Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You texted “yo
You good?”
I left it there a day
Thought I’d hit you back tomorrow
Then tomorrow slipped away
You posted one last picture
Half a smile
Crooked cap
I just scrolled right past it
Didn’t see you sinking fast
[Chorus]
Now I’m staring at my phone
At a number that won’t ring
They say you’re gone
They say you used
That thing you kept for “safety”
And I keep thinking if I’d called
If I’d just picked up that night
You might still be here to hate me
For asking if you’re alright
I keep wishing I had answered
Before you answered it with fire
I keep wishing I had answered
Brother
You were more than tired
[Verse 2]
Your mom said
“he talked about you”
Like I was some missing light
Said you waited on my birthday wish
That never did arrive
All the stupid jokes I saved
All the memes I meant to send
Now they feel like loaded words
A timeline that just… ends
[Chorus]
Now I’m staring at my phone
At a number that won’t ring
They say you’re gone
They say you used
That thing you kept for “safety”
And I keep thinking if I’d called
If I’d just picked up that night
You might still be here to hate me
For asking if you’re alright
I keep wishing I had answered
Before you answered it with fire
I keep wishing I had answered
Brother
You were more than tired
[Bridge]
Were you waiting on a “hey
What’s up?”
Just one dumb line to pull you back?
Did you hold it in your shaking hand
Hoping someone else would ask?
I replay it
Frame by frame
Every silence
Every laugh
Trading all my tomorrows
For one more chance to drag you back
[Chorus]
Now I’m talking to your picture
Like you’re gonna text me soon
Saying
“man
That shit was crazy”
And we’d change the subject too
I keep thinking if I’d called
If I’d just shown up that night
You might still be here to hate me
For checking in too many times
I keep wishing I had answered
Before you answered it with fire
I keep wishing I had answered
You were hurting
You were more than tired

Style
Sparse piano ballad with male vocals, close-mic and intimate. First verse almost whispered over gentle, slow chords; chorus lifts with soft pads and subtle vocal doubles, a distant, brushed snare entering on the second chorus. Bridge pulls instruments back to near acapella, then final chorus blooms with fragile harmonies and a lingering piano outro., sad
