The Phone Never Loves You Back

THE PHONE NEVER LOVES YOU BACK [Intro] At 2:13, the bedroom knew your face. The one beside you only knew the glow. [Chorus] The phone never loves you back, it knew your face, it learned your laugh. You gave it hours you never had. The phone never loves you back. [Verse 1] A little girl drew at dinner on a folded paper bag: four chairs, three faces, two blue squares. She colored in your shoulders, chins against your chest, then pushed it toward you twice and left it there. The screen announced that people liked the thing you said. She took her picture to the stairs instead. [Pre-Chorus] It never stole a minute. You gave each one in. [Chorus] The phone never loves you back, it knew your face, it learned your laugh. You gave it hours you never had. The phone never loves you back. [Verse 2] One day they will sort your camera roll beside a hospital bed, a thumb will flick through ten years in a breath. They'll have the proof you stood in places, ate, and smiled, then hunt for where you looked for them. The machine will keep each perfect frame; no one in the frame can feel your name. [Bridge] It was built to hold your gaze, not hold your hand, to study hesitation when you choose. No one plans to trade a life in fragments; a minute feels too small to lose. [Chorus] The phone never loves you back, it knew your face, it learned your laugh. You gave it hours you never had. The phone never loves you back. Look up - somebody knows your laugh. Go love the ones who love you back. Loop The phone never loves you back, it knew your face, it learned your laugh. You gave it hours you never had. The phone never loves you back. mBaileyz
