“Hey… uh…

I don’t even know if you’ll hear this…”

It’s 2 AM and I’m still awake

Same dark room, same mistakes

Phone in my hand but I don’t press send

Guess I don’t know where to begin

Everybody thinks I’m doing fine

Cause I joke around and I still smile

But honestly I’ve been losing sleep

Trying to outrun what’s chasing me

And I know I disappear sometimes

Get quiet when I’m not alright

It’s not that I don’t care…

I just don’t know what to say

So I leave these thoughts in voicemails

That nobody hears but me

Voicemail after voicemail… (voicemaaaail)

Saying things I’ll never say

Trying to fight these conversations

Running circles in my brain

Every missed call feels personal… (personaaal)

Every silence hits too well

So I talk to the dark instead…

And leave it in a voicemail

Fear keeps telling me slow down

“You fell off, you lost it now”

And some nights I almost listen

Like maybe he’s onto something

I play my old songs in the car

Trying to remember who you are

Back before the pressure came

Back before everything changed

And maybe I care too much

Maybe that’s why this stuff hurts

Every little word sticks around…

Long after it should

So I let the static fill the room

While I try to sort through every truth

Voicemail after voicemail… (voicemaaaail)

Saying things I’ll never say

Trying to fight these conversations

Running circles in my brain

Every missed call feels personal… (personaaal)

Every silence hits too well

So I talk to the dark instead…

And leave it in a voicemail

Maybe one day I’ll hit send…

Maybe one day I’ll let somebody in

Maybe I’m not as alone

As I feel right now

Voicemail after voicemail… (hold it)

Trying not to lose myself

Every thought I keep inside me

Stacked up on a mental shelf

And maybe somebody out there… (out theeeere)

Feels the same way I do

Maybe these late-night voicemails…

Aren’t just getting through to me

“Message deleted.”
