**Verse 1** Somebody found the shortcut, nobody built it on purpose A default left open, a gate with a loose surface I go back through the logs, retrace the steps they took Find the exact moment the easy path got took **Pre-Chorus** Not chasing 'em after the damage is done I'm upstream, where the whole thing begun **Chorus** I make the safe way the easy way to choose Redesign the flow before there's something to lose Friction where it matters, nowhere it don't Measure what really changed, not just what we caught No roadmap of my own, just the trust that I've built To get it prioritized without a bit of guilt **Verse 2** Interview the support team, reconstruct the trail Find the spot in the journey where good intentions fail Rate limits, approval steps, a verification gate Small design decisions carry so much weight **Pre-Chorus** Not chasing 'em after the damage is done I'm upstream, where the whole thing begun **Chorus** I make the safe way the easy way to choose Redesign the flow before there's something to lose Friction where it matters, nowhere it don't Measure what really changed, not just what we caught No roadmap of my own, just the trust that I've built To get it prioritized without a bit of guilt **Bridge** After the incident, I ask one thing — What about the design made this easy to begin Turn the answer into something we can build Not a lesson learned and shelved, but a backlog filled **Outro** No alarm, no headline, no single heroic save Just a thousand quiet redesigns along the way That's the job — make the hard thing hard to do And the safe thing so easy, nobody thinks it through
