[Intro]
yeah… I notice it… (I always notice it)
[Verse 1]
you read my messages fast
but your replies don’t land the same
like you’re there for a second
then gone again mid-name
you type… then stop… then delete it
like the words don’t feel right
and I don’t say anything about it
but I feel it every time
[Pre-Chorus]
you’re here… but not fully here…
[Chorus]
the way you read
but the way you don’t stay
the way you see me
but drift away
I notice it in the silence
between what you say
the way you read
but you don’t stay
[Post-Chorus]
don’t stay… don’t stay… (why?)
don’t stay… don’t stay…
[Verse 2]
you used to over-explain everything
now it’s just short replies
like you’re saving energy
for somewhere I can’t find
and I wonder if it’s me
or if it’s everything else
but I don’t ask you
cause I don’t want the answer itself
[Pre-Chorus]
so I just watch it change…
[Chorus]
the way you read
but the way you don’t stay
like you’re already halfway out
before I even say your name
I see you here
but not in the same way
the way you read
but you don’t stay
[Bridge]
maybe you don’t even notice
maybe it’s just how you cope
but I feel the distance growing
in every “lol” and “hope”
[Breakdown]
you’re here… you’re here…
but not really here…
[Final Chorus]
the way you read
but the way you don’t stay
I keep talking into silence
that learns your shape each day
and I don’t know what changed
but I feel it anyway
the way you read
but you don’t stay
[Outro]
yeah… I notice it…
