Lyrics
“Nothing Extra”
Verse 1
I used to talk in borrowed lines,
Trying to sound like someone whole.
A little truth with polished shine,
A little mask to please a role.
But something broke the other day,
A silence cut the script in two—
And what came out surprised me more
Than anything I meant to do.
Chorus
Nothing extra, nothing staged,
Just a breath that slipped out clear.
Not the story, not the age,
Not the “me” I thought was here.
Just the wind across my skin,
Just the moment speaking through—
Nothing extra, nothing staged,
Just the honest coming true.
Verse 2
I met a friend I used to hide
Behind my practiced gentle tone.
But when he asked, “You doing fine?”
The old rehearsals stayed at home.
I felt the day inside my chest—
The tired hope, the quiet ache—
And answered like the sky does rain,
With nothing left to fabricate.
Chorus
Nothing extra, nothing staged,
Just a breath that slipped out clear.
Not the story, not the age,
Not the “me” I thought was here.
Just the wind across my skin,
Just the moment speaking through—
Nothing extra, nothing staged,
Just the honest coming true.
Bridge
And I still forget, I still pretend,
Fall back to versions made of fear.
But then the old disguise won’t fit,
And truth steps out without veneer.
It’s not confession, not a claim—
Just the absence of the pose.
A simple line that stands alone,
With nothing needing to be chose.
Verse 3
So here I am, unpolished words,
A quiet heart without a script.
The world is soft when nothing’s forced,
And all the names can just be stripped.
A life without the armour plates,
A voice without the crafted vow—
I never thought I’d feel so free
By only speaking what is now.
Final Chorus
Nothing extra, nothing staged,
Just a breath that slipped out clear.
Not the story, not the age,
Not the “me” I thought was here.
Just the wind across my skin,
Just the moment speaking through—
Nothing extra, nothing staged,
Just the honest coming true.
Yeah, nothing extra, nothing staged—
Just the heart, uncovered, new.
