Intro (spoken / filtered)
Four years…
And I still reach for my phone like you might answer.
Guess I just needed one more minute.
Verse 1 (rap)
I still hear your voice in the back of my head,
Telling me “keep going” when I’m stuck in my bed.
World kept spinning, but mine slowed down,
Smile on my face, but I’m barely around.
They say time heals, but it just numbs the pain,
Like I learned how to walk with these invisible chains.
Every milestone feels hollow inside,
‘Cause the one I’d tell first ain’t here to reply.
I replay old memories just to feel close,
Laughs in the kitchen, stupid jokes we both know.
Now the house feels colder, silence too loud,
I talk to the air like you’re standing around.
Pre-Chorus (half-sung)
I’d trade all my pride, every breath I breathe,
Just to hear you say you still believe in me.
Chorus (rock / melodic, emotional)
I’d give anything for one more chance,
One more talk, one more glance.
I’d burn the years, I’d break the rules,
Just to sit in that room with you.
I’m still fighting demons you’ll never see,
Trying to be the man you wanted me to be.
I don’t need forever, I don’t need it all—
Just one more minute, one more call.
Verse 2 (rap, darker)
Depression hits harder when the nights get long,
When the world feels right but something’s wrong.
I carry your name like a weight on my chest,
Trying not to drown, trying my best.
They don’t see the battles I fight alone,
Or how much strength it takes just to make it home.
I learned how to smile, learned how to lie,
Say “I’m good” while I’m dying inside.
I wonder if you see me, wherever you are,
If you’re proud of the scars, or how far I’ve come.
Some days I’m strong, some days I fall,
Some days I just miss you… that’s all.
Bridge (breakdown – screamed or gritty vocal)
I’d scream your name if it brought you back,
I’d relive the pain, I’d take that path.
If heaven’s real, man, I hope you know—
There’s so much I still needed you for.
Chorus (bigger, full band)
I’d give anything for one more chance,
One more talk, one more glance.
I’d burn the years, I’d break the rules,
Just to sit in that room with you.
I’m still fighting demons you’ll never see,
Trying to be the man you wanted me to be.
I don’t need forever, I don’t need it all—
Just one more minute, one more call.
Outro (soft / spoken)
If I ever make it where I’m trying to go…
I hope you’re watching.
I hope you know I never stopped needing you.
