[Verse 1] Alphabetize your regrets (under R) Romance, Resentment, Red wine (the list grows fast) Use a fine-point pen and a steady hand (you’ll ruin it if you rush) [sound: soft vinyl crackle begins] [Verse 2] Slide them into soft folders (label them kindly) Store them in a drawer you don’t open often Then misfile them on purpose (put lust under logic) (put hope under Ha) Ha Ha Ha ah ah ah [break – faint reversed breath, pause] [Chorus – spoken & layered] Misfiled (just where I want them) Misfiled (never yours to begin with) I shelved regret between My fault and Whatever [sound: low synth flutter, rising tone then cut] [Verse 3] I made a system I can live inside color-coded silence and unsent replies Each tab a different apology (all of them expired) [sound: typewriter click loop, slowing] [Bridge – quiet and clipped] Re-index the memory (rename the file) Forget where you put it (it remembers you) [sound: soft mechanical rewind] [Outro – flat tone, slow fade] Misfiled (on purpose) Misfiled (with care) Misfiled (so no one finds it) (not even me) [sound: paper sliding shut, abrupt silence]
