Last-Minute Changes

[Verse 1] In the quiet of the night, my code was running fine, Spent countless hours, every bug, every line, But then they came, with changes unforeseen, Last-minute requests, tearing at the seam. [Pre-Chorus] Deadlines looming, pressure rising high, As I stare at the screen, I can't help but sigh, They don't see the strain, the toll it takes, On this fragile system, on these hands that ache. [Chorus] Why do they change it now, when we're so close? In this endless cycle, it's me who hurts the most, Promises broken, and dreams left to fade, In the last-minute changes, we're the ones betrayed. [Verse 2] Features added, plans rearranged, Every line rewritten, everything's changed, Scope creeping in, as the hours fly by, In this code’s silent cry, I hear my own sigh. [Pre-Chorus] Late-night meetings, demands so high, Every new requirement, makes me question why, They don’t understand, the cost we pay, In the shadows we toil, night turns to day. [Chorus] Why do they change it now, when we're so close? In this endless cycle, it's me who hurts the most, Promises broken, and dreams left to fade, In the last-minute changes, we're the ones betrayed. [Bridge] I dream of a world, where plans are kept, Where every promise, is one we’ve met, But in this reality, we fight the tide, With every change, a piece of us dies. [Chorus] Why do they change it now, when we're so close? In this endless cycle, it's me who hurts the most, Promises broken, and dreams left to fade, In the last-minute changes, we're the ones betrayed. [Outro] In the glow of the screen, I feel the weight, Of every decision, made too late, But in my heart, I hold a spark, That one day we'll find, a way out of the dark.
