Verse 1 Bye week quiet hit different No pads popping, no crowd noise Just too much time and a buzzing phone Too many options, not enough poise Team gone home, campus empty Bars still full of bad advice Discipline strong when I’m busy But idle hands get curious at night She back home, hours away Text tone colder every day I say I’m focused, say I’m locked But silence talking louder than faith ⸻ Pre-Chorus Funny how temptation loud When accountability gone No film room, no whistle Just me and what I want ⸻ Chorus Bye week, bad decisions Too much time, not enough supervision I ain’t doing wrong, but I ain’t clean I’m dancing close to shit I shouldn’t be No cameras, no crowd opinion Just impulses and bad intentions I tell myself I got control But bye weeks expose your soul ⸻ Verse 2 Old numbers lighting up my phone Girls I never really shut down They heard my name on Saturday Now they back like I ain’t grown One drink turn into two Two turn into “why not me?” I don’t cross lines, but I flirt with ‘em That still feel like betrayal to me Ashley call late, I let it ring Tell myself I’ll call her back Truth is I don’t wanna explain Why I sound like I’m off track ⸻ Pre-Chorus They say temptation ain’t cheating Till you give it a place to live I ain’t crossed it—but I leaned And leaning still counts in this ⸻ Chorus Bye week, bad decisions Space between us changing vision I ain’t breaking vows, but damn I ain’t standing where I should be standing No lights, no supervision Just pressure looking for permission I tell myself I got control But bye weeks expose your soul ⸻ Bridge Pressure don’t sleep, it waits Till you think you safe Till discipline get bored And desire start talking brave Legends don’t fall on Saturdays They fall when nobody’s watching One inch at a time, slow drift That’s how you lose what you promised ⸻ Final Chorus Bye week, bad decisions Ain’t no ref to throw a flag on me Just mirrors and memories Of who I said I’d be I ain’t gone yet, I ain’t lost But I’m closer than I wanna be Yeah, bye weeks don’t ruin seasons They just show you the real you, honestly ⸻ Outro (Phone buzzes. Long pause.) Yeah… I should probably call her.
