Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
[rap] It all starts with a promise, a vow I couldn't keep
The debt kept stacking up while everyone else was asleep
I watched the sun go down, just staring at the clock
The second hand kept ticking, building a heavy block
I tried to hold onto fragments, to pieces of the past
Didn't even know the moment, moving way too fast
Wasted all my patience just to watch the chance fade out
I kept it all inside, buried deep beneath the doubt
Chorus
[n.n] And in the end, it never mattered how hard I tried
I chased the empty feeling, nowhere left to hide
I put my trust in promises I knew would break the chain
All my efforts were just drops falling in the pouring rain
Verse 2
[rap] I designed this whole scenario just to remind myself
How I fought so hard, ignored everything on the shelf
You acted like you owned me, took all my time for granted
Remembering the battles, the seeds of doubt you planted
Now things are not the way they used to look before
I wouldn't even recognize this empty space anymore
I thought I had you back then, but it always comes back to me
Everything I tried to build will soon be just a memory
Chorus
[n.n] And in the end, it never mattered how hard I tried
I chased the empty feeling, nowhere left to hide
I put my trust in promises I knew would break the chain
All my efforts were just drops falling in the pouring rain
Bridge
[n.n] I gave it all for nothing, I gave it all away
There's only one thing I wish I could say...
Outro
[CLEAN VOCALS] It never mattered...
