Verse 1 (Spoken fast, UK cadence — like texts)
“Where are you?” — came through at half past two,
I stared at the screen, but I couldn’t move.
“Wish you were here” — it cut like a knife,
‘Cause I’d give anything to rewind my life.
“Do you still love me?” — my chest went tight,
I typed out the truth but I backspaced twice.
Every word you send feels heavy and sharp,
Texts on a screen but they tear my heart apart.
Pre-Chorus (Soft build)
These little blue bubbles got me losing sleep,
Every line you write is a wound too deep.
Chorus (Soaring, melodic, emotional)
🎶 I’m drowning in your messages, they’re tearing me down,
Every word’s a bullet, every line’s a sound.
I can feel my heart breaking with every tone,
I’m surrounded by your words but I’m still alone. 🎶
⸻
Verse 2 (Spoken fast, with emotion)
“It’s not you, it’s me” — that old cliché,
But my hands still shook when I read it that day.
“Don’t call tonight” — I dropped my phone,
‘Cause nothing feels colder than being alone.
“We were good, but maybe not meant to last,”
Now I’m haunted by ghosts of the digital past.
Every dot-dot-dot that fades away,
Leaves me waiting for words you’ll never say.
Pre-Chorus (Soft build)
And it kills me inside when you leave me on read,
Feels like every “…” is another goodbye instead.
Chorus (Soaring, melodic, emotional)
🎶 I’m drowning in your messages, they’re tearing me down,
Every word’s a bullet, every line’s a sound.
I can feel my heart breaking with every tone,
I’m surrounded by your words but I’m still alone. 🎶
⸻
Bridge (Spoken low, almost whispered)
I don’t need perfection, I don’t need a rhyme,
Just a single reply to know you’re still mine.
But the silence is louder than any scream,
I’m stuck replaying you in every dream.
(humming and soft “oooo” under)
⸻
Final Chorus (Big soaring close)
🎶 I’m drowning in your messages, they’re tearing me down,
Every word’s a bullet, every line’s a sound.
If love is still hiding somewhere in your phone,
Send me just one text that says I’m not alone.
Please, send me one line that says I’m not… alone. 🎶
(Outro — long hums and “oooo’s” fading out like a phone screen dimming)
