Half the View

[Verse 1]
Clocked in early
Coffee stain on my sleeve
Same old hallway
Didn’t know what it would leave
One wrong moment
Metal flew
And then it’s dark
On my left side
Like someone blew out half a star
[Chorus]
Now I’ve got half the view
But I still see the truth
It wasn’t on me
I was just doing what I do
Yeah
I’ve got half the view
But I’m not losing you
The part of me they couldn’t take
Is the part that pulls me through
[Verse 2]
Cold blue waiting room
Buzzing lights and plastic chairs
Nurses saying my name
Trying hard not to stare
Signed too many papers
Everyone washing their hands
But I remember
Every second where I stand
[Chorus]
Now I’ve got half the view
But I still see the truth
It wasn’t on me
I was just doing what I do
Yeah
I’ve got half the view
But I’m not losing you
The part of me they couldn’t take
Is the part that pulls me through
[Bridge]
Some days I reach for what’s gone (oh)
Turn my head like it’ll turn back on
But you touch my scar and say
“You’re still you
You’re still okay”
[Chorus]
I’ve got half the view
But I still see the truth
It wasn’t on me
I was just doing what I do
Yeah
I’ve got half the view
But I’m not losing you
They dimmed a side of what I see
But they couldn’t touch my heart in me (hey)
[Outro]
Clock out slowly
Step out into the blue
Close my right eye
And I still picture you

folk, Intimate pop ballad over warm acoustic guitar, soft kick and brushed snare; male vocals up close and confessional. Verses stay hushed with fingerpicked patterns and subtle room reverb; chorus blooms with strummed chords, airy harmonies, and a gentle bass swell. Bridge strips back to almost solo vocal before final chorus lifts with stacked ad-libs and a brighter acoustic texture., acoustic, pop
