[Verse]
Used to shine, glow brighter than the streetlights
Now your eyes dim, shadows in the moonlight
Laugh loud, we’d break the quiet of the night
Now you whisper to ghosts, chasing that first flight
Once a queen, crown tilted with grace
Now the mirror don’t even recognize your face
Pulled by the tide, drowning in the waves
Fentanyl chains, pulling you to the grave
[Chorus]
You beat it once, do it again
I miss who you were, my friend
The girl who’d dance in the pouring rain
Not this shell that’s consumed by pain
[Verse 2]
We used to dream, talk of stars and fame
Now your words slur, every thought the same
Pockets full of poison, veins running flame
Beautiful soul, now caught in the game
Told you I’d stay, no matter the weather
But I can’t lie, it’s hard to hold you together
You’re here but gone, like a bird with clipped feathers
Miss the jokes, the smiles, the endless endeavors
[Chorus]
You beat it once, do it again
I miss who you were, my friend
The girl who’d sing with no refrain
Not this shadow bound in chains
