You said

"Text me when you’re home"

I hit send before the door closed

Now my screen still says "delivered"

Guess your heart’s on airplane mode

Scrolling through our inside jokes

Little clips of you out of tune

Funny how a thousand photos

Can’t call me back to the room

Refresh

Refresh

Yeah

I’m obsessed

Typing bubbles

Then nothing left

Said we’re fine

But it feels like

Left on read

All these words stuck in my head

Typing out a paragraph

Delete it all instead

You got me

Overthinking every breath

If you wanted me

You’d say it

But I’m just

Left on read

Last week you were on my side

Feet up on the dash

Late drives

Now you’re "busy

" little circles

Next to your name every time

Told my friends

"It’s not that deep"

Laugh it off

Then barely sleep

Funny how I play it casual

When it’s cutting underneath

Refresh

Refresh

Yeah

I confess

I’ve been folding

All your old texts

Said we’re good

But it feels like

[low vocal register] Maybe you’re scared to say it’s over

Maybe I’m scared to let you go

So we just sit inside this silence

Like a show that won’t reload [crescendo]
