Intro
(Sound of real voicemail beep) It’s 3 AM, the city’s asleep But in this room, the silence is deep
Verse 1
The screen glows, a single notification A ghost in the machine, my heart’s damnation Your name, your picture, a memory so clear I trace the glass and wish you were here Just one more time, I tell myself, just once more To hear your voice the way it was before The world outside keeps spinning on its track But in this moment, I’m always looking back
Pre-chorus
My thumb hovers, a moment of dread and need To press play… to plant the painful seed
Chorus
Voicemail I can’t delete, your voice remains Last words you left, through joy and pains Pressing replay, again and again Voicemail I can’t delete… my heart’s refrain
Verse 2
You were laughing, I remember that day Said you’d be home soon, you were on your way A promise whispered, a future so bright Now just an echo in the dead of night I close my eyes and I can see your face Your smile, your warmth, a time I can’t erase Every word a treasure, every pause a sting A beautiful torture is what you bring
Pre-chorus
My thumb hovers, a moment of dread and need To press play… to let my heart bleed
Chorus
Voicemail I can’t delete, your voice remains Last words you left, through joy and pains Pressing replay, again and again Voicemail I can’t delete… my heart’s refrain
Bridge
I should erase it, I know I should be strong But your memory’s the only place I belong This digital ghost is all I have left to hold A story in a soundbite, more precious than gold! [Choru] Voicemail I can’t delete, your voice remains Last words you left, through joy and pains Pressing replay, again and again Voicemail I can’t delete… my heart’s refrain
Outro
My heart’s refrain…
Inside the recording
It’s 3 AM, the city’s asleep But in this room, the silence is deep
My thumb hovers, a moment of dread and need To press play… to plant the painful seed
My heart’s refrain…
