Verse 1
Every second ticking, hear the wristwatch preach
Time ain’t loyal, it don’t practice patience with me
Once it’s gone, yeah, it’s gone for good
No rewind button in the neighborhood
So I move like tonight might be curtains
Say what I feel, leave nothing uncertain
‘Cause regrets grow teeth when you let ’em sit
And tomorrow’s a myth we keep betting with
So I love out loud, no holding back
Give my all to the grind, leave no soul attached
If this breath was my last, I ain’t leaving mid-scene
I’ma bow with pride when they cut the screen
(pause pocket)
Yeah… no reset
---
Hook (catchy and punchy)
Life is a stage, we just act in roles (uh)
Readin’ our lines till the curtain close (yeah)
Spotlight flash, then the lights go dead (go)
One minute here, next minute said
No encore, no “run that back” (nah)
Before you blink, it’s a fade to black
Say it now, don’t wait, don’t guess
‘Cause the only exit… stage left (stage left)
---
Verse 2
Still regret some words I let fly
Anger in my chest, couldn’t tell it was goodbye
Sent sharp sentences I can’t retrieve
Didn’t know my mouth could make scars that deep
Pride too loud, ego too strong
Apologies came when the moment was gone
Lost someone quick, no time to prepare
Still got conversations hanging in the air
Wish I said “I love you” a little more
Wish I showed up instead of chasing tours
Now I talk to the ceiling when the night get cold
Hoping heaven got better reception for souls
And I know my name gon’ get called someday (yeah)
Another actor with a closing play
So I speak more gentle, live more right
When I exit the stage, I’m at peace with the light
(slow pocket)
No regrets… just truth
---
Hook (Repeat – bigger energy)
Life is a stage, we just act in roles (uh)
Readin’ our lines till the curtain close (yeah)
Spotlight flash, then the lights go dead (go)
One minute here, next minute said
No encore, no “run that back” (nah)
Before you blink, it’s a fade to black
Say it now, don’t wait, don’t guess
‘Cause the only exit… stage left (stage left)
---
Outro (spoken / half-sung)
No save files… no replay
So if you feel it, say it today
Flowers don’t belong on graves
Give ’em now… before exit stage left
