Lyrics:
Verse 1
I carry missing pages in a crowded book
A silent shift you’d never see at first look
Behind a steady smile, the currents run deep
Two kinds of trouble learning how to keep
Pre-Chorus
It’s not just one small thing, it’s how they align
A heavier weight when the loss is by design
The kind that echoes through the blood and the mind
Chorus
When the copy breaks, the body keeps score
Heart and habit at the same front door
Anxious nights and numbers climbing up the wall
Find it early—don’t wait for the fall
Verse 2
Not all repeats are equal in the light
The missing parts can hit with more bite
And some of us feel it sharper, more pronounced
Even when the common risks don’t amount
Bridge
So read the signals in the quiet tone
Check the pulse, don’t leave it alone
Mind and metabolism, side by side
One team of care, one steady guide
Final Chorus
When the copy breaks, the body keeps score
Heart and habit at the same front door
Hold the thread—make room for a wider plan
Watch it sooner, catch it while you can
