(Ping!)

...Wait

No, not you. Not again

(Sigh...)

Just an ad. Why is it never you?

Screen glowed bright, my heart took flight

Checked in a flash, but you weren’t in sight

How many times have I checked today?

Two hundred times? I’m sick, they say

I know I’m obsessed, it’s a losing game

But I’m addicted to the ghost of your name

One minute, five minutes, an hour crawls by

Time starts to warp under a digital sky

I’m staring at the clock ‘til the numbers bleed

While that blue checkmark does the dirty deed

(Hey... are you even alive?)

Left on read, left on read

Spinning in circles inside my head

Left on read, left on read

Did I do something wrong? Are we dead?

Are you mad? Are you bored? Are you over me?

I’m breaking apart for the whole world to see

It’s so easy to ruin me with a tiny "Seen" ♡

Simulated a hundred reasons why

"He’s just busy," "He’s a tired guy"

But I see your green dot, a glowing lie

You’re online now, but you won’t reply

Talking to who? Not me, that’s for sure

I’m taking screenshots, looking for a cure

Yeah, I’m pathetic, I’m out of my mind

But your silence is a void I can't leave behind

Wanna see my drafts? The things I’ll never send:

"Are you mad?" (Backspace)

"Did I mess up?" (Backspace)

"I'm sorry." (Backspace)

"I love you." (Backspace)

I’m too scared to send, too scared to lose

So I’ll just sit here and wait for the news

(Ping! Ping! Ping!)

None of them are you

None of them mean a thing

Mute the whole world, cut every string

Except for the one that’s never gonna ring

3 AM, still wide awake

Waiting for a buzz for my own heart’s sake

Left on read is a slow-motion kill

No blood on the floor, but I’m losing the will

Goodnight... I’ll be here tomorrow

Waiting for the blue
