Verse 1
Met me at my lowest, thought that was the whole me
Saw the cracks and figured you could hold me
Nah — I held myself through every cold week
You just watched and told me what I told me
Empty? Sure. But empty means there’s room
I filled it up with purpose while you filled a room
With noise, with people, with the same excuse
I filled my pockets quiet — what’s your latest news?
Hook
I was here the whole time, you just never looked
Gave you every sign, you just never took
Now I’m gone like smoke, read me like a book
But the page is blank — yeah, I’m off the hook
Verse 2
See I move like vapor, here and then I’m not
You feel me in the aftermath of everything you got
That flow? I fed it. That bag? I stretched it
That blueprint you been running? Baby I sketched it
But I don’t need the credit, keep the round of applause
I stack in silence, let the absence talk
And when the room get quiet and you feeling the loss
Just know the ghost you made is now the one in charge
Bridge
Poured for the thirstless
Bled for the worthless
Learned that my silence
Is worth more than your service
Not bitter — just finished
Not broken — just pivoted
Every door you shut
Became the one I built in it
Final Hook
I was here the whole time, you just never looked
Gave you every sign, you just never took
Now I’m gone like smoke, read me like a book
But the page is blank — yeah, I’m off the hook
Outro (spoken/low)
And when you see me at the top
Don’t act like you surprised
I been climbing in the dark
You just never opened your eyes
