Lyric

I stared at your message for hours

Typing words I’d never send

Every version felt too honest

Every line came to an end

I thought if I just waited

Maybe it would fade away

But it’s the reply I never sent

That keeps me up at night

All the words I held inside

That never saw the light

I thought silence would protect me

Keep everything intact

But the truth I never gave you

Is the one thing I can’t take back

Now your name just stays there frozen

In a thread I never closed

Every time I try to move on

It’s the part I miss the most

Maybe if I said it

Things would’ve changed somehow

But it’s the reply I never sent

That’s louder than before

Every word I left unsaid

Still echoes in my thoughts

I didn’t wanna risk it

Didn’t wanna break the line

But the moment that I lost you

Was the moment I stayed quiet

If I could go back now

Would I press “send” this time?

Or would I watch it disappear

Just like I did that night?

It’s the reply I never sent

That never lets me go

Every piece of what I felt

Still buried in my phone

I thought leaving it unanswered

Would somehow make it right

But the words I never gave you

Are the ones I think about tonight
