[Intro] I know you’re here—I feel the cold I see the shadows take their hold I’m not asking you to leave Just listen while I try to breathe [Verse 1] I wasted time on things that fade Chased the noise, ignored the ache I broke the hearts that tried to stay Then cursed the ones who walked away I lied to keep myself intact Then drowned in truths I never tracked I thought I’d change before the end But now I’m here with nothing left to defend [Hook] This is the life I never lived Built from the pieces I couldn’t give I stayed quiet when I should’ve screamed I played safe when I should’ve dreamed I’m not asking for a second chance Just a moment to make it make sense You don’t owe me anything But I had more than I let in [Verse 2] I saw the crash before it came Still pressed the gas, ignored the flame I let the silence fill my chest And called it peace when it was stress I watched the stars and missed the sky Said I was fine, lived a lie I thought regret would fade with time But it’s louder now that I’m out of line [Hook] This is the life I never lived Built from the pieces I couldn’t give I stayed quiet when I should’ve screamed I played safe when I should’ve dreamed I’m not asking for a second chance Just a moment to make it make sense You don’t owe me anything But I had more than I let in [Bridge] If you can hear me, don’t reply Just let me speak before goodbye I’m not afraid of what comes next I’m afraid of what I left unchecked I don’t need light, I don’t need grace Just a place to leave this trace If I fade, let it be known I confessed before I was gone [Outro Hook] This is the life I never lived Built from the pieces I couldn’t give I stayed quiet when I should’ve screamed I played safe when I should’ve dreamed I’m not asking for a second chance Just a moment to make it make sense You don’t owe me anything But I had more than I let in
