[Verse 1] The house still stands. The dog still sleeps by the door. The kettle still boils. The kids still leave lights on. [Piano Motif] From the outside you’d struggle to spot it. [BREAK] But the life I knew is gone. ⸻ [Verse 2 - Spoken] I lied. Then I lied about the lie. [Piano] And somewhere in the middle I stopped recognising myself. [BREAK] Not all at once. Just little pieces. Coming loose. ⸻ [Chorus - Sung] Broken. Broken. [Piano + Cello] Everything I built is broken. [BREAK] Broken. Broken. And nobody broke it but me. ⸻ [Verse 3 - Spoken] The kids are angry. And honestly… they should be. [Piano Motif] I used to be the answer. Now I’m the question nobody wants to ask. [BREAK] That one’s hard to sit with. ⸻ [Verse 4 - Spoken] And she’s sad. Not shouting. Not arguing. [Piano] Just carrying around a disappointment too heavy for words. [BREAK] I’d almost prefer shouting. ⸻ [Bridge - Spoken] I keep walking through the same rooms. [LONG BREAK] Same walls. Same furniture. Same photographs. [BREAK] Like a ghost visiting his own life. ⸻ [Build] Morning becomes afternoon. Afternoon becomes evening. [Piano + Strings] Days keep moving. Calendars keep turning. [BREAK] The world carries on. [BREAK] We don’t. ⸻ [Final Chorus] Broken. Broken. [Piano + Full Strings] The future I imagined is broken. [BREAK] Broken. Broken. The man I thought I was is broken. [BREAK] And every road leads back to the same truth. ⸻ [Outro - Spoken] Funny thing about endings. [Piano] Nobody announces them. [LONG BREAK] One day you’re living your life. [BREAK] The next day you’re remembering it. [FADE] And that’s when I knew. The life as I knew it was over.
