Three little dots, then they disappear I swear I’ve stared at that screen for an hour here Coffee gone cold, midnight on my skin A thousand different endings playing in my head again You said you’d call when you got home tonight Now every shadow in this room feels twice as bright I pick up my phone, then I put it down Like I’m standing on the edge and scared to make a sound Should I wait? Should I run? Should I say what’s on my mind? Every answer turns to smoke Inside this anxious mind Anxious mind You’re tearing me apart Turning little silences Into broken hearts Anxious mind Won’t let me sleep tonight Makes a whisper sound like thunder Makes the darkness feel alive I wanna reach for you I wanna leave you be Somewhere between holding on And setting myself free Anxious mind I write the message, then delete each line Read the old ones back like they’re some sacred sign Was that smile just kindness? Was that touch just chance? I’m replaying every second of our last slow dance My friends all say I’m overthinking things But they don’t hear the orchestra that silence brings Every minute stretches into days And every empty space becomes a maze Should I wait? Should I run? Should I tell you how I feel? Or hide behind another joke And hope this ache ain’t real Anxious mind You’re tearing me apart Turning little silences Into broken hearts Anxious mind Won’t let me sleep tonight Makes a whisper sound like thunder Makes the darkness feel alive I wanna reach for you I wanna leave you be Somewhere between holding on And setting myself free Anxious mind Maybe you’re asleep Maybe you’re okay Maybe you’re just living life While I drift away Maybe it’s not danger Maybe it’s not doom Maybe all these monsters only live inside this room Maybe love is patience Maybe trust is blind Maybe I’m just fighting shadows Inside this anxious mind Anxious mind You’re wearing out my soul Making every question feel impossible Anxious mind Please let this moment pass Let me love without a microscope Let the future come at last If you call tomorrow I’ll probably laugh and smile At all the storms I built tonight Out of one little while Anxious mind Three little dots appear again Then your name lights up the screen And suddenly… Everything is quiet
