[Intro — chopped vocals] Read Read Read Mm, cute [Verse 1] Two blue ticks at 2:17 You were apparently alive enough to see me Not alive enough to answer one sentence But somehow online three minutes later I know the rules Don’t double text Don’t look bothered Don’t admit you noticed So naturally I checked four times Like an emotionally evolved woman [Pre-Chorus] Technology gave us So many exciting ways To know exactly When somebody chose not to speak [Chorus] Read receipts and other damage Tiny digital catastrophes You saw the words You left them sitting Then posted like you didn’t see me Read receipts and other damage Modern love with timestamps attached We used to wonder what somebody meant Now we get analytics for the crash Ooh, baby Nothing says romance Like evidence you opened that [Verse 2] You reacted to a picture from last Thursday While my actual question waited patiently I’m impressed by the administrative precision Of ignoring me selectively And yes, I know Maybe you were busy Maybe your battery was low But your battery found enough strength To like three videos So apparently she’s a fighter [Chorus] Read receipts and other damage Tiny digital catastrophes You saw the words You left them sitting Then posted like you didn’t see me Read receipts and other damage Modern love with timestamps attached If avoidance were an Olympic sport You’d have statistics for the match [Bridge — beat drops] I don’t need instant answers I’m not twelve Take an hour Take the evening Take whatever you genuinely need Just don’t perform confusion tomorrow When the app already testified [Final Chorus — stacked harmonies] Read receipts and other damage I’m deleting all the detective work If you want me Use a sentence If you don’t That also works Read receipts and other damage No more zooming in on little signs You can keep the blue ticks, baby I’m reclaiming all my time [Whistle run / chopped outro] Read-read-read— Ooh!
