Broken Friendship Plea

(Verse 1) Mic check, one two, this ain't a joyful tune Got a weight on my chest, spitting fire beneath the moon Ego took the wheel, pride blinded both my eyes Wrecked the bond we built, left a friendship in demise Said things I shouldn't, lashed out like a rabid beast Words like razor blades, carved a chasm, can't find the least Trace of the homie I used to be, the friend you knew Now I'm just a reflection of the monster I accrue (Chorus) Fist clenched tight, beatin' on my chest, a symphony of shame Words unspoken, gotta own this blame Swallowing my pride, gotta set things straight Crawling back to you, begging for another chance, for fate (Verse 2) Replaying the scene, a broken record on repeat Every harsh syllable, a bitter aftertaste, bittersweet Silence on the other end, deafening, loud and clear The space between us widens, fueled by doubt and fear Pride's a stubborn virus, infected my core But loyalty's the medicine, the cure I can't ignore Gotta swallow this pill, though it tastes like defeat Friendship's worth the battle, gotta crawl back to your feet (Chorus) Fist clenched tight, beatin' on my chest, a symphony of shame Words unspoken, gotta own this blame Swallowing my pride, gotta set things straight Crawling back to you, begging for another chance, for fate (Bridge) Don't expect forgiveness, that's not why I'm here Just gotta confess the darkness, the burden I hold dear You deserve the truth, the weight of my regret Hoping for a sliver of light, a chance to mend, not forget (Chorus) Fist clenched tight, beatin' on my chest, a symphony of shame Words unspoken, gotta own this blame Swallowing my pride, gotta set things straight Crawling back to you, begging for another chance, for fate (Outro) This ain't a melody, it's a broken apology A plea for redemption, a chance to set us free Hope flickers in the distance, a firefly in the night Maybe, just maybe, you'll see the truth in this fight
