didn't go quiet overnight. I tried to be honest. It turned into a fight about you. So I learned silence is cheaper than honesty. I still care. I just stopped feeling safe. Make it safe twenty times, not once... and I'll talk again.[Intro - Spoken] [Verse 1] Three days to find the words to say Wrote it down, then I threw it away Heart in my hands, you saw a blade Flipped the script, made me the mistake Bring up last week every time Now I'm on trial for speaking my mind [Pre-Chorus] Silence don't argue back Silence don't keep score like that Silence don't twist what I meant That's why I went quiet instead I left you on read in the neon light Not 'cause I don't care, it's self-defense at night Every time I open up, you reload the gun So I drive solo when the damage done I left you on read in the neon light Vulnerability cost me peace, that's right It's not cold love, it's survival mode I left you on read[Chorus] read... read... read...[Drop] [Verse 2] You say "talk to me" like it's easy now Tried twenty times, you shut me down I feel too much, that's why I hide Can't afford to bleed every night [Pre-Chorus] Silence is cheap, truth is expensive Learned that lesson being defensive Not mad, just protecting what's left Of the boy who thought love meant safe I left you on read in the neon light Not 'cause I don't care, it's self-defense at night Every time I open up, you reload the gun So I drive solo when the damage done I left you on read in the neon light Vulnerability cost me peace, that's right It's not cold love, it's survival mode I left you on read[Chorus] If you want the real me back Show me, don't tell me, stay on track Twenty safe conversations, no attack Then watch how fast I unpack[Bridge] I left you on read... Not gone, just learning how to breathe again[Outro - Spoken]
