[Verse 1]
Woke up to a screen burn
Same bed
Same four white walls
Scroll through every half-life
Of friends who never call
My hoodie still smells like
Last year’s basement shows
We swore we’d never grow up
Guess everyone but me got old
[Pre-Chorus]
You said “I’ll text you back”
Then you never did
I keep rereading
Like a stupid kid
[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the group chat
Typing and deleting (again, again)
Laughing at the in-jokes
That I’m not really in
You moved to the big life
I stayed in this small town
I keep turning my volume up
But you just turn me down (down, down)
[Verse 2]
Your updates are airports
Mine are parking lots
You’re busy collecting
New friends and coffee shops
I’m late to my day shift
Still writing your old name
In margins of receipts
Like nothing ever changed
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “We’ll hang out soon”
I pretend it’s true
I hit that little heart
Just to feel seen by you
[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the group chat
Typing and deleting (again, again)
Laughing at the in-jokes
That I’m not really in
You moved to the big life
I stayed in this small town
I keep turning my volume up
But you just turn me down (down, down)
[Bridge]
So here’s my read receipt
I’m finally letting go (hey!)
I’ll mute the way you make me
Feel so disposable
If I’m a ghost to you
Then watch me disappear
I’ll scream it to an empty room
Like you were here (like you were here)
[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the group chat
Typing and deleting (not this time)
Laughing at the silence
On your perfect timeline
You’re chasing the big life
I’m burning this town down
I’m done turning my volume up
For people who tune me out (out, out)
