Verse 1
Found an old phone on a dusty back road
Screen cracked like a heart that broke slow
Half-written prayers in the notes app glow
Typed, erased, tried again, let it go
Every word feels heavy as a stone
Like someone was screaming all alone
Living loud where no one could see
Quiet in the world, wild underneath
Verse 2
They loved like fire in a dry July
Burned themselves just to keep folks warm at night
Gave their last breath to someone else’s fight
Smiled through storms, cried when the door shut tight
Wrote grief down like it wouldn’t heal
Names held tight ‘cause goodbye felt real
Tattoos, stories, scars that stay
Proof some love don’t fade away
Chorus
This phone knows the truth they hid
Every break, every “I’m fine” they said
They wanted more than being needed
Just once to be chosen, just once believed in
If you wanna know who they were inside
Read the words they left behind
They mattered more than they ever knew
Yeah, this phone knows the truth
Verse 3
Songs about nights they barely survived
Turning pain into something that stayed alive
Carried other people like a first response
Saving everyone but themselves at cost
Picked up shifts, picked up blame
Anything to outrun the pain
Stayed soft when the world got cold
That kind of strength don’t get told
Chorus
This phone knows the truth they hid
Every tear they swallowed, every bridge they burned
They loved past breaking, past reason, past time
Kept their heart open when it cost them mine
If you’re wondering why they couldn’t stay
They were tired in a way words can’t say
They mattered more than they ever knew
Yeah, this phone knows the truth
Bridge
If they’re gone, don’t think they were weak
They stayed longer than anyone sees
Left their soul in melody and ink
Just hoping someone would finally read
Final Chorus
This phone knows the truth they hid
That they fought like hell just to exist
Wanted love, not sympathy
Wanted chosen, not history
If you ever doubt they were real
Feel the weight of what they feel
They mattered more than they ever knew
And now… I do too
Outro
Battery’s low, but the truth still shows
Some hearts beat loud after they’re gone
If this is all that’s left to hold
Then let it be known
They were here
They loved
And they held on
