You were blowing up my phone,
Like every word could save the night.
Double texts at 2 A.M.,
Like I was your favorite fight.
You swore nobody got you
Like I somehow always could.
Funny how the truth showed up…
Guess it didn’t sound so good.
The second I stopped saying, “Sorry,”
Stopped pretending you were right,
You disappeared without a warning,
Like you vanished overnight.
Funny how you loved my attention,
‘Til I gave you honesty.
Guess reality’s a little heavier
Than your fantasy.
Now your number’s just a memory,
Your echo doesn’t haunt these walls.
You went ghost the minute I
Stopped catching every time you’d fall.
Guess that’s the lesson after all.
Now I see it crystal clear,
You loved the version you controlled.
Every compliment had strings,
Every promise left me cold.
You called silence “moving on,”
I call it proving what was true.
You never wanted someone honest…
Just someone who believed in you.
I stopped dancing around your feelings,
Stopped wearing all the blame.
Turns out truth’s a scary thing
When someone’s playing games.
Funny how you loved my attention,
‘Til I gave you honesty.
Guess reality’s a little heavier
Than your fantasy.
Now your number’s just a memory,
Your echo doesn’t haunt these walls.
You went ghost the minute I
Stopped catching every time you’d fall.
Guess that’s the lesson after all.
Now if your name lights up my screen,
It doesn’t steal another breath.
Funny how a little distance
Can bring a heart back from the edge.
You disappearing wasn’t heartbreak,
It was freedom in disguise.
You walked away from everything…
I finally opened up my eyes.
Go ahead, disappear.
You always were good at that.
Turns out closure doesn’t need
A message saying where you’re at.
You can haunt somebody else.
I’m done chasing shadows now.
Funny how you lost your voice
The second I stopped backing down.
Funny how you loved my attention,
‘Til I gave you honesty.
Guess reality’s a little heavier
Than your fantasy.
Now your number’s just a memory,
And your name don’t shake my world.
You went ghost…
But I found myself,
So thanks for leaving first.
Guess that’s the lesson after all.
