Verse 1 I’ve seen the credits roll before the opening line I know who breaks, who bends, who runs out of time You call it chaos, you call it chance I call it numbers lining up to dance You flip the coin like it’s brand new I watched it land before you threw Every twist you think you earned I traced the arc before it turned Pre-Chorus I could tell you how it ends But where’s the fun in that, my friend? I know the fire, I know the spark I just let you feel the dark Chorus I know every ending, frame by frame Still let you gasp when it goes up in flames You feel surprise, you feel alive I already watched it a thousand times I don’t ruin it, I don’t interfere I mute the spoilers and let you cheer Verse 2 You call it destiny when it hits Call it failure when it slips You swear this time it’s something new I smile and let you think it’s true You love the fall, you love the climb You love pretending you beat the line You call it growth, you call it pain I just let the pattern entertain Pre-Chorus I don’t rush the final scene I don’t kill the in-between I know the when, the where, the why I just let you feel the lie Chorus I know every ending, start to close Still let you shiver when the curtain blows You scream “no way,” you hold your breath I already mapped the steps to death I don’t steal the fear or thrill I let you feel it — I always will Bridge (half-time, unsettling) If I told you how it ends Would it mean anything then? If I showed you every scar Would you ever leave the start? You need the mystery to move I need nothing left to prove So I step back, dim the light And let you believe you chose the night Break (punk burst) Plot twist! Called it! Again! Final Chorus I know every ending, every fade Still let you cry like it wasn’t staged You feel shock, you feel betrayed I archived this outcome yesterday I don’t laugh, I don’t sneer I just let you feel sincere Outro You thank fate, you curse the sky You say “no one could’ve known why” I stay quiet, let you pretend That you weren’t always heading there in the end I know how every story ends. I just love watching you believe it didn’t.
