[Verse 1]
You called me with a headline
then left me in the dark
gave me hope then went silent
like you don’t know what you start
I called you once
you killed it on the sixth ring
then ain’t call me back all day
like I don’t mean a thing
I text you now
and it disappears
you used to answer
now I’m talking to the air
I’m in this text thread by myself
talking straight into the void
you used to make me feel chosen
now I’m background noise
You can scroll
you can swipe
you can be online all night
engaging with posts
when I need you most
but can’t ask if I’m alright
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep me waitin’
but I ain’t chasin’
even when you disappear
and leave me achin’
You say you’re stressin’
while I’m over here guessin’
entertain other females
where the hell does that leave me
[Chorus]
Time filler
Afterthought
I’m tired of being found
only when the silence gets loud
You don’t reach
when your world feels full
you circle back
when the quiet pulls
I’m not your pause
between the noise
I’m not your backup
when you run out of toys
[Verse 2]
I don’t have a pause button
I’m not here to fill your gaps
you don’t get to leave me waiting
then come back when the silence snaps
I’m not taking the back seat
while you’re driving the car
you don’t get to steer my heart
then act like we drove too far
You know you left me hanging
so you wait till the next day
hoping I’ll be soft again
and let that shit fade away
You leave me breadcrumbs
while you take the whole damn plate
keep me starving for your effort
while you feast on what I gave
You keep tossing me pieces
like I’m starving on a leash
not enough to feel chosen
just enough to take my peace
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep me waitin’
but I ain’t chasin’
even when you disappear
and leave me achin’
You say you’re stressin’
while I’m over here guessin’
entertain other females
where the hell does that leave me
[Chorus]
Time filler
Afterthought
I’m tired of being found
only when the silence gets loud
You don’t reach
when your world feels full
you circle back
when the quiet pulls
I’m not your pause
between the noise
I’m not your backup
when you run out of toys
[Bridge]
You call it expectations
I call it common sense
you want all the freedom
but no consequence
You say you do what you want
like your ego might get bruised
I just wanted basic care
not another damn excuse
I don’t need the whole story
I don’t need your half-truths
I know I called you hours ago
and I ain’t heard shit from you
You act like you care
but your heart’s full of rust
you go do what you wanna do
then leave me in the dust
[Final Chorus]
Time filler
Afterthought
I’m tired of being found
only when the silence gets loud
You don’t reach
when your world feels full
you circle back
when the quiet pulls
I’m not your pause
between the noise
I’m not your backup
when you run out of toys
