Verse 1

It started as a passing thought,

Nothing sharp, nothing loud.

Just something I noticed in the moment

And didn’t say out loud.

Inner Voice [quick]

You should’ve said it right there.

Other Voice [steady]

You didn’t have enough information.

Pre-Chorus

Now it’s been an hour,

And it’s still here.

Chorus

I thought about it too long,

Now it feels important.

Every angle sounds convincing

When you run it over and over.

I thought about it too long,

Let it take its shape.

Some thoughts grow teeth

If you—

—don’t let them fade.

Verse 2

I replayed the tone, the timing,

The look that crossed your face.

Was it nothing, was it something,

Was it just misplaced?

Inner Voice

It meant something.

Other Voice

It might’ve just been a day.

Pre-Chorus

Hard to tell the difference

After midnight.

Chorus

I thought about it too long,

Now it won’t stay small.

What could’ve stayed a sentence

Feels like a wall.

I thought about it too long,

Gave it more than it earned.

Some fires start quietly

If—

—you let them burn.

Bridge

I don’t need answers,

I need a stop sign.

Not everything that lingers

Is worth my time.

Final Chorus

I thought about it too long,

Now I see it clear.

It wasn’t the thought that hurt me —

It was keeping it here.

I thought about it too long,

That’s how it goes.

Some things only feel heavy

When—

—you hold them close.

Outro

Tomorrow it might be nothing.

Tonight it’s loud.
