Not An Answer

Verse 1

Typed out a whole paragraph

You know what I got back

Just a k

One letter and I'm stuck here

Replaying every word I sent

Trying to find the one that broke it

Pre-Chorus

And I know you're probably tired

I know you got your own night

But I'm sitting in the dark

Wondering what that k meant

Chorus

K is not an answer

It's a door that closes on me

K is not an answer

It's me asking do you even see me

And I don't know if you meant to

Make me feel this way but you did

Verse 2

Asked if you were okay

You said fine

And I said okay good

And then I just sat there

Wondering if fine meant

You're fine or you're done with me

Pre-Chorus

Maybe fine really is fine

Maybe I'm the one who overreads

But I've known your voice so long

And this one just sounds different

Chorus

Fine is not an answer

It's a wall I keep walking into

Fine is not an answer

It's me begging for a real clue

And I don't know if you meant to

Make me feel this way but you did

Bridge

We used to talk for hours

Now I count the letters back

You said whatever

And I said okay

And I meant I'm not okay

I meant I'm still here waiting

I meant I still know your jacket

I still know how you sigh

But I don't know your silence anymore

Drop

Whatever

Whatever you say

Whatever I say

Whatever I say

Chorus

Whatever is not an answer

It's me fading in your room

Whatever is not an answer

It's me learning I don't matter to you

And I don't know if you meant to

Make me feel this way but you did

Outro

Maybe I should stop typing

Maybe I should learn to just be still

But I keep rereading the old ones

Where you actually talked to me

And I keep hoping that person

Is still somewhere on your side

Mm

Mm-hmm
