Missed Calls & Mixed Signals

I used to stare at my phone like it owed me the truth

Waitin’ on a call that never came through

Typed out my heart, then deleted the proof

‘Cause silence felt safer than bein’ your fool

You spoke in circles, I talked in lines

I gave you clarity, you gave me signs

Tried to read love in your mixed replies

But real ones don’t leave you guessin’ all the time

⸻

Missed calls and mixed signals

Kept me tangled in what-if riddles

Sayin’ “I’m fine” but you knew I wasn’t

You pulled me close, then acted distant

Was it love or just convenience?

I don’t beg for half-believin’

Now I let it ring, let the silence linger

No more texts that burn my fingers

⸻

I was dialin’ in while you tuned me out

Gave you the truth, but you filled it with doubt

No more cryin’ over static and noise

I’m done chasin’ echoes, done losin’ my voice

I ain’t bitter, I’m better, just had to grow

Some doors don’t close — they just never open, yo

So I hung up the hope, turned off the tone

And learned how to love bein’ left alone

———

Counted days, rewound texts in my mind

Tryna find a reason, some sign left behind

But you moved like shadows, never in line

Left me lost in the noise, tryna redefine

No closure, just echoes hangin’ in space

I traded my worth for a moment’s embrace

Now I’m sittin’ quiet, reclaimin’ my grace

Findin’ peace in the space you can’t replace

⸻

No more waitin’, no more pretendin’

This is my time — my own path, no bendin’

I’m callin’ my shots, no missed connections

Closing chapters, no second-guessin’
