Read receipts (girl response to heart emojis)

 [Intro – whispered, breathy]
(soft piano, faint static)

You talk about love like it’s war…
But you don’t talk about what you did to survive it…

 [Verse 1]
(piano + light 808)

You say I turned cold, yeah, I probably did
But you don’t know the nights I was breaking in
Tryna hold us together with shaking hands
While you built up walls I couldn’t get in

You say I’m distant, I don’t feel the same
But love ain’t loud when it’s soaked in pain
I was screaming inside, you just heard the quiet
You saw me leave… you ain’t see me fighting

 [Hook]
(add drums + ambient pad)

You send heart emojis, I send read receipts
‘Cause love ain’t words, it’s how you treat me
You say forever, but you come and go
And I got tired of loving you alone

You paint me like I’m made of stone
But I was breaking behind that phone
You lost me slow, you didn’t see
Now you send hearts… but not to me

 [Verse 2]
(beat drops heavier, deeper bass)

You talk like I switched up overnight
Like I ain’t bleed just to make it right
Like I ain’t beg for a piece of peace
While you were out there losing me

Yeah, I got flaws, I ain’t innocent
But I was real, I was all in it
You gave me half, I gave you whole
Now you’re surprised that I let go

And I ain’t heartless, I just grew wise
Love shouldn’t feel like a compromise
You miss the girl that would let things slide
She died the night I chose my pride

 [Hook – stronger, layered vocals]
(full beat, emotional lift)

You send heart emojis, I send read receipts
‘Cause love ain’t words, it’s how you treat me
You say forever, but you come and go
And I got tired of loving you alone

You paint me like I’m made of stone
But I was breaking behind that phone
You lost me slow, you didn’t see
Now you send hearts… but not to me

 [Bridge – stripped down, raw]
(piano only, slight vocal distortion)

I would’ve stayed if you fought for me
But you got comfortable watching me leave
Now you’re typing things you never said
When I was laying right next to you in bed

 [Final Hook – soft → powerful]
(build from soft to full)

You send heart emojis… I don’t reply
‘Cause love don’t live where the truth don’t try
You had my heart, yeah you had it deep
Now all you get is these read receipts

 [Outro – fading, echoing]
(ambient pad, distant)

You don’t miss me…
You miss how I loved you…
