Lyrics

[INTRO] (0:00-0:15 — Single piano note, sustain pedal, room tone. No click track.) (spoken, raw, no melody) You asked what happened at 2:09. Here's what really happened. [VERSE 1] (0:15-0:45 — Piano only, voice exposed, no vibrato) Saw you typing, then you stopped Three little dots and my heart just— Dropped to the floor of my bedroom Where I'm still wearing your perfume But the bottle's almost empty now And so am I [VERSE 2] (0:45-1:15 — Same, building slightly, more pain) Checked my signal, checked my wifi Checked if I said something stupid But it wasn't what I said, was it? It was everything I didn't say Everything I was too scared to be For you [CHORUS] (1:15-1:45 — Strings enter, still sparse, devastating) You got me on read You got me on read Blue check, no text Going 'round my head But the song stopped playing And the room got quiet And I realized You were never going to reply [BRIDGE] (1:45-2:00 — Stripped to voice only, a cappella, broken) (spoken, breaking) I made up so many reasons. So many excuses for you. But the truth is... (sung, fragile) You saw it. You saw it. You saw it. [OUTRO] (2:00-2:30 — Piano returns, single notes, fading) You saw it at 2:09 And never replied (pause) But I don't need you to reply Anymore (single piano note, hold, release) (silence)
