Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Mic check, one two, this ain't a joyful tune
Got a weight on my chest, spitting fire beneath the moon
Ego took the wheel, pride blinded both my eyes
Wrecked the bond we built, left a friendship in demise
Said things I shouldn't, lashed out like a rabid beast
Words like razor blades, carved a chasm, can't find the least
Trace of the homie I used to be, the friend you knew
Now I'm just a reflection of the monster I accrue
(Chorus)
Fist clenched tight, beatin' on my chest, a symphony of shame
Words unspoken, gotta own this blame
Swallowing my pride, gotta set things straight
Crawling back to you, begging for another chance, for fate
(Verse 2)
Replaying the scene, a broken record on repeat
Every harsh syllable, a bitter aftertaste, bittersweet
Silence on the other end, deafening, loud and clear
The space between us widens, fueled by doubt and fear
Pride's a stubborn virus, infected my core
But loyalty's the medicine, the cure I can't ignore
Gotta swallow this pill, though it tastes like defeat
Friendship's worth the battle, gotta crawl back to your feet
(Chorus)
Fist clenched tight, beatin' on my chest, a symphony of shame
Words unspoken, gotta own this blame
Swallowing my pride, gotta set things straight
Crawling back to you, begging for another chance, for fate
(Bridge)
Don't expect forgiveness, that's not why I'm here
Just gotta confess the darkness, the burden I hold dear
You deserve the truth, the weight of my regret
Hoping for a sliver of light, a chance to mend, not forget
(Chorus)
Fist clenched tight, beatin' on my chest, a symphony of shame
Words unspoken, gotta own this blame
Swallowing my pride, gotta set things straight
Crawling back to you, begging for another chance, for fate
(Outro)
This ain't a melody, it's a broken apology
A plea for redemption, a chance to set us free
Hope flickers in the distance, a firefly in the night
Maybe, just maybe, you'll see the truth in this fight
