[Intro]
[(phone vibration… voicemail beep… static)]
“Hey… uh…
I don’t even know if you’ll hear this…”
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
So I leave these thoughts in voicemails
That nobody hears but me
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
So I let the static fill the room
While I try to sort through every truth
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge (stripped)]
[(drums drop, synth + soft steel)]
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
[Final Chorus (bigger, emotional release)]
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
[Outro]
