[Intro – half-spoken, almost ironic tone]
Funny thing is…
Everyone had something to say after
⸻
[Verse 1 – observational, slightly playful edge]
Now they’re posting “rest in peace”
Like they ever checked on her
Writing captions underneath
Like they really knew her world
“Such a light”, “gone too soon”
Yeah, the usual lines
Funny how the loudest voices
Never spoke to her in life
Now it’s “if you need me, I’m here”
But where was that before?
When she walked past every day
Barely noticed anymore
It’s a strange kind of pattern
How it always plays out
You don’t see ‘em when they’re breaking
Only hear ‘em when they’re out
⸻
[Hook – catchy but dark]
Now they say her name out loud
Like it means something now
But it’s too late
It’s too late
Yeah they say her name again
Like they knew her back then
But it’s too late
It’s too late
⸻
[Verse 2 – deeper, still rhythmic]
News spread faster than the truth
Now everybody’s got a view
Suddenly they’re all connected
To a life they never knew
“They seemed fine” — yeah, that line
Gets repeated every time
Like pain’s supposed to show itself
In ways you recognise
You ever notice how we wait
Till it’s already gone
To start caring ‘bout the person
We ignored for so long?
It’s uncomfortable, I get it
So we dress it up instead
Turn it into something softer
So it’s easier to accept
⸻
[Bridge – playful shift, then drop]
(slight bounce in delivery)
Say a prayer, post a quote
Light a candle, share a note
(beat drops slightly)
But none of that was there
When she needed it the most
⸻
[Verse 3 – emotional peak]
There’s a box of things she left behind
Words she never said
Thoughts she couldn’t give away
Still living in her head
And now they read like echoes
Of a voice no one heard
Every line a quiet scream
In the form of written words
And it’s heavy when you realise
It didn’t have to end
If just one person noticed
Instead of just pretending
⸻
[Final Hook – stronger, layered]
Now they say her name out loud
Like it means something now
But it’s too late
It’s too late
Yeah they say her name again
Like they knew her back then
But it’s too late
It’s too late
⸻
[Outro – quiet, reflective]
Funny how it works…
