Lyric

Your name stayed bright on the glass

Blue light under my hand

Three words waiting in the bar

Like they could understand

The room was already quiet

The street had folded down

I typed a softer answer

Then watched it lose its shape

You had done nothing wrong

That made it harder still

A kind line on the screen

Can feel like something to fulfill

I held the phone too long

Until my thumb went cold

There was love inside the silence

But silence does what it is told

The message stayed open

All night beside my bed

Not because the feeling left

But because the words felt dead

The message stayed open

Like a door I could not cross

You were waiting in the light

And I was counting what it cost

Morning found the same blue screen

Coffee cooling by the sink

Your last goodnight untouched

Too heavy now to drink

The window held the weather

The room held every sound

A shirt across the chair

Like proof I let you down

No excuse fit in my mouth

Not sleep, not work, not time

The truth was small and useless

I had your heart and hid from mine

You deserved a simple answer

Something gentle, something clear

But the longer that I waited

The more I made you disappear

The message stayed open

All night beside my bed

Not because the feeling left

But because the words felt dead

The message stayed open

Like a door I could not cross

You were waiting in the light

And I was counting what it cost

Love was not the missing thing

I wish that made it right

I had enough to miss you

Not enough to step inside

There are ways to hurt someone

Without raising any sound

I never meant to leave you there

But I still let you wait around

The message stayed open

Until the room turned pale

Your name was still beside me

Like a ship I let set sail

The message stayed open

And morning took its place

I never stopped loving you

I just failed to find the way

The screen went dark by itself

No mercy, no reply

Just my hand above the glass

And your name under the sky
