[Intro – Dark strings + heartbeat bass]
Oh-oh
Yeah
(Too close…)
[Verse 1 faster sung,rap like]
I had your back
when the world turned cold
Spoke your truth when
the lies took hold
Stood in the fire,
carried your name
Took every shot,
took every blame
Trusted you more
than blood in my veins
Gave you my heart, my loyalty, (pain)
Bled for the bond, gave you control
Never thought you’d cut that soul
(Yeah — I gave you my all)
[Pre-Chorus Build / tension rising]
Now I see it clear
(Clear in the smoke)
Every promise you broke
(Every promise you broke)
I was blind, now i see
you mean nothing to me
[Drums building — silence —]
[Chorus (Explosive / Harmonies / Chant Hook]
I called you my brother
I called you my own
Never saw the blade
Guess I stood too close
(Too close)
(Too close)
You crossed the line
Now the line is drawn
You lost my hand
From tonight — you’re gone
Oh-oh
From tonight
( you dont mean nothing at all)
From tonight
[Verse 2 Harder tone / sharper phrasing]
Fought your wars like they were mine
Put my name on your front line
Shielded you from every flame
While you were sharpening
( sharpening the blade)
You turned your back, no words to say
Cold eyes looking the other way
All that trust — (dust in the wind)
That’s where the loyalty ends
[Pre-Chorus 2 (Colder / restrained)]
I carried your weight — I’m letting it drop
I was your defense — now that stops
No more saving you from the fall
No more answering your call
[Bass drop breath]
[Chorus (Bigger / Stacked Vocals]
I called you my brother
I called you my own
Never saw the blade
Guess I stood too close
(Too close)
(Too close)
You crossed the line
Now the line is drawn
You lost my hand
From tonight — you’re gone
Oh-oh
From tonight
( you dont mean nothing at all)
From tonight
[Bridge (Cinematic Breakdown → Beat Drop]
I see the truth — a little too late
But I won’t carry your shame
[No your shame]
You can run, you can hide
You can throw my name in the blame
Doesent matter anyway
Cause i know what you became
[— Beat Drop —]
(I was your shield)
(I was your friend)
(Even after all)
[Big lift on end]
(You betrayed me in the end)
[Final Chorus Dark / Aggressive Lift]
I called you my brother
(Brother)
I called you my own
(My own)
Never saw the blade
Now I stand alone
(Too close)
Yeah — too close
You burned every bridge
Turned loyalty to smoke
You lost my hand
And that’s the last hope
From tonight
From tonight
[Outro Echoed / cinematic]
I won’t fight for you
Won’t cry your name
You made your choice
Now live with the shame
(Now live with the shame)
