[Intro]
Blue ticks
No text
Heart read
Not checked (yeah)
[Verse 1]
You pop up on my screen then you disappear
Type three dots, then they vanish like you switched the gear
Got me scrolling through our thread like it’s last year
Laughing at the jokes, then I feel that fear
You out with your friends, I can see your story
I’m here in my bed, arguing with my worries
How you make me feel high, then you dip in a hurry
Got my chest doing laps, running circles, blurry
[Chorus]
Why you got me late night, left on read
Talking to the ceiling, replaying what I said
Did I say too much, did I scare you off instead
Or you just like power, holding over my head
Why you got me late night, left on read
Refreshing that chat till my eyes turn red
Tryna play it cool but I’m cracked, I’m spread
All over these sheets where your name still rests (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Friends say “leave it, they gon’ hit you when they wanna”
But they don’t hear my heart arguing with my honor
Do I double text, triple text, call you “mama”?
Or do I ghost back, turn calm into drama
I know you see my face in the tiny icon
Know you feel that buzz when my name lights on
We both act busy, both act grown
But I’m still that kid when you pick up the phone
[Chorus]
Why you got me late night, left on read
Talking to the ceiling, replaying what I said
Did I say too much, did I scare you off instead
Or you just like power, holding over my head
Why you got me late night, left on read
Refreshing that chat till my eyes turn red
Tryna play it cool but I’m cracked, I’m spread
All over these sheets where your name still rests
[Bridge]
Maybe in the morning you’ll say you fell asleep (fell asleep)
I’ll pretend to believe you, lie to my belief
We both know the game but we still play deep
Losing little pieces that we never meant to keep
[Chorus]
Why you got me late night, left on read
Talking to the ceiling, replaying what I said
Did I say too much, did I scare you off instead
Or you just like power, holding over my head
Why you got me late night, left on read
Refreshing that chat till my eyes turn red
Tryna play it cool but I’m cracked, I’m spread
All over this room where your name still rests (yeah)
