00:00I wrote your name more times than I'll admit
00:09Typed it out, then backspaced bit by bit
00:16Each line was truth I couldn't send
00:22Hoping silence might somehow mend
00:24You never asked how I've been
00:27But I kept the messages caged within
00:30I swore I'd hit send when the pain would pass
00:33But they just piled up like glass
00:36Now there's tears in the traps that I never let go
00:41Words I rehearsed that you'll never know
00:44Half reading love stuck in between
00:47More honest than we've ever been
00:50You moved on fast, you walked so clean
00:53While I got trapped behind a screen
00:56Pages on send, breaking in halves
01:00I still bleed through tears in the drafts
01:04There's one from May I never touched
01:12Just I miss you but I said too much
01:15And one from June where I forgave
01:18Even though you never stayed
01:22I kept them all like little prayers
01:24Some sent confessions I couldn't bear
01:27But if you read them and just laughed
01:30So I buried them in drafts
01:33Yeah these tears in the drafts keep pulling me down
01:38Like messages mailed to no one in town
01:41Untied in the dark when I needed light
01:45Save them all but not quite right
01:47You built walls, I built a vault
01:51Of every word I made my fault
01:54Still I scroll, still I gasp
01:57At those frozen tears in the trash
02:01Maybe one day, maybe one day I'll hit delete
02:09Maybe one day, maybe one day I'll hit delete
02:12But not today, it feels like defeat
02:18Cause though you're gone, this part remains
02:22Proof I once felt something sane
02:28Now there's tears in the drafts
02:33Quiet and real wounds
02:35I won't let myself heal
02:37Your name still sits where I once typed
02:41But I erase it every night
02:43This isn't love, it's aftermath
02:46It's sunset storms, it's aftermath
02:50Still I hold tight, still I collapse
02:53Over
02:54Tears in the drafts
02:57You never read what I won't say
02:59But I still write anyway
03:02Tears in the drafts
03:07Forever stay
