[Verse] Pavement glow under streetlamp gold, dice clackin’ slow, a whispered hold. You said "wait" when I reached too fast, learned my pride in a game that passed. [Pre-Chorus] Each tile a memory, each move a test, I thought I knew the odds, I wasn’t blessed. [Chorus] But the board don’t lie, no, it don’t lie, every win’s a lesson, every loss, a sigh. Hands steady in the quiet, mind full of pride, you play the game with eyes that hide. And the night’s too long, and the stakes too high, but I’m still learning how to say goodbye. [Verse] You played with grace, no need to boast, moved like shadow, never lost. I thought my turn would change the score, but the board just smiled, and let me pour. [Pre-Chorus] Each tile a story, each silence a plea, you taught me grace, and how to be free. [Chorus] But the board don’t lie, no, it don’t lie, every win’s a lesson, every loss, a sigh. Hands steady in the quiet, mind full of pride, you play the game with eyes that hide. And the night’s too long, and the stakes too high, but I’m still learning how to say goodbye. [Bridge] Now the tiles are gone, just dust on stone, but I still hear the echoes in my bones. The pride you left wasn’t loud or bold— it was in how you let the game unfold. [Chorus] But the board don’t lie, no, it don’t lie, every win’s a lesson, every loss, a sigh. Hands steady in the quiet, mind full of pride, you play the game with eyes that hide. And the night’s too long, and the stakes too high, but I’m still learning how to say goodbye. [Outro] Say goodbye... Say goodbye... Say goodbye.
