Left me on read, but I replied with respect
Disconnect the heart, gotta protect the neck.
You said we friends, yeah I stay in the lane
But the static in the mind is driving me insane.
"Friends with the ex," yeah that’s a heavy line
I type "Okay" while I’m dying inside.
Read receipt open, yeah the screen is bright
Momo Tenji lonely in the middle of the night.
(Verse 1)
I kept it cool, yeah I played the role
"I value you as a person," yeah that was the goal.
But deep down in the code, I wanted more
Now I’m staring at the lock on the digital door.
You sensed the feelings, yeah you read the heat
Now I’m freezing cold on this Michigan street.
Tropical Hug can’t melt this ice
Being a "good person" comes with a price.
I respect the boundary, I won't cross the fence
But making sense of this don't make any sense.
(Bridge)
(Beat strips back to just the guitar)
Just a friend.
Just a ghost.
Just a system.
Waiting for a host.
(I agree... I agree...)
(Verse 2)
Back to the dish pit, scrub away the pain
Hide the tears in the steam and the rain.
Justice asking why I’m looking so low
I tell him "It’s nothing, just the way that it go."
REMLIN floating by, she knows the truth
Lost another battle in the war of the youth.
I won’t double text, I won’t chase the high
I’ll just stack the racks ‘til the day that I die.
Code is compiled, but the error is fatal
Love is a myth, just a story from the cradle.
(Chorus)
Left me on read, but I replied with respect
Disconnect the heart, gotta protect the neck.
You said we friends, yeah I stay in the lane
But the static in the mind is driving me insane.
"Friends with the ex," yeah that’s a heavy line
I type "Okay" while I’m dying inside.
Read receipt open, yeah the screen is bright
Momo Tenji lonely in the middle of the night.
(Outro)
(Guitar fades out slowly)
Mature...
Good person...
Yeah.
