Lyrics

Verse 1
She woke up late in a quiet room
Sunlight standing still
No meetings waiting, no deadlines due
No mountain left to climb or hill
The walls are clean, the shelves are bare
Awards lined up in a row
She gave her best years everywhere
Except the place she never went to know

Verse 2
She remembers saying, “Someday soon
When love came knocking twice
There was always one more rung to reach
One more sacrifice
She wore ambition like a crown
Never let it slip or bend
Didn’t hear the ticking sound
Of doors that don’t reopen again

Chorus
Now the house just listens when she breathes
Every clock is loud at night
She’s got freedom, she’s got everything
But no small hands to hold her tight
Success looks different in this light
When the cheering’s done and the stage is gone
She won the race, she crossed the line
But she ran it all alone

[Solo]

Verse 3
Photos hold no birthdays past
No scraped-up knees or smiles
No echoes of a younger laugh
Running reckless down the halls
Friends are busy with their own
Grandkids calling, lives in bloom
She sets the table just for one
And eats her dinner with the moon

Verse 4
She don’t curse the road she chose
It made her strong, it made her stand
But strength can feel like heavy stone
When there’s no one left to hold your hand
She wonders who’ll say her name
When her own voice disappears
Who will carry her forward
Through the long and quiet years

Chorus
Now the house just listens when she breathes
Every clock is loud at night
She’s got freedom, she’s got everything
But no small hands to hold her tight
Success looks different in this light
When the cheering’s done and the stage is gone
She won the race, she crossed the line
But she ran it all alone

[Solo]

Outro
If time could bend, she wouldn’t erase
The woman she fought to be
She’d just leave a little open space
For love and family
So the silence wouldn’t know her name
So the nights wouldn’t feel so long
A life well lived, but quietly
She wonders what went wrong
