[Intro] (Soft, muted acoustic guitar chords layering with jazzy R&B finger snaps) (Breathy, layered vocal harmonies humming a smooth melody: Mm-mm, yeah...) (Whispered softly: Three hours later...) [Verse 1] Screen light glowing on my ceiling fan I’m staring at the typing bubbles again You start to write, then you just let it fade Leaving me stranded in the mess that we made I hit you with my heart on the line Now I’m just wasting my time, yeah [Pre-Chorus] (Bass drops in smoothly, very relaxed and groovy) And I don't wanna be that girl who checks her phone Sitting in a crowded room but feeling all alone You used to reply before I finished the phrase Now you're a million miles away, mm [Chorus] (Beat settles into a chill, rolling R&B pocket with soft synth pads) Got me left on read, hanging by a thread Re-playing every little word that you said Two blue checkmarks, heavy in my head Yeah, you got me left on read (Why you gotta do that to me, baby? Yeah) [Verse 2] (Vocals are delivered close to the mic, sweet and conversational) I see you liking pictures on your feed So I know you got the internet speed It takes two seconds just to say you're okay Instead you let the silence get in the way Is it a game? Are you trying to see Just how much sleep you can steal from me? [Pre-Chorus] And I don't wanna be that girl who checks her phone Sitting in a crowded room but feeling all alone You used to reply before I finished the phrase Now you're a million miles away, mm [Chorus] Got me left on read, hanging by a thread Re-playing every little word that you said Two blue checkmarks, heavy in my head Yeah, you got me left on read [Bridge] (The main drum loop drops out, leaving a warm electric piano and layered, breathy harmonies) Maybe I should lock my screen and just go to sleep Instead of diving into secrets that we used to keep Re-calling how we started, now look where we landed Just a conversation stranded... Yeah, oh... [Chorus] (The chill R&B beat returns, background harmonies get slightly richer but stay low and smooth) Got me left on read, hanging by a thread Re-playing every little word that you said Two blue checkmarks, heavy in my head Yeah, you got me left on read [Outro] (Instruments fade out until it's just a soft, repeating guitar pluck and breathy vocal layers) Just a ghost in your inbox... Two blue checkmarks. Mm, left on read.
