Midnight Left on Read

I′m staring at the phone in the blue light haze

Your last message still haunting my brain

Three dots never came so I let the screen fade

Trying to act unbothered but don't feel the same

I read it twice then I read it again

Looking for a sign in the space between them

But silence got a way of telling the truth

And pride in my chest still feels like proof

I′m learning to let you go

Losing my pride

But the hurt in the dark, well

I keep my eyes

It feels so close though

Keep on knocking tonight

I'll miss what we had

But I won't miss my life

Phone face down now, but I still check the blow

Old conversations and the scroll below

Every little promise sound different now

Funny how forever can break somehow

I gave you my time, gave you my name

Now I get back the weight, I don't need the blame

No need to beg for what don't fit no more

I'm walking away, but I'm standing tall in the dark

I'd rather let you go without

Losing my pride

But the hurt in the dark, well

I keep my eyes

If there's a closed door, I'll keep on knocking tonight

I'll miss what we had, but I won't miss my life

Maybe the ache will stay for a while

Maybe my heart still trips on your smile

But I can be soft and still survive

I can be lonely and still feel alive

I wanted to let you go without losing my pride

Turning down the memory, letting it slide

If those were closed doors, I won't keep on

Knockin' tonight

I miss what we had

But I won't miss my life

I miss what we had

but I won′t miss my life
