Verse 1:
I used to wait for you to see
The version of me that no one could be
You looked right through, passed me by
Now your smile says you wonder why
But I’ve changed, turned down the flame
What you remember, isn’t the same
You missed the part when I broke clean
Now I’m the silence you’ve never seen
Chorus:
But now it’s too late, don’t say my name
I’m not the boy who played that game
Whatever chance you think we had
It died in the quiet, and that’s not bad
You didn’t notice, now you can’t fake
What’s gone is gone, it’s too damn late
Verse 2:
You liked your world neat and bright
I lived in corners, out of the light
You needed perfect, polished and proud
I learned to be loud without a sound
Now you’re reaching for something vague
The shadow of me before I escaped
You call it timing, call it fate
But truth just calls it too damn late
Chorus:
But now it’s too late, don’t say my name
I’m not the boy who played that game
Whatever chance you think we had
It died in the quiet, and that’s not bad
You didn’t notice, now you can’t fake
What’s gone is gone, it’s too damn late
Bridge:
I waited in silence, I burned in place
Now there’s nothing left of that old face
No bitterness, no spark to feed
Just ashes where there used to be need
Final Chorus:
It’s too late, don’t chase my ghost
I’m not the version you wanted most
The door’s been locked, the film ran black
You won’t get the old me back
Say what you want, twist it to fate
But either way, it’s far too late
Outro:
No closure, no final scene
Just you watching what might’ve been
I’m gone, and I won’t look back
Some doors close. This one cracke
