Lyrics

(Yeah… ohhh…)

Thirteen years, gone in a moment…

Mmmh… how could you turn so cold?

(So cold… yeah, yeah…)

I gave you my time, I gave you my youth

Every late night, chasing your truth

Built your dreams while I buried mine

But loyalty don’t pay when it’s signing time

(Ohh… 13 years…)

You didn’t even look me in the eye

Just a paper and a pen, said “sign, goodbye”

No handshake, no thank you, no reason why

Just a cold room, silence, and a severed tie

(Ohhh, it cuts so deep…)

Was I just a number to you?

(A shadow in your view?)

After all I stood through…

How could you be so careless? (So careless…)

Closing the door like it’s nothing, regardless (Regardless…)

Thirteen years and the end tastes bitterest (So bitter, yeah…)

I guess it’s business,

And there’s no sentiment in business… (No sentiment, ohhh…)

You said we are family, maybe I was naive and blind

You counted the profits, not the ties that bind

A forced smile while I signed my fate

Severance written in a poisoned handshake

(Yeahhh… separation’s bitter…)

The chair’s still warm, but my soul feels cold

All the stories we built, left untold

Guess the bottom line’s worth more than gold

And goodbyes are luxuries you don’t hold

(Ohhh, it hurts to know…)

I was just a chapter to you

(Disposable, it’s true…)

But I still gave my all to you…

How could you be so careless? (So careless…)

Closing the door like it’s nothing, regardless (Regardless…)

Thirteen years and the end tastes bitterest (So bitter, yeah…)

I guess it’s business,

And there’s no sentiment in business… (No sentiment, ohhh…)

Tell me, what did I do to deserve this pain?

Was my loyalty worthless, washed down the drain?

Thirteen years gone, not a word, not a glance,

Just a cold goodbye, no second chance.

(Why me… ohhh why me?)

I carried your name like it was my own,

Now I’m left with silence, standing alone.

If this is justice, it cuts too deep,

You sowed my dreams, but the harvest was grief.

(Maybe one day… you’ll see…)

That loyalty’s not free…

You can’t buy it, can’t fake it,

But you sure can break it… (Break it, break it, ohhh…)

How could you be so careless? (So cold, so cold…)

Cut me off, no goodbye, just darkness (Darkness…)

Thirteen years and you call it “progress” (Progress…)

I guess it’s business,

And there’s no sentiment in business…

(Yeah… no sentiment…)

(Ohhh… business…)

Mmmh… you took thirteen years,

Left me with silence, tears…

But I guess it’s business,

And there’s no sentiment in business…

(so careless… so careless…)
