(Verse 1)
I been thinkin’ ‘bout the way we used to talk at night
Every word felt safe, every pause felt right
Now it’s two grey ticks on the screen, no reply
Guess you moved on, didn’t need my goodbye
You know I gave you more than I had to give
Built you up when you didn’t wanna live
Now I’m here staring at an empty page
Tryna find the words but they all feel staged
(Pre-Chorus)
And I can’t lie, I’m hurt in a quiet way
No one sees it but it’s in my face
You told me “forever,” but I guess forever’s just a phase
Yeah…
(Chorus)
You left me on read, left me in pieces
Took all my love and gave me your secrets
Said we were solid, I thought we’d mean it
Now I’m just someone you once believed in
You left me on read, didn’t explain
I’m here with my pride, but it’s not the same
Guess this is the price when you love too deep
Now all I got is promises I can’t keep
(Verse 2)
I remember all the plans we used to make
Talking ‘bout the house, and the trips we’d take
Guess I was dreaming for the both of us
You were busy learning how to break my trust
And I ain’t even mad, I’m just numb inside
Got a smile on my face but my soul don’t lie
You can say you’re happy, I won’t disagree
But I know you’ll never find another me
(Bridge)
Funny how you can love someone so much
And still feel like you never had their touch
I could hate you, but that’s too easy
Instead I’m learning how to let you leave me
(Chorus)
You left me on read, left me in pieces
Took all my love and gave me your secrets
Said we were solid, I thought we’d mean it
Now I’m just someone you once believed in
You left me on read, didn’t explain
I’m here with my pride, but it’s not the same
Guess this is the price when you love too deep
Now all I got is promises I can’t keep
