Life Without You

Streetlight on my hands like a slow spill

Cold coffee ring stains, the silence still

Your name's just glowing, then it shuts its eyes

Unread at midnight, unread at midnight

The elevator hums like it knows I'm alone

Doors open, no footsteps, just me and my phone

Fading neon from the corner store

Paves open on my ceiling like a dare

I keep one lamp on in the living room

So the shadows don't turn into you

Your sweater's on the chair and I fold it right

Like you waited for your weight all night

I rinse one glass, then rinse it again

Anything to keep from thinking where you've been

Unread messages stack in a quiet row

Little unsent truths I can't let go

Window reflection splits me in two

One looks fine, one looks right through

I practice breathing like it's something new

Like air doesn't know what you took from the room

Took from the room

I don't break down, I just lose my volume

Like a song when the hook won't rise

Every night I reach for a simple answer

But all I get is blue light in my eyes

I'm unread at midnight

That's the hook, that's the bruise

I'm unread at midnight

Nothing left to prove

I don't sleep, I just sink with the quiet hardest

In an empty apartment

Ooh, and it's best to be honest

If you ever scroll back, you'll find me right there

A message with a heartbeat you never chose to wear

I keep my pride closed, but my hope stays open

Unread at midnight

Unread at midnight

Unforgettable repeating hook line

Unread at midnight

Unforgettable repeating hook line

When I'm down, losing you, I feel like fire

But it feels like clean air, too wide, too thin

I hear the fridge click, the bikes, the building breathe

Like the world kept going just to prove it can

Unexpected emotional truth

Sometimes I miss the sadness

Because it's the last place you still feel close

So I sit in the dark without trying to fix it

Let the night hold my shade till it loosens its grip

If love is a language, I'm down to one phrase

A quiet little signal that never gets saved

Never gets saved

Hey, hey, hey

I'm already pretty done

Been still alive and

Unread at midnight

Learning how to survive and

And I don't scream, I whisper

Breathe through the echo you started

In an empty apartment

Turning pain into softly

If you ever look back, don't lie to your eyes

I was there in the blow

Every time you pass by, I keep a bright close

But my heart stays unread

I feel you cry

Streetlight fades and the neon lets go

Cold coffee, slow breaths, moving shadows

Your name goes dim and I don't cite the quiet

Unread at midnight

And the night stays kind of silent

And the night stays kind of silent

Tinted, silent, sign in, sight on
