[Verse 1] Fourth night in the Denali rocking Wind howling outside, temperature dropping Miguel in the truck, grateful to be warm Calls his girlfriend, weathering the storm I'm checking emails, waiting for reply Business proposal, my Hail Mary try [Pre-Chorus] He asks if it's okay to say goodnight I say sure, still staring at my screen Everything riding on this one invite To meet, to talk, to make my vision seen [Chorus] When someone doesn't respond They're not interested Sweet and simple, nothing beyond That truth cuts deepest All my hopes in one inbox All my dreams in radio silence When someone doesn't respond That's my answer, that's the violence [Verse 2] Miguel's words so innocent and plain Land like a hammer on my soul Not meaning to cause me pain Just stating facts he knows are cold Kids don't even know I'm living this way Checking, refreshing, every single day [Pre-Chorus] Three years in this truck, building in the dark Believing someone someday will understand That my ideas deserve a spark That my work is worth a helping hand [Chorus] When someone doesn't respond They're not interested Sweet and simple, nothing beyond That truth cuts deepest All my hopes in one inbox All my dreams in radio silence When someone doesn't respond That's my answer, that's the violence [Bridge] Maybe I'm too old to figure this out Maybe nobody wants what I create Maybe I'm too stubborn, too full of doubt Maybe I've already sealed my fate But I can't stop now, can't turn away Even when silence is all they say [Final Chorus] When someone doesn't respond They're not interested Miguel's truth is a bond Between all the rejected All of us waiting for the call All of us giving our all When someone doesn't respond We keep going, we stand tall [Outro] We keep going... We stand tall...
