[Verse 1 - Male Vocals] Three good dates and the texts came easy Morning notes, late-night laughs, little plans She remembered the stories he told her He started looking forward to her name on the screen It felt like something was finally sticking Like the room might stay warm this time [Male Vocals] Then one ordinary Tuesday The replies just stopped [Chorus] [Male Vocals] Ghost protocol No warning, no closing line Just the quiet where her voice used to be Three good dates and then the line went dead Ghost protocol He checked once, then put the phone face down Didn’t send the double text, didn’t ask why Just let the silence do what silence does [Verse 2 - Male Vocals] He replayed the last conversation in his head Nothing sharp, nothing cold, nothing that explained it She’d laughed at his jokes, touched his arm when she left Said “talk soon” like she meant the words Now the thread just sat there unfinished Another almost that never got its ending [Chorus] [Male Vocals] Ghost protocol No warning, no closing line Just the quiet where her voice used to be Three good dates and then the line went dead Ghost protocol He checked once, then put the phone face down Didn’t send the double text, didn’t ask why Just let the silence do what silence does [Bridge - Male Vocals] He still held the door for strangers Still tipped well, still showed up on time But part of him filed another quiet note Some people leave without ever walking out [Final Chorus] [Male Vocals] Ghost protocol No warning, no closing line Just the quiet where her voice used to be Three good dates and then the line went dead Ghost protocol… Bob’s still here Still leaving the light on Even when the other side goes dark
