[Intro Hook] every silence sounds intentional every delayed text feels personal [Verse 1] i turn tiny moments into storms inside my own head my brain keeps filling every blank with the worst thing left unsaid i wish i knew what people saw when they looked my way at all cause the story that i'm telling myself always ends the same old fall [Pre-Chorus] i know it sounds irrational but fear don't act logical especially when the loneliness starts narrating all of it [Chorus] i wish i could read your mind maybe then i'd finally sleep at night instead of inventing every reason why nobody stays i wish i could read your mind but maybe mine's the cruelest one tonight maybe the voice i've been listening to has been lying to me for days [Verse 2] i rehearse conversations days in advance like if i get it right i've got a chance but every word comes out too strange and suddenly the whole room changes i wanna know if people think of me after i slip out quietly or if i'm just another passing thought gone before they even caught [Pre-Chorus] i know it sounds irrational but fear don't act logical especially when the loneliness starts narrating all of it [Chorus] i wish i could read your mind maybe then i'd finally sleep at night instead of inventing every reason why nobody stays i wish i could read your mind but maybe mine's the cruelest one tonight maybe the voice i've been listening to has been lying to me for days [Bridge] maybe nobody out there judges me as hard as i do maybe every empty silence was just silence running through maybe i've been prosecuting myself in a trial nobody called standing guilty in a courtroom with nobody in the hall at all [Final Chorus] i wish i could read your mind but i'm done losing sleep tonight i've been inventing all the reasons and none of them were right maybe i don't need to read your mind maybe mine just needs to rest i've been the cruelest voice in the room and i'm putting down the gavel letting go of all the rest [Outro] i just wanna rest my thoughts i just wanna rest my thoughts lay it down and let the quiet tell me that i'm not as lost as i thought
