Face Down

[Verse 1]
You used to leave your phone right next to me
Buzzin’ loud, you never cared who’d see
Now it’s always flipped like secrets on the floor
Screen goes dark when I walk through the door

Late night glow lighting up your face
You say it’s nothing but you switch the page
Got that nervous laugh, yeah I know that tone
Funny how you never leave it alone

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
You say I’m trippin’, say I’m out my mind
But why you actin’ like you got somethin’ to hide?

[Chorus]
Why you keep your phone face down now?
Who you tryna keep me from now?
Used to let it ring, let me hear that sound
Now you silence everything when I’m around

Got your brightness low, got your passwords changed
Say it’s all the same, but it ain’t the same
Baby, tell me why you look so nervous now
Every time your phone lights up face down

[Verse 2]
You take it with you just to cross the room
Like I’m some stranger you don’t wanna lose
Bathroom trips turn into twenty minutes long
Comin’ back sayin’ nothin’s goin’ on

I ain’t crazy, I just read between
All the lines you’re hopin’ I don’t see
Got that sixth sense screaming in my chest
Love don’t feel like this when it’s at its best

[Pre-Chorus]
You swear on us, but your eyes don’t lie
If there’s nothing there, then why you gotta hide?

[Chorus]
Why you keep your phone face down now?
Who you tryna keep me from now?
Used to let it ring, let me hear that sound
Now you silence everything when I’m around

Got your brightness low, got your passwords changed
Say it’s all the same, but it ain’t the same
Baby, tell me why you look so nervous now
Every time your phone lights up face down

[Bridge]
I don’t need your code, I just need the truth
It’s the way you move, yeah it’s how you move
If there’s nothing wrong, why it feel so wrong?
Why I feel alone when you’re right at home?

Say my name like you used to do
Not like I’m someone you gotta get through
If you got someone, just say it out loud
Don’t make me find out from a face-down sound

[Final Chorus]
Why you keep your phone face down now?
Who you tryna keep me from now?
You can keep your lies, I don’t want ‘em now
I see everything when it lights up now

Yeah your brightness low, but I see it clear
All the truth you’re tryna disappear
Baby, I don’t need to scroll or look around
I already know why it’s face down
