Verse 1

Three forty-five, blue light catching my jaw Scrolling back to March of last year, pinned to your archive wall You sent a voice note laughing at that gas station thing I never replied, still sitting there unread, whatever that means Profile picture changed twice, new bio about beginning Keep typing your name in search then X-ing out again Fourteen pinned photos, three memes, a voice note from when

Pre-chorus

I got the draft right here, sixty-two words Everything I meant to say, every syllable hurts One more line, delete, rewrite One more line

Chorus

Had it typed, never sent it Everything I meant to say still sitting there Had it typed, never sent it Cursor blinking, I just stared Typed, not sent Typed, not sent

Verse 2

I rehearsed the opening three times out loud "Hey, I've been thinking", nah, too soft, too proud "I owe you an explanation", sounds like I did something wrong "You probably moved on", that one felt honest but it stung Watched your last-seen sitting at 8:47 PM Wrote a whole paragraph about the night things went dim Then thought about how you'd screenshot it and send it to a friend Backspaced from the period all the way back to the beginning again

Pre-chorus

I got the draft right here, sixty-two words Everything I meant to say, every syllable hurts One more line, delete, rewrite One more line

Chorus

Had it typed, never sent it Everything I meant to say still sitting there Had it typed, never sent it Cursor blinking, I just stared Typed, not sent Typed, not sent

Verse 3

Remember that clip we stitched back in November Parking lot sunset, wrong filter, I still got it saved Your handle's different now, some other app Concert recording at 1 AM, wrong contact, laughing emoji back Six minutes going back and forth, that was the last clean thing Before whatever happened to us both late

Verse 4

Tonight I wrote the real one, straight through, no edits, left it raw "I think I pulled away because I was ashamed of where I was You were moving and I kept standing still because" Stopped there. Never finished the because. Cursor sitting right after that pause in empty space Thumb one inch from send when three notifications lit the face Tapped away without thinking, went back into drafts, that's it

Bridge

This is what I actually wrote. "Hey. I know it's been a while. I miss how we used to just send stuff without thinking. I got scared somewhere along the way. That's all. That's honestly all." I never sent it.

Verse 5

Saved it to a notes folder I won't open for months Archived the thread, still there, just invisible now Told myself timing, told myself later, told myself meant to be Message still in drafts, I checked it this morning Maybe you're somewhere doing the same thing Both of us holding phones in the dark, not sending

Chorus

Had it typed, never sent it Everything I meant to say still sitting there Had it typed, never sent it Cursor blinking, I just stared Typed, not sent Typed, not sent
