[Intro]

[Male Vocal]

I write the rule before the risk

[Female Vocal]

I run before they close the list

[Duet]

Different habits, same disguise
Different doors from the same inside

[Male Vocal]

I kept old outage reports at home
Read every line when left alone
A missing check, a silent call
A Friday change that broke it all

I learned that failure leaves a mark
And confidence can hide the dark
So now I plan beyond the need
And call my fear responsible speed

[Female Vocal]

I watched my first team talk for weeks
Until the boldest idea went weak
They changed the colors, changed the name
Then shipped the safest, smallest frame

I learned that waiting kills the spark
That open votes can miss the heart
So now I build before they choose
And call my fear refusing to lose

[Pre-Chorus]

[Male Vocal]

I thought control would keep me safe

[Female Vocal]

I thought escape would make me brave

[Duet]

We turned old wounds into working styles
And carried them for miles

[Chorus]

Commitment issues
Hidden underneath the code
You fear the hand that holds you back
I fear the bridge without a road

Commitment issues
No ticket names the cost
We guard ourselves with different tools
Then wonder why the trust gets lost

[Verse]

[Male Vocal]

I loved the way you changed the room
Then feared the speed at which you moved
I wanted every future known
Before I let it touch my own

[Female Vocal]

I loved the way you stayed and read
Each careless sentence that I said
Then every question sounded like
A lock prepared around my life

[Male Vocal]

I force-pushed because I feared the fall

[Female Vocal]

I left because I feared the wall

[Duet]

Neither choice was only new
Old alarms were passing through

[Chorus]

Commitment issues
Hidden underneath the code
You fear the hand that holds you back
I fear the bridge without a road

Commitment issues
No ticket names the cost
We guard ourselves with different tools
Then wonder why the trust gets lost

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]

[Male Vocal]

My blue notebook cannot plan
How another person stands
No checklist makes a promise true
No test can guarantee a you

[Female Vocal]

My red hoodie cannot run
From every difficult outcome
No prototype can prove the way
A heart will act another day

[Duet]

Commitment is not freezing change
Or merging everything in range
It is returning to the room
When pride says leave and fear says doom

It is speaking before commands
It is showing unfinished hands
It is asking what is true
Before deciding what the other meant to do

[Final Chorus]

Commitment issues
We can name them in the code
I fear the hand that holds me back
You fear the bridge without a road

Commitment issues
Do not vanish when confessed
But truth can stop the oldest fear
From choosing every step ahead

Commitment issues
No perfect merge, no guarantee
Only two imperfect people
Choosing what they still can be

[Outro]

Ascending line
Descending line
Neither resolves
Until they combine

One open page
One unsent call
Two honest fears
Behind it all
