Lately I’ve been feeling stupid, Scrolling through my phone alone, Screen so dry and cold and quiet — But my mind won’t let you go. Still thinking ’bout your messy hair, The way you used to stare, I thought there was something burning there — Guess I wasn’t aware. How could I know our eyes Were looking at different truths? All I ever saw was you… But she was in the room. Silly me, I read the signs Like they were written clear, Thought we were on the same page — But she was also there. You gave me all those mixed-up signals, Hot and cold, then gone, I followed every little trace Like I’d been led along. Turns out I built a fantasy Inside my hopeful head, While you were writing something else In someone else’s bed. Maybe I was delusional, But the proof was everywhere — The way you liked my pictures, The way you used to stare. I thought nothing ever happened, Just tension in the air, But I ignored the quiet truth: You never really cared. I saw you just the other day, Your shine was kind of gone, And I can’t help but think with me You would’ve felt like home. Still I think about you nightly, And yeah, it feels silly, But I can’t lie to myself — I wanted you, really. Now I’m learning to accept it, Even though it’s hard to bear — I wasn’t crazy for believing… You just weren’t ever there.
