[Verse 1]
Saw your name
Light up my phone.
Heart skipped…
For nothing.
Just another group chat,
Another random meme.
Crazy how
You used to text me
Just because
You couldn’t sleep.
Now we’re strangers
With a history.
[Pre-Chorus]
I still know
Your coffee order.
Still know
Your favorite song.
Funny…
You probably don’t remember
Mine at all.
[Chorus]
We don’t fight.
We don’t scream.
We just slowly
Stopped saying anything.
You leave me
On read.
Guess that’s easier
Than saying
It’s the end.
We’re still alive.
Still breathing.
Just two people
Who quit believing.
Sometimes heartbreak
Doesn’t make a sound…
Sometimes…
It looks like
Read receipts.
[Verse 2]
Same streets.
Different seats.
Different people
Next to me.
I still catch myself
Turning to laugh…
Then remember
You’re not there.
It’s weird.
I don’t miss
Who you are now.
I miss
Who we used to be.
Funny how forever
Turned into “take care.”
Now we’re passing
Like we’re air.
Never thought
Silence could hurt
More than words.
Now every memory
Echoes first.
Everybody says
Time heals wounds.
Nobody tells you
Time rewrites rooms.
Now my favorite places
Don’t feel the same.
Funny…
How love leaves
Before people do.
[Bridge]
You don’t owe me
An explanation.
I just wish
We ended
Like we mattered.
Instead of fading
Like a conversation
Neither of us
Finished.
[Final Chorus]
We don’t fight.
We don’t scream.
We just slowly
Stopped saying anything.
You leave me
On read.
Guess that’s easier
Than telling me
We’re better off instead.
Maybe someday
We’ll laugh about it.
Maybe someday
This won’t hurt.
But tonight…
I’m still staring
At those…
Read receipts.
