[Verse 1] Streetlight flickers like it knows what’s coming next, Cold rain dripping down the collar of my vest. Footsteps echo on the pavement like a warning in my ear, But I kept walking toward the shadow I should’ve feared. [Pre-Chorus] Breath held tight in a throat full of doubt, Heart beating slow like it’s trying to back out. [Chorus] As I hear the bang, smell the gunpowder, I knew it was too late because the bullet has already left the gun. There’s no mercy in the moment when the damage has begun. You can pray, you can run, but the bullet has already left the gun. [Verse 2] Your eyes were hollow—something broken, something gone, Like your soul stepped out and left your body hanging on. I saw the tremble in your hands, the storm behind your stare, But the night was hungry, and it didn’t even care. [Pre-Chorus] I whispered your name, but the dark swallowed it whole, And the world held its breath for the last beat of your control. [Chorus] As I hear the bang, smell the gunpowder, I knew it was too late because the bullet has already left the gun. Not an angel, not a devil could undo what you had done— The truth hits harder when the bullet has already left the gun. [Bridge] Silence grows violent when the echoes fade, Nothing left but shadows in the shape of your mistakes. If regret was a river, you’d drown before you’d run, But there’s no turning tides once the bullet leaves the gun. [Breakdown] The smoke curls slow like it’s savoring the scene, A memory carved in metal, sharp and unclean. No scream, no plea, no promise left to make— Just the cost we never counted And the lives we couldn’t save. [Final Chorus] As I hear the bang, smell the gunpowder, I knew it was too late because the bullet has already left the gun. You can beg the night for mercy, but the night won’t give you none— ’Cause the moment fate is chosen, The bullet has already left the gun.
