Left on read

(Verse 1) We used to talk ‘til the sky turned blue, Now it’s 2 a.m. and I’m talking to you In a screen that won’t light up your name. Your side of the bed’s still cold and dead, Got your hoodie here and my foolish pride, Guess I’m the only one who stayed the same. (Pre-Chorus) I trace your laugh in the silence, Hear your keys in the hall— But it’s just my heart playing violence, Throwing shadows on the wall. (Chorus) You said forever like you meant it, Like it wasn’t just a word. Now forever’s just a memory And I’m hanging on to hurt. I keep staring at the doorway Like you might walk through instead— But love don’t come back once it’s gone, It just leaves you on read. (Verse 2) I memorized every freckle and scar, Every late-night drive in your beat-up car, Every promise we made in the dark. Now I’m learning how to sleep alone, How to make this empty house a home, How to live with half a heart. (Pre-Chorus) Your picture’s still in my wallet, I swear I tried to let go— But some ghosts don’t need a body, They just won’t leave you alone. (Chorus) You said forever like you meant it, Like it wasn’t just a word. Now forever’s just a memory And I’m hanging on to hurt. I keep staring at the doorway Like you might walk through instead— But love don’t come back once it’s gone, It just leaves you on read. (Bridge) Maybe I was just a chapter, Maybe you were just a phase, But I’d give every tomorrow For one more of our yesterdays. If missing you’s a habit, I don’t wanna break it yet— ‘Cause letting go would mean You’re someone I forget. (Soft Chorus) You said forever like you meant it… Now it echoes in my head. And love don’t come back once it’s gone, It just leaves you on read. (Outro) So I’ll lay here with the silence, With the things we never said— You moved on like it was nothing, And I’m still left on read.
