Lyric

I posted my face in the blue glow

Low-res smile, let it go

One clean frame, one crooked eye

Five tiny hearts and a long blank sky

My thumb kept hovering there

Like I was asking, do you care?

Seen by the room, but not by you

That little silence got loud too

I left it up for proof

A footprint in the room

If you were close, you’d know

I was trying not to show

Story nobody watched

Still hoping you’d pause

Story nobody watched

I wanted one little sign

One little sign that I crossed your mind

Story nobody watched

Still hoping you’d pause

My laugh looked brave on the screen

But the corners gave me away, it seems

A messy light, a tired hand

Trying to look like I could stand

Everybody keeps scrolling fast

I’m a second that won’t last

But I kept the frame on me

Like a note in the dark to see

I left it up for proof

A footprint in the room

If you were close, you’d know

I was trying not to show

Story nobody watched

Still hoping you’d pause

Story nobody watched

I wanted one little sign

One little sign that I crossed your mind

Story nobody watched

Still hoping you’d pause

If you knew how small I felt

You’d see the shelf I put myself

Right there in plain view

Waiting on a look from you

No halo, no heavy shine

Just a face in borrowed light

Say you saw me, say it true

I keep making room for you

Story nobody watched

Still hoping you’d pause

Story nobody watched

I wanted one little sign

One little sign that I crossed your mind

Story nobody watched

Still hoping you’d pause
