Verse 1

We was kids running through backyards
Hopping fences, leaving scars
Didn’t think about tomorrow
We was just trying to go hard

Fights in the street, laughing it off
You’d swing first, I’d back you up
We was dumb, but we was us
Never thought that’d be enough

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Then you changed, I stayed around
Heard your name in different crowds
Tried to reach but you was gone
I just let that shit die down

⸻

Chorus (simple, raw, repetitive)

I should’ve called you one more time
I should’ve checked if you was alright
Now I’m sitting here like why
Did I let that moment slide

I should’ve said what’s on my mind
Told you everything was fine
Now I’m stuck with all these nights
Thinking I could’ve saved your life

⸻

Verse 2

Then you hit me like “what’s good?”
Pulled up, felt just like it should
Same jokes, same old vibe
Like we never said goodbye

We was talking like before
Like you never left at all
If I knew that was the last
I would’ve never let you walk

⸻

Bridge (low, almost whisper)

Now it’s quiet where you used to be
Sometimes that shit don’t feel real to me
Everybody moved on slowly
But that night still got a hold of me

⸻

Final Chorus (more pain)

I should’ve called you one more time
I should’ve checked if you was alright
Now I’m sitting here like why
Did I let that moment slide

I should’ve called you one more time
I should’ve checked if you was alright
Now I’m sitting here like why
Did I let that moment slide

⸻

Outro (voice fading)

Yeah…
I just wish I knew…
