00:00I typed your name, then backspace slow
00:11Like somehow silence lets you go
00:15My thumb's no words, I'll never send
00:19Cause you don't read them in the end
00:22It's all the truth I never spoke
00:27Still hanging there like bitter smoke
00:31Drafted lines that meant so much
00:35But now they're just untouched
00:38I almost hit send just last night
00:44But why fight ghosts that won't write
00:51So here's to the messages
00:54Still sitting on red
00:58Not by you, but by the part of me
01:04That still wishes instead
01:07I've written you in every tense
01:12But I can't make the meaning make sense
01:15I break, I type, I reinvent
01:19But all I am is unsent
01:23You don't respond, but I still try
01:28To find your voice between each side
01:32I've told you everything and more
01:36Without you ever keeping score
01:39I've got a thread I could've been
01:43Full of truths I tried to pen
01:47But you moved on and cut the string
01:51While I kept saving everything
01:55I write like maybe you still care
02:02But deep down, I know you're not there
02:09So here's to the messages
02:13The seven silent traps
02:17Like folding notes I'd never dare
02:23Send into your past
02:26I tell myself I'm heaven
02:30But healing feels like punishment
02:34I wish that you were different
02:38But you left me unsent
02:41I've said goodbye a hundred ways
02:47But none could ever make you stay
02:50You disappear, but here I'm right
02:54Stop chasing culture late at night
02:58Here's to the messages
03:00I'll never let you see
03:03Not out of pride
03:08Because I know
03:10They won't bring you back to me
03:13I've emptied out what's left to then
03:18Still stuck between what love meant
03:21I hit delete, still feel the dent
03:26Of everything unsent
03:29And maybe that's how I'll forget
03:34One message left unsent
