Glow No More!

[Intro:]
Life is Rocking
Rocking is Living

[Interlude / Break 1:]
Late train lights, buzzing streets
I’m counting years, between heartbeats

[Verse 1:]
I still remember the first time I get a job
Hands were shaking, name on a clipboard
Cheap shirt, borrowed shoes, big dreams inside
Thought I finally stepped into my life
I still remember the first time I get paid
Staring at the numbers like they would stay
Felt ten feet tall for a moment or two
Like the world finally said, “Welcome to you”

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
But somewhere between the clock and the door
That feeling faded, I don’t feel it anymore

[Chorus 1:]
Now tell me why, why why why
I’m feeling so boring
When everything says I should be fine
I chased the days, I caught the morning
But left some pieces of me behind

[Verse 2:]
I still remember the first time I spent that money
Bought cheap joy, laughed like it was funny
Coffee cups and late-night plans
Trying to live faster than I am
I still remember when it started gaining in number
Watched it climb like a silent wonder
Digits growing, heart standing still
Like happiness forgot where I live

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I checked my balance, checked my phone
Still feeling strangely alone

[Chorus 2:]
So tell me why (why)
That’s not making me happier
When I have more than I did before
I’m richer now but my smile’s lighter
Like I misplaced what I was working for

[Bridge:]
Maybe I mistook survival for a dream
Maybe comfort isn’t what it seems
I built a life that looks okay
But something real keeps slipping away

[Chorus 3:]
Now I know why
I’m feeling so boring
It’s not the money, it’s the time
I was busy just keeping it going
Forgot to ask if I’m alive
I'm alive

[Interlude 2 / Break 2:]
Tick-tock hearts don’t count in cash
Some things break when you move too fast

[Final Chorus:]
Now I know why why why why
Now I know why why why why
Oh now I know why, why why why why why why
Oh now I know (Yeah!) now I know why

[Outro:]
Yeah... the numbers grow, but they don’t glow
Like they used to, like they used to
Oh no no... the numbers grow, but they don’t glow
(Oh no no) oh no no (Oh no no) oh no no (Oh no no) oh no no
And just Rocking till the end

[End]
