One Way Street

Verse 1

Hey, how’ve you been?

We haven’t talked in a while.

How’s it over there?

Hopefully, better than here.

Pre-Chorus

All our conversations always start with me reaching out.

So I’m done.

Done with all the questions and the worry that always follows.

Done with being the one to try to keep in contact long distance.

Done with thinking that I need you,

'Cause now I realize that if I don’t reach out, you won’t notice that I’m gone.

So I’m done.

Chorus

The silence speaks louder than any words.

Looking at an empty phone screen in my bed.

I'm letting go of the space I held for you.

Walking away from trying to make this work.

Verse 2

Tell me why it has to be this way.

Always reaching out but never getting anything back.

Those sharp answers don’t cut it.

And yes, I understand you're busy,

But so am I, and I make the time to reach out to you.

Chorus

The silence speaks louder than any words.

Looking at an empty phone screen in my bed.

I'm letting go of the space I held for you.

Walking away from trying to make this work.

Outro

I’m done checking if you saw my messages.

Or wondering what I did wrong.

The phone is finally down, and I can breathe.

Realizing I don’t care anymore.
