Lyrics
Forty-five years, and they hand me this watch
It's cold as the nights I worked around the clock
Traded my dreams for titles and pay
Forgot who I was along the way
Now I sit here alone, just me and the tick
Counting each second, it's making me sick
All the dinners I missed, all the nights I stayed late
Now I'm left with this watch and the weight of regret
I was young once, had fire in my chest
Swore I'd be different, never settle for less
But I buried that kid under deadlines and pride
Lost him somewhere, now he's buried inside
Now I sit here alone, just me and the tick
Counting each second, it's making me sick
All the friends that I lost, all the promises broke
This watch in my hand, feels like a cruel joke
There's no grand ending, no ribbon tied neat
Just a man, and his life left incomplete
To anyone listening, don't end it this way
Don't trade your soul for a cold payday
Now I sit here alone, just me and the tick
Counting each second, it's making me sick
Every moment I wasted, each dream I let die
Now all I've got is this watch and a hollow goodbye
Forty-five years, man, they don't give 'em back
And no gold-plated watch can make up for that
Forty-five years, man, they don't give 'em back
And no gold-plated watch can make up for that...
