Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Piano only] Soon as I get home… First thing I do… Is loosen my tie. That’s when the real day starts. ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 Keys on the table, jacket on the chair, Whole house quiet, nobody there. I pour a drink but I don’t turn the lights, I sit in the dark sometimes at night. Cause all day long I play that role, The calm, cool man that’s in control. But in this room I don’t have to pretend… I can just be him. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 When I loosen my tie, I finally breathe. Ain’t nobody here Expecting me to be anything. When I loosen my tie, I put the world down. That gentleman everybody loves… Ain’t around. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 I look in the mirror and I see my face, Same calm man in a different place. But the eyes looking back at me… Look tired honestly. I don’t regret the man I am, But sometimes I just want someone… Who don’t need me to be so strong, Who just let me be wrong. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 When I loosen my tie, I finally breathe. Ain’t nobody here Expecting me to be anything. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Soft, emotional] 🎶 I don’t want to be impressive… I just want to be loved. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Verse] 🎶 So I hang that suit up nice and neat, Same way I fold up every week. And I sit down on the side of the bed… And finally get to be the man in my head. 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Piano fading] Yeah… The world knows the gentleman. Only this room knows the man.
