Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the quiet of the night, my code was running fine,
Spent countless hours, every bug, every line,
But then they came, with changes unforeseen,
Last-minute requests, tearing at the seam.
[Pre-Chorus]
Deadlines looming, pressure rising high,
As I stare at the screen, I can't help but sigh,
They don't see the strain, the toll it takes,
On this fragile system, on these hands that ache.
[Chorus]
Why do they change it now, when we're so close?
In this endless cycle, it's me who hurts the most,
Promises broken, and dreams left to fade,
In the last-minute changes, we're the ones betrayed.
[Verse 2]
Features added, plans rearranged,
Every line rewritten, everything's changed,
Scope creeping in, as the hours fly by,
In this code’s silent cry, I hear my own sigh.
[Pre-Chorus]
Late-night meetings, demands so high,
Every new requirement, makes me question why,
They don’t understand, the cost we pay,
In the shadows we toil, night turns to day.
[Chorus]
Why do they change it now, when we're so close?
In this endless cycle, it's me who hurts the most,
Promises broken, and dreams left to fade,
In the last-minute changes, we're the ones betrayed.
[Bridge]
I dream of a world, where plans are kept,
Where every promise, is one we’ve met,
But in this reality, we fight the tide,
With every change, a piece of us dies.
[Chorus]
Why do they change it now, when we're so close?
In this endless cycle, it's me who hurts the most,
Promises broken, and dreams left to fade,
In the last-minute changes, we're the ones betrayed.
[Outro]
In the glow of the screen, I feel the weight,
Of every decision, made too late,
But in my heart, I hold a spark,
That one day we'll find, a way out of the dark.
