Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I thought I knew, but this world isn’t kind
You raise a little hope, then it changes its mind
I built you up with my hands and my name
Taught you how to stand, watched you walk through the flame
You took every lesson and sharpened the blame
Turned the family table into a courtroom game
Now you call me crazy when I ask where you’ve been
But the mirror keeps receipts for the shape you’re in
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you a roof, gave you room to become
You paid me back with a mouth full of drums
Not every wound needs a winner or war
Still I’m counting what I should’ve ignored
[Chorus]
Leave the family name out your mouth tonight
You can’t burn every bridge and call the smoke your light
I made you from the pieces I could save
Now I’m standing at the grave of the faith I gave
And when the room gets quiet, you’ll remember the cost
Every door that you slammed, every person you lost
You’ll say you were young, you’ll say you were hurt
But regret comes dressed in the clothes of the dirt
[Verse 2]
I know the world is rough, I know people get cold
But pain isn’t a passport to do what you’re told
You wore your bad choices like a crown in the street
Then came home expecting mercy under your feet
I heard the things you said, I saw the lines that you crossed
You made love sound cheap, made loyalty lost
Maybe I was blind, maybe pride ran the show
Maybe I kept watering a garden that wouldn’t grow
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you a chance, then another, then more
Till forgiveness was sleeping outside of the door
If I sound crazy, let the truth make the sound
You can’t blame every wreck on the people around
[Chorus]
Leave the family name out your mouth tonight
You can’t burn every bridge and call the smoke your light
I made you from the pieces I could save
Now I’m standing at the grave of the faith I gave
And when the room gets quiet, you’ll remember the cost
Every door that you slammed, every person you lost
You’ll say you were young, you’ll say you were hurt
But regret comes dressed in the clothes of the dirt
[Bridge]
One day you’ll find the old house in your head
Every promise you buried, every word left unsaid
No crowd, no excuse, no hand to accuse
Just the shape of the life that you chose to lose
I won’t chase you down, I won’t beg you to stay
Some lessons arrive when the love walks away
If you ever come back, come back carrying truth
Not another disguise for the damage you do
[Final Chorus]
Leave the family name out your mouth tonight
Let the silence tell you what I couldn’t make right
I built you up, but I can’t make you change
I’m releasing what remains from the wreckage and shame
And when the room gets quiet, you’ll remember the cost
Every door that you slammed, every person you lost
You’ll say you were young, you’ll say you were hurt
But regret comes dressed in the clothes of the dirt
[Outro]
I thought I knew, but I know now for sure
Some hearts want a home, some hearts want a war
I gave what I had, let the rest hit the floor
No more family names at the edge of your door

dark alternative hip-hop, midtempo minor-key groove, intimate male rap-sung delivery, sparse piano and muted guitar plucks in the verses, deep restrained bass, dry close vocal with subtle room ambience, chorus opens into wider drums and layered harmonies, final bridge strips back before a heavy reflective outro, cinematic but grounded mix
