside ⸻ [Final Chorus – Big Finish] If we lived life that careless way We’d lose a little more each day No rewind when it’s gone too far No fixing what’s already scarred So take that second, turn the key Check it twice for you and me ‘Cause one small miss you let ignore… Might take everything you’re living for ⸻ [Outro – Soft] Yeah the ones who stop… and make sure Are the ones who still feel secure
