[Verse 1]
You typed “goodnight” at 9:03
Said that you’d call
Just “wait and see”
Now my screen’s a quiet sea
Blue bubbles
[soft laugh] never reaching me
[Pre-Chorus]
I told my friends you felt so real
Like maybe this time it could heal
All these almosts sitting in my phone
I’m so tired of loving all alone
[Chorus]
Don’t leave me left on read again
I can’t do these maybes
Almost-friends
Every little “hey” then it just ends
I’m done with talking stages
Wasting all my pages
Don’t say you care then fade to gray
I’m not built to beg you to stay
If you disappear
Then stay away
I’m done with talking stages
Done with empty phrases
[Verse 2]
You knew my fears
My middle name
Shared all your scars like we were same
You said “I’m here
I’m not like them”
Then slowly turned into “just like them”
[Pre-Chorus]
I watched your typing dots blink out
Felt my hope just bleeding out
Why’s it always “this could be the one”
Till “seen” is all I’m looking at by 1
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I won’t chase a shadow on a screen
I want more than pixels in between
If your love is just a passing trend
Baby
Let it end
Let it end
[climbing vocal runs]
’Cause my heart’s not here for half-way highs (half-way)
Sweet hellos then quiet goodbyes (goodbyes)
I need someone who shows up twice
Not once then hides
[Chorus]
