The Pretty Reckless-Just Tonight

“If My Life Was a Movie” was born one quiet night when silence felt louder than any sound. 
I had been standing in my kitchen, the same light humming, the same cup on the counter and it hit me how ordinary moments can sometimes feel like scenes from a film no one’s watching.

The song grew from that feeling, the idea that life doesn’t always come with a soundtrack, a climax, or an audience waiting for resolution. 
It’s about drifting through days that blur together, where even small sounds, a car passing outside, a radiator ticking become reminders that the world keeps moving, even when you feel stuck in one frame.

Each verse plays like a shot from a forgotten film: still, unfiltered, and painfully real. 
The bridge is that small rebellion the thought of editing your own story, trying to add color, laughter, or closure, but realizing that honesty lives in imperfection.

In the end, “If My Life Was a Movie” isn’t about drama or applause. 
It’s about the quiet truth that not every story needs to be rewritten, sometimes the fade to black says everything.

Enjoy....

Lyrics:

[Intro]
If my life was a movie, I don’t know who would stay until the end

[Verse 1]
The camera opens on a kitchen
A cup stands alone on the counter
The light is too white, and the floor creaks when I move
Nothing happens for a while
A car passes outside, and the sound feels more alive than I do
The walls are filled with pictures of moments that looked happier than they were
Someone once said that film captures truth
But truth never held still long enough to be framed

[Pre-Chorus]
If this was a scene, I’d probably forget my line

[Chorus]
If my life was a movie
there’d be no soundtrack
Just the sound of breathing
and the radiator ticking in the background
Maybe someone would wonder 
why the main character never leaves the room

[Verse 2]
There’s a street outside I used to walk at night
The lamppost flickers between yellow and gone
I still look both ways even when no cars come
I wait for something that won’t return
The actors who played my friends have gone home
The extras have no names
Only the props remain an empty chair
a phone that doesn’t ring

[Bridge] 
Sometimes I think about rewriting the script
Adding color, maybe a laugh
But every edit feels dishonest
Life doesn’t follow an arc. It drifts
It fades. It forgets what it meant to say

[Final Chorus] 
If my life was a movie
no one would cry at the ending
They’d just stand up slowly, stretch, and walk back into the night

[Outro]
Leave the screen dark
It says enough
