Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left the door half-open Cold air on my skin Same old look, same old promise Same old place I’ve been You say it like it fixes it But I still taste the bruise I’m done with the pretty version Done with the same excuse [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain Look at me If you mean it, mean it I’m not here For almost I need more than repeating [Chorus] Don’t be sorry Be better Say it once, then do it right Don’t be sorry Be better Meet me there in the hard part of the night Be better (be better) Be better (be better) I’m not asking for forever Don’t be sorry Be better [Verse 2] I watched your words fall easy Like coins on a floor Pretty and loud for a second Then they rolled to the door I held the line too long, babe Kept the peace, kept score Now I want the truth in your hands Not a maybe anymore [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain Look at me If you mean it, mean it I’m not here For almost I need more than repeating [Chorus] Don’t be sorry Be better Say it once, then do it right Don’t be sorry Be better Meet me there in the hard part of the night Be better (be better) Be better (be better) I’m not asking for forever Don’t be sorry Be better [Bridge] Less talk More truth Show me change I can hold One step Then two Make the broken parts unfold If you want me here Then come back different Come back real Come back different [Chorus] Don’t be sorry Be better Say it once, then do it right Don’t be sorry Be better Meet me there in the hard part of the night Be better (be better) Be better (be better) I’m not asking for forever Don’t be sorry Be better

Pop anthem with mid-tempo four-on-the-floor pulse, tight syncopated clap pattern, and rising pre-chorus tension; verse rides sparse kick, snapped fingers, and muted bass; chorus opens with stacked gang vocals and wide synth lift; bridge drops to half-time with a filtered vocal lead then final chorus adds octave doubles and handclaps. Close-mic lead vocal, confident and intimate, with delay throws on the hook phrase, tape-stop swells into transitions, and a bright punchy mix with glossy top end.
